Got a 2005 Asus EEPC netbook hanging around that is still part of the
family and does useful work. Battery still good (replaced twice) and a
few scratches on the screen and a broken key. Took it on the train
with me recently as I just needed to read some PDF files and so scpd
them to it and threw it in a bag.
Looking after electronics, repairing stuff and treating it with
respect is just part of my way. That one has an old Puppy Linux on
it. Works fine.
The original sense of the word "materialism" is a respect for material
things - it's a very positive word. But it changed in the 80s
(probably after Madonna's "Material Girl" :) to mean something
negative and shallow.)
