Hey, how about an original MacIntosh Performa 550 w/CD drive plus external hard drive that runs at the amazing speed of 33 MHz and still works fine, never died even once (while the Windoze 3.0 stuff of the same era had a blue screen of death every couple days)?
I think I still have Sun Unix on that old 386 carcass... Might put a new button cell in the MB and fire it up sometime...
I believe the warranty is hardware. As long as you don't alter the OS (and all those updates are peripheral), Walmart will have to take it back.
Ahhhh... Unix, the truly good old days.... I can almost remember the Scribe codes we used to write manuals.... Sigh.
They got some sort of seal on the cabinet? If not, you could always shove the Win10 HD back in it if you gotta take it back. If there is no seal, how would they know you used a different HD?
Ahh remember CPM? I had an Osborne portable once upon a time.
While that likely would be something one could get away with, the XP is eMachines and the new Win10 POS I just got to replace it is HP. Likely, the hardware is not interchangeable without some modification.
I don't remember Osborne, but do know many who had Commodores (those guys are all dead now). My first personal computer was an Apple Lisa modified to pretend it was a MacIntosh (which made the 2:3 vs 1:1 screen aspect ratio wrong if trying to draw graphics). It had a 5 Mb hard drive and I just knew I would never in my lifetime need more space than that. Hell, today, one simple graphics program uses ten times that much space.
That would depend on whether they changed the dimensions of the slot the HD fits into. I worked on well over a dozen computers, and in every instance, everything was interchangeable, until Win10 came out, and everything was smaller. I never had an HP machine, but one might assume it's the same deal.
Of the two that are available to have parts swapped, IF her problem is the power supply, I don't have a replacement because part of the XP's problem is also power. I'm not going to waste my time swapping shit around just to have it die again in another week. I have a thousand things that need doing here on the farm before bad weather gets here and I am already way behind. Should have done more fencing today, but between the cold weather and bad back pains... well... and I am already a month behind on the firewood cutting. I really don't have time to fuck with these stupid computers. If I had my way, we'd just go back to hand-written letters and postage stamps.
I doubt you'll ever find that. Most vape shops are run by young cloud chuckers who think we old folks are stupid enough to believe their bullshit stories and likely will charge us more, not less.
wow, you meanie....
Yeah, I know...wow, you meanie....
The XXX, by the way, was your "finger," not whatever other perverted portion of your body you might have been thinking of. Your hands have more bacteria per square inch than any other [external] portion of your anatomy. Ever hit your finger with a hammer by accident, then immediately put it in your mouth to make the hurt go away? And children grow up sucking their thumbs... and... well, like you said, enough of that subject.
You really cannot change my mind about my hate for cats regardless of how many other examples of filth you may type......Yeah, I know...
Glad you got some help with that pain and are now feeling better.
I am not sure I looked at the thermometer more than twice today. It was in the 60s this morning, then I started sweating a lot (Lannie and I made another fence) so it probably was high 70s. It is about 50 right now.
Damn nice weather. It's unseasonably lukewarm here, I don't think it hit 100.
I could live with these temperatures just fine, even though the bathroom first thing in the morning feels like I need the heater on.
Worried about who gets that new house in EC if you croak, huh? Sigh...
Just kidding, I asked her to fly here....got a contract with Circle-K corp to inspect a shitload of their properties. I'll be here awhile.I could live with these temperatures just fine, even though the bathroom first thing in the morning feels like I need the heater on.

Ah, so somebody really is conspiring to keep you here instead of letting you fly away to South America....
Yep, the damn economy......Ah, so somebody really is conspiring to keep you here instead of letting you fly away to South America....
who is telling me to lie down tonight. I think Teddy is already snuggled with Lannie. This house is just so full of adorable pussies... 
I can't stand cats either. They are vile and disgusting. I have no idea why anyone would ever want to fuck one.wow, you meanie....
Sorry, I hate fucking cats....nothing more to say about the subject.....
Hang in there.
OMG! When I lived in Missouri we had a cat named monster. She was beautiful. Our neighbors moved out one day (we were living in a apartment) and that was the last time we seen her.
Mine was a beautiful American Bobtail. Some people thought he was actually a small bobcat. He was a kitten of a feral cat living under a neighbor's house. Those people were crazy druggies, and dared me to try to catch a kitten. No sweat! When I caught him, I had him purring within a minute.
Yeah, me too. As a hasty generalization, I have to say that I can get along with every cat I have ever met, but less than 10% of humans.Avowed dyed-in-the-wool
Sounds about right.
Total agreement, so long as you assess the situation carefully. That is, we have a couple outside dogs trained to protect the livestock on our property. They routinely chase critters who do not belong here, and bark at all humans who come on the property (including the mail lady who surely must be stealing something from our mailbox every day). If that human is greeted by and escorted onto the property by Lannie or me, the dogs back off, but if that person is on our property without escort, those dogs make it quite plain they are not welcome. That is different, in my opinion, than a dog growling his/her dislike for someone who is standing next to me while we talk. If THAT is the case, then I also develop an immediate question about that person's trustworthiness. Dogs (and cats and very many other animals) seem to be able to read a persons energy (aura?) and quickly make a decision about whether or not that person is good or bad.
Ah, yes, I remember that from back in Orygun. No one collects garbage here (we're too far away from civilization), so I don't know for sure how our current dogs would react, but given that they have this "bark and chase" game with the mail lady, I'm sure they would do the same if we had garbage collectors.
