A friend of mine has gone the the big LAPTOP HEaven in the sky. :(
 

It's official, he struggled, but jsut couldn't pull through the operation i performed on him.

I got it in 2001, its a toshiba satellite 2805-S402, was the fist laptop built for gaming.

It served me well and now its time to say goodbye. :(

Many years of wear and tear and tradeshows and nightclub abuse have taken it away before its time. It's 850Mhz was still beating, then there was a short.

Its just time, I've ben wanting a new one anyhow.


R.I.P. Friend.

Get yourself a Macbook to replace it.

RIP dude...

Sad. I know the feeling of letting go of old computers.

once skynet takes over it will be repaired and come back to you ;)

i think i def like that because now i can run mac and win if i want too :) and a powerbook would be good for editing too :)

I wish you and your fingers the best bro

whats the protocol for burial?

do i just get a hammer and take it out in a blaze of fury or should i dismantle it and distribute its parts all over the entire town?

hammer is looking at me going "lets smash it!"

hmmmmmn.

The Dual boot option is cool, but my girl demo'd this at a conference last week and said it rocked.

yeah i've always wanted a mac since X came out. this is enough for me to pick one up. the dual boot is attractive. i'm gonna go to the store and check em out and hen buy online trying to find a deal.

Rip Dude.

Apple limits the amount that retailers can sell for. In the case of the $1099 Macbook, you'll find it for about $50 less at places like MacMall or MacWarehouse.

Some of them are even offer units with OSX and WinXP installed.

I feel your loss, my Thinkpad is not long for this world, it would break her heart if I started looking for a replacement while shes still around.

Least ya had one. I want one :)

I would replace it with another toshiba. if that one was that good, then why the hell not.

awww.............I know the feeling, I still haven't let go of the computer I built to start this company 4 years ago................

man, i never once had a problem with it, not once, then the lan card and ports went out. then the hard drive started grindin. then it started to freeze up. all in the last 3 months. its time, its 5 years old now. in laptop years thats an eternity.

toshiba makes great laptops. i'd get another one.

I have two @#$!@#$!@$@# Toshiba's that are sitting in a drawer because they died before their time (one is a year old, the other is 2 years old)

That was the one Jeff bought for you, right? Bye bye little buddy, we had fun at the model rectruiting house by the beach with you, you were a good friend

RIP

How sad :( RIP

RIP to the Toshiba!

Personally, I've had nothing but bad experiences with Toshibas. Though, I'm posting from one now. :D

Not bad for a suggestion.. :thumbsup
