zlim 1,195 Posted February 4 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raymac46 2,662 Posted February 4 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
