Title: Do I really just have paper weights now?
Post by: urobouros on January 10, 2005, 06:39:47 PM

I was cleaning this weekend and found two rather old lap tops.  From looking around here, it would seem they are junk at this point due to their age.  I just wanted to confirm that I can't upgrade an 8 or 10 year old lappy.

Thanks,

Todd

you probably could upgrade a 1995 lap all the way up to 1996,maybe 97 and it would not be worth the cost Laptops-or i-macs are a what-you-see-is-what-you-get thing,modifications are expensive and difficult at best

Ebay seems like the only way I might get some cash for 'em.  I might give a whirl for gits and shiggles.  T+ for the suggestion!
