Comment on Ever get a weird/sentamental feeling when getting rid of old computers?

Comments

I used to. But I've gotten into the habit of selling on my current computer (a Macintosh) every six months and upgrading. But selling my first NeXT Cube was a real blow, I admit.

I agree with this. The really old and crusty ones are a bit sentimental, but if you get rid of them before they get old and crusty there's no nostalgia.

For instance, I got rid of my Dell laptop that I used for 4 years in college, but it was pretty difficult getting rid of my old Tandy that I had when I was growing up. I'll kindly get off your lawn now :)
