Advertisements [?]

1.2 gigahertz, 20gb drive, 256mb ram.
4 years ago this cost over $4,000, it was close to the macdaddy non-gaming laptop.

mrs. unblock just bought a new computer & monitor for about $1,000.
almost 3 gigahertz, 80gb drive, 512mb ram

and yet, while my "obsolete" computer, so "slow" that they don't even sell anything so lame these days, it serves me fine.

i run quicken, do my taxes, some seriously cpu-draining excel work, have several internet explorer windows open all at the same time, along with vpn and webmail to work. no problem.
