The cost of refurbishing an existing a computer is more expensive than simply buying an new one when you factor in the cost of labor. That and the fact that the PC computer industry is based on the model of built-in obsolescence. But i think in a few years you'll be working from a dumb terminal and all of the processing will be happening in the cloud... In that case this will cease to be an issue. --20cf303f6acc71e6d804b828c3e7 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sat, Feb 4, 2012 at 11:25 AM, Ren P <fantigua@comcast.net> wrote:
