15 years ago and I had to set up the computers for my department. At the time they were built for our use and I got a local company to build them to the spec we required. 100 gb hard disc---2 mgb of memory--And a video card that would handle the graphics programmes required. They were replaced about 8 years ago and I aquired a couple for "HOME" use for the staff. The last one of those has finally died a death. The owner has just bought a new computer and is complaining that none of his Games will run on W7.

I did point out to him that he is probably the only other person I know- besides me- that understands Dos 6.1 so it is about time he came into the 21st. Century and got some new games.

And My wife's Acer laptop is about to be replaced in the next year. It is 6 years old- still works fine but is just running a bit slow. Considering as how it was the cheapest we could buy at the time it has done very well but memory is the problem. W7 likes more than 1gb of memory and that is the max that it can take.
