114802	2003-01-15 22:49:00	Can somebody please tell me why when I turn off the computer the screen comes up with factory burn in. Also what is the life of a computer that is used about 3 .hours a day Thanks	lojos_ (1659)

Depends on what it is really, but should be a long time... Ive had a 486 until not too long ago (I sold it) and most of the parts were origional.. Id added a sound and network car, but other than that, it was all made in 94. Still works a treat!	Chilling_Silence (9)
114804	2003-01-15 22:57:00	pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Apparently it's a monitor problem, not a PC problem. As to your 2nd question, it depends on the quality of the components, and the quality of the entire PC. Computers can last for a long time if you treat them nicely, but they won't alway be capable of doing the newest tricks on the market. You may have a PC from 1985 which still works, but you won't be able to buy applications for it in most cases.	honeylaser (814)
