hehe - sounds like what I'd hope for.
I've had my current laptop (Dell Inspiron, nothing flashy except I upgraded the RAM a long time ago) since November 2006. I'd stopped traveling with it (thankfully not often needed for work) a couple of years ago, but it'd done really well.
Unfortunately, while it worked fine it had XP so replacement was needed since I loathe WIN8. I finally bought a WIN7 laptop this week to meet me upon returning to the Western world next week.
