No actually Gary, I buy cheap and often. And those 22 computers, 20 of them
still work fine. They are just outdated and not as useful compared to the
latest group of computers I have. I have also used more than one computer to
multitask and I continue this practice to this very day.
Yes it helps greatly since multitasking OS, but one task still can hog the
whole CPU time. Video converting and sometimes real time video recording
comes to mind. Burning CD/DVD also comes to mind. Also when you do updates
or installing some applications, requires rebooting sometimes. With multiple
computers, I'm always up 24/7. Which is far better than most corporations
can say.
I also find that having more than one computer is very useful in case
disaster strikes. Say a hard drive fails, RAM going bad, motherboard
failure, install disaster, etc. I am still up and running regardless.
Actually in all of these years, I only had two hard drives fail (both in the
90's) and only one memory stick gone bad. I guess the moral of the story is
be prepared and then you have nothing to worry about it.
I don't know how you got the idea that I have been using ZSoft since '81. As
I only have been using it for the last few years. I find it to be a
wonderful piece of software. I never seen it screw anything up yet. ;-)
