Machine retirement

Ahh, the old Insurance.com laptop.We were given these beasts as everything got parceled out from the demise of the company. They weren't really worth anything back then... At the time they were already four or five year old laptops. Now, I think they're around seven or eight years old.I was using it before to add some music to my reloading room and to track my loading data. For that it's still probably pretty well suited.Around a year ago I upgraded my indoor trainer to have video and such as well. For that it's definitely showing its age.Slinging around Google Earth maps and trying to animate things just wasn't cutting the mustard any more. Laggy. Slow. It couldn't even drive a 1600 x 1200 display at a decent clip.The new MacBook Pro to the rescue.Even running Windows in Parallels it can simply run circles around it. That's not really surprising, but seeing the two side-by-side really drives it home. I've never really thought of a VM for running 3D, but it's doing it -- and doing it well.I guess the Dell can be put out to pasture and run the audio for reloading again.
