Young ones tell us that once a computer is about 2 - 3 years old it is out of date.... not for me, if it does what I need.

DH suggested a laptop when we replaced ours 2 years ago. I preferred the pc and as it's me who is the main user we went with that.

Then DH suggested buying me a laptop at Christmas but I preferred not. I like sitting at the desk, papers set properly where I can see them. Perhaps this is because I was always an office worker, starting off with shorthand and typing in the late 60s and progressing through the various stages of technology. I type quickly.

I have a Kindle HD that I can use when not using the main pc, it isn't as comprehensive as a full pc but is sufficient for my needs.

DC and DGC think I am old fashioned but I'm happy with what I have.
Perhaps if I did have a lap top I would change my mind ??

I print out quite a bit of stuff gangy and use a laptop. Dh's laptop is linked to the same printer too so there is quite a bit of printing going on!

At the moment I have a desktop which now needs replacing and am wondering whether to continue on the same lines or get a laptop. I have alot of projects on the go and feel comfortable with a desktop and feel that as I print alot also it would probably be the best thing. It seems that desktops are becoming a thing of the past and that I'm being rather 'old fashioned' to stick with the same thing.
What would be your choice?
