How old is "old" in computer years?

You know it's time to get a new computer when surfing a few websites, updating Facebook, and posting a blog take over six hours. Not because of distractions but because it is taking, on average 2.5 minutes for a page to load. It's like the olden days of dial-up without the annoying modem sound and everyone else in the house going at ten-times the speed. Soon I will be saying bye-bye to this old laptop which has served me for over nine years.

Nine years? Nine? Surely you jest.

I do not jest. Ask my brother. He will tell you that I am frugal to the point of ridiculousness. (He prefers the term "cheap")
