While I like higher end computers, I am happy with a lower end but reliable car. Had a used Corolla before this one - bought it used (5 years) and my plan was to keep it at least 10 years. About one month before that 10 years I got rear-ended and the car was totaled. Before that I had decided I could likely keep it another 5 years or so... though it was beginning to have some issues. With this car no plans on replacing it any time soon, though this one I bought new so it is "only" about 10 years old and not 15. :) -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: * Mint KDE working with folders: * Mint KDE creating files: * Mint KDE help: * Mint KDE general navigation: * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: * OS / Word Processor Comparison:
