My 9 year old laptop is currently sitting in two pieces... But only because I wanted to pull the hard drive out for easier transferring of old files I wanted to keep.

When I get back to the main part, I'll be removing 90% of the apps on it, doing everything I can to make it run better, and it will be my hobby shop computer. It was going back and forth between my game room and the garage where I kept my lasers and printers.

If and when it finally bites the dust, it will be given a place of honor amongst the modern tech. Like a transparent top coffee table with all the parts disassembled and arranged inside.

I'm weirdly nostalgic about my electronics.
