As nomad said, things are much more reliable now and the prices aren't that bad. If something dies after 3x years, you might as well upgrade to a new system rather than fiddle about upgrading 3 year old hardware. |

| 1324583 | 2013-01-25 06:58:00 | Yes I hear you all, the upgrade options available on these PCs are limited, but my Dad is one of the blokes who likes to use a computer to the best of its ability - meaning till it is just about to die on him! Anyways, he is still pondering over the decision, for a wee while yet, and thanks all of you for your advice. |

I also find double clicking awkward (arthritis) , just select then hit 'Enter'. |
