In 2004 I got a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. It has served me very well over the years and this year it was time to renew my warranty but I didn't have the money and because it's fairly old I just decided that it wasn't worth it to keep paying to renew it. Instead I could just let it lapse and if something goes wrong with it then I guess I will have to start saving money to get a new one. In the meantime it's been turned off and sitting on my desk with the lid closed for the last 6 months.
I think that it's time to turn it on and start transferring all the documents, pictures, music, videos etc over to the desktop just in case it does crash. Once that's finished then I'm going to reformat it so it's got a nice fresh Windows installation so it's fast again. Maybe if it's fast then I might use it again. That's one of the reasons it's been closed all this time because I turn it on and it takes about 20 minutes before I can even go to a website. It's so frustrating to have to wait that long.
One of the main uses for the laptop these days is for when we travel because I have the Microsoft Streets & Trips with USB GPS. I would much rather have a TomTom or a Garmin GPS though because it's too hot to have a laptop on my lap during a 6 hour trip lol.
This is going to take awhile lol.
By the way, when I say it's on my lap for 6 hours I mean as the passenger lol. I don't drive...
