Is it normal that my pc has lasted 7 years and still's run like the first day?

My PC is 12 years old. Still runs fine.

Are you gonna have a funeral if that happens?

Had a Windows 98 used daily for 12 years,(September 1998- December 2010) that my parents bought brand new, which was my personal computer since 05 (so five years for me) then bought a Windows 7 laptop for college, laptop is now 5 years old and still running, albeit slowly, but it has always been slow. The 98 still runs, but needs a sound card, plus I haven't been able to find a way to make certain things run on it, so now its for playing old games.

The xp my mother bought in 2005 worked fine till a month ago, when the power box went out.

My PC has been functioning for 4.5 years now and seen no problem. Its in my mother house and runs 24/7 and all my sisters still lives in that house and they watch TV shows all most all the time from the PC. But still it runs very smooth without any problems. I dont think that the house

My laptop is 14 and I am typing from it right now.

hahahahahahaha Hypocrites! Yes, I plan to do a funeral, taking a 50's cadillac for that, using Windows 98 yet, while I fuck my best friend and in the way to the funneraI, I will put all you underground!. Sure I would be grateful! Oh... I forgot want to do all this while I fuck with a child with cáncer too! one by one XD
But I see many comments and few votes. I want to see the statistics of all of you.

Why are you keeping such an outdated piece of technology? Hit it with an ebolohammeh and purchase a new one.

Are you still using Windows XP?

You know one thing about today's technology is that the manufacturers realised quickly that consumers won't buy new products if the devices they use is still relevant to their needs so they came up with "updates" that rendered the devices useless.

Of course there are legitimate updates but most of them are fucking useless to the average Joe or Jane.

It's unusual that anything running Microsoft products has lasted that long period. But even being in top condition it's still going to be dog slow next to new, properly kitted out product, especially if it's running a superior operating system, which when it comes to Microsoft isn't that hard to beat.

Hate to get evangelistic about this subject but if you're not running one Linux distribution or another you're not really living.
