And just because something hasn't worked in a particular setting doesn't mean it can't. It may well mean the implementation or time wasn't right.
Absolutely agreed. Here at work, the laptop I was given in 2004 has lasted me until only JUST this year (2009!) when the hard drive finally died and the company FINALLY admitted that it was worth replacing.

Honestly.. I didn't even really think I needed it replaced but hey, no complaint here.
