Default How Old Is Your Computer?

Just a random question I thought up.. My computer will be 7 years old on Christmas and I wish we'd get a new one.

Mine is 7~8 years old, though I'm not sure exactly when. If all goes according to plan, I'll be on a brand new laptop this week. ...No guarantees though.

My system is about 3 years old, though I have started to upgrade parts in it to make it more recent. My netbook is only 4 months old.

I believe I got it around 2006, making it around 4 years old.

It's only slow because it's full of pictures. :V

When I get my laptop it'll be brand new. o3o

Mine will soon be 2 years old but it acts more like it's 10.

This thing is a Windows XP Professional that's been running for a grand total of 7 years including this one.

... it sucks and I hate it.

Let's see...

I got this late August last year after my old one gave in. So it's almost a year old. And it's fine! (I had to send it off for repairs after only five months, though D: )

The Raidmax itself is five years old, but the guts are all less than two. It varies, depending on what part you're talking about. The OS is seven years old, and growing.

I know a guy who still has a computer from 94. It's his main computer, AFAIK.

I forgot about the other computer. 7 years old, upgraded from 2000 to XP. It's like Lite's, just worse.

Epic old machines.

Does the server still have drivers and gear for 56.6k modems?

You should meet my dad, he tried to make me a Windows 7 with FireWire ports. Unfortunately the FireWire ports broke the machine and he had to take it apart and put it back together.

I could tell you, but its video card is shot.

EDIT: It has the parts, driver status is unknown at this time.

I would like to add something I forgot about in my previous message. I also have an old Macintosh PowerBook 100 from 1991 that I still use from time to time.

Brand new laptop now, running 64-bit Windows 7.

I forgot I also have a 14-year-old one that runs '98.

My computer was passed down from my dad when he got a new one. In total, even after an upgrade to maximum performance in 2007, it's about 9 years old and still plodding along. (:

There is no way to tell the age of my computer per se. I built it myself and kept replacing components as time went by.

My oldest peripheral, the speakers, date 8 years ago. My main harddrive is 7 3/4 years old. My 2nd harddrive is 5 1/4 years old. My 3rd harddrive is 3 1/4 years old, along with my computer case. My power supply is 3 years old. My wireless card and monitor are 2 years old. My graphics card, processor, DVD writer, motherboard, and memory modules are 1 year old. My card reader is 2 months old.
