Computers!

[unspeakablehorror]

Today I restored an old laptop I had lying around that I'd taken the harddrive out of a while back.  I bought an inexpensive 120 GB SSD and installed Elementary OS on it and now I have a completely usable computer.  I'm not too concerned about the hard disk space because I have a number of external drives and thumb drives and I want to move towards keeping data on those rather than on my laptop anyway.  I think I can probably get many more years out of this thing!

Yeah, being able to repair computers has been very useful to me. I've been doing it since I was a kid! There have been times when it's literally meant the difference between me having and not having a computer at all. In this case, I wouldn't have been without a computer, but it's nice to have the repaired one as a backup, especially since I seem to be having some worrying computer issues lately and I definitely do not want to have to buy another computer any time soon. Unfortunately my newest computer, even though it does sort of work, has been giving me so many issues. Am liking my old computer better than the new one at the moment!
