I’ve just done something I’ve never done before

Laptops are essentially non-upgradeable. True, you can upgrade the RAM and/or the hard-drive. And you can replace the DVD, if applicable. But mainly, it is a single unit. You get what you get. So, aside from the standard usb mouse, I’ve never bought any add-on. Not anymore. The longest I’ve had a laptop was 18 months. I want this one to last at least as long as the contract for my usb modem. So last night, I ordered an extra battery and power cord for it. I figure those 2 are the first to go, and I can one cord in my backpack (which I also replaced just for this laptop), and keep one at home.

I’m going to make it last….
