How old is your computer? And, who here is using the oldest laptop/computer on the forum? I am curious, because I use old computers, and may end up taking the cake.
Up until a few months ago, I had been using old laptops made before 2010 with linux operating systems installed. And, I was content. A few months ago my old dell died, and I was given a new HP laptop. And, I hate it. The screen is an led screen, and like all other led technology, it makes my eyes hurt. As a result, I learned that around 2010 screen technology completed the switch across the board to LED screen technology from the older CCFL technology(cold cathode florescent light). Ever since I got this new laptop my sleep has been bad, and it got worse when I got a new bedroom LED lightbulb to replace the old one that was not LED, making me suspicious of LED as being the problem. In sum, I would certainly say I have suffered from insomnia these past few months. I have pulled all nighters. But, it is also in part to the fact that I have night time asthma that can get pretty bad.
A week ago, I acquired some really old laptops that I have been considering investing in mainly because they have CCFL screens. I got rid of my LED lightbulbs, and I am getting rid of LED computer screens. So, now I have two really old laptops. One is a NOS dell 4100 from 2001 with 256mb or ram with a 1024mb max which I will invest in to meet the max. And, the other is a sony vaio pcg-k25 from 2004 with similar specs. These are pretty old. Puppy linux barely works on the sony, and it doesn't properly work on the dell, but I think that is because it is 64 bit, and I installed a 32 bit version of a 300mb linux onto a current 256mb system. Both laptops can only make use of 1024mb max. I think once I do that, they will handle most lightweight linux OS's without much problem. And, most importantly I like the screens. I really do.
I would go a desktop route if they still made ccfl monitors I could buy new, but they don't. So, I am going to attempt to use one of these old laptops from before 2005.
Does it take the cake? Is there anyone else on this forum using CCFL screen technology?
