zlim Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Your "junkers" are newer than my working computers! I'm on an 11 year old eMachine Walmart special desktop. My Acer netbook is 7 years old. Both are used daily. My husband's Dell refurbed desktop is probably 13 or 14 years old. His Acer netbook, a hand-me-down from me is 9 years old. He uses the netbook daily. The desktop is no longer used very often. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Well maybe not all but the first 3 would be. The netbook my neighbor gave up on years ago and I rescued it from the recycle bin. The 12 year old desktop I got to replace a Dell from 2000. The 8 year old laptop has a broken hinge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
