Alan2273 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 My trusty faithfull HP 950C printer has finally popped its clogs after 9 years of use and abuse, I have now got to go to Comet to pick out a new one.Not many peripherals last that long do they.

CurlyWhirly Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not many peripherals last that long do they.Well my old XP PC and my current 21" CRT monitor are around 7 years old.Also my old Epson printer lasted around 5 years.

My two Epson printers only lasted two years apiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Astounding. Obviously not a Friday afternoon model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Deepest sympathies. Can't remember when I first built my PC, it has been through many upgrades/MB's/PSU's/HDD's and optical drives. Don't think it will stand any further changes. Mind as long as it keeps going I'll be happy. Don't want to fork out for a new one.Reminds me of G'father's axe, must have been at least 130 years old and only had 5 new handles and 2 new heads in all that time.

I've told it that retirement is in about a year...........It's been a good friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 My oldest possession is me, a regular de scale a bit of sagging and a little hairless and a slowdown but still going reasonably strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I now am the proud owner of a HP 4850.I used to think my old one printer was reasonably fast but this was is supersonic.The old one printed a 6" x 4" in about a minute, the new one took 8 seconds and looked better.I just hope it lasts as long as the 950C.

Dencandy Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Reminds me of G'father's axe, must have been at least 130 years old and only had 5 new handles and 2 new heads in all that time.Just a thought doug, if you're of a philosophical frame of mind, in that case is it still the same axe?
