If so, he wants a system that works on FM: Fscking Magic.
Yeah, I agree with Joe Zeff here. The whole thing reads as weird to me
from what Todd has said.
Look, computers are computers. There is a limit to their reliability
as they age. I've had numerous clients who computers have straight up
died even though they were acting fine prior, and all I've said to
them is "I told you to replace it sooner."
I just had fans die on TWO Lenovo x120e within 2 weeks! Replacing the
fans is a bit of work, I have done it; so off to the recycling these
go! Ebay here I come...
Seriously, if he's that cheap, does he pay you enough to keep his
ancient system working or are you just keeping him as a client out of
habit. Remember, if you drop him, it's highly unlikely that he'll find
anybody else willing to put up with his conditions so you've got that as
leverage to get him to be sensible.
I don't know, it's all subjective and up to your interpretation but 11
years is definitely pushing it.
Personally, I'm worried about that being connected to the internet at
this point in time; and if I were Todd in this situation, I'd
personally put my foot down now. Just my two cents.
