Well, it seems my laptop, though it has been with me through many times, and i've learned countless things on it, is reaching the end of the line. Its becoming aged, and many parts are beginning to die out one by one. ACPI gone.. CD Burner, flickering candle of hope, it still works half the time, but that means it wastes many cd's, battery is non existant 5 minute charge, touchpad can no longer be turned off, powerbutton works, but not instantly anymore, sometimes takes several times to get it to go, and pcmcia port is busted(meaning no wireless). And S-video port messed up years ago, that was the first to go.
IT's going down the drain . =/
Started out, when I got it in 10th grade around Halloween. or at least in the fall, i think it was just a little bit before christmas...had to be because I got the keyboard soon after. Began playing Renegade and stuff, since I have played that for so long.
Helped me through cisco class, learned alot of programming stuff on it, and spent a few mournings modifying renegade, or at least trying to learn it. Taking notes as I eagerly studied,
remember spending nights under the covers, looking for cool software.
Maybe i could set it up as a server afterwards, and get rid of the tower, this could do everything faster, and I could keep it on FC6 as well, and not worry about the extra setup
It's been a faithful machine.
