Never buy a computer you can’t throw out of the window

This statement by some unknown sage speaks to me right now. 2009 will be engraved in my memory as the Year of the Dud Computers. Six (count them: six) computers have died on me since this time last year. Two desktop machines at work, plus my own desktop at home; and two work laptops, plus [...]
