Greetings future humans! I am a time traveler from 2005!

Earleir today I was working on my laptop when it made a farting sound and crashed. I dug out the old boat anchor from the back of the closet, and guess what? IT STILL WORKS!

Windows 95!
Firefox 1.0.7!
No wireless anything!

And the cooling fan is driving me nuts! God, how did I work with this thing?

Needless to say, I think I'll be needing a new PC. I can't sign into any accounts for work, I can't get any email, Half of the sites I go to won't display properly because of their security requirements, and the lack thereof on any browser I can download & run.

What do you think you are going to buy? My Toshiba Netbook keeps giving me a hard-drive warning. I have all my files on a thumb-drive now, just waiting for that final fart I guess.
