Q: I’m an older model Pentium
III desktop. Recently, my guy
has started perusing computer
marketplace sites and downloading
model specs. He claims
he just likes to look. Should I be
concerned?
A: Yes. You can try defragging or
getting a system tune up, but if
he’s already looking, you’re probably
just postponing the inevitable.
Operating in denial doesn’t
help. Accept that you’re getting
older and may not be providing
for his needs. I’ve known many
machines who’ve been relatively
happy in their later years being
the “other” computer, performing
backups, storing photos, or doing
simple word processing tasks. As
long as you keep yourself useful,
you might not end up being
given to the wife’s second cousin’s
brother-in-law for experimentation
or spare parts.
