My laptops hard-drive has gone from just making clicking noises to actively giving read errors. Something will have to be done soon, very soon. I have two choices: replace the hard drive or get a completely new computer. The first option is a lot cheaper, but the laptop has been used daily for four years and is already on it’s second hard disk, battery and keyboard. The second battery is now down to half-an-hour worth of power and the backlight on the screen is slowly fading. It would be a no-brainer if it wasn’t for two things: the need to save for renovations/wedding and the fact that I can’t find a reasonably priced laptop with significantly better specs than I currently have.
PS: Fernando, we do use scheme, but only for the games.
