近來逛電腦電器店次數頻密，反正電腦、屏幕、大小器材都亂看一通。常常有一個想法就是說，賺到一點點錢之後，就必須再投資自己的翻譯生意，例如增添器材或提升軟體，日後接案子經營生意才能愈做愈好。
靠電腦吃飯的朋友一定知道，世上沒有百分之百可靠的電腦，唯一靠的就是人不斷去維修、維持讓電腦長期處於一個可以處理工作的水準。為了保持這個可持續工作的狀態，唯一方法就是需要花錢維修作提升。平時花一些小錢維修電腦，總好過一年到三年不維修，等到它當機之後直接換新的電腦。這麼做不是不可以，只是有些浪費而且無謂。每兩三年就一台新的電腦，舊的都要收藏到哪裡去呢？
所以說念舊一些，盡可能維修舊的電腦，對自己、對環保也是好事。
Recently I have been visiting computer shops in a frequent manner. Not that I am shopping for new equipment all the time; it is just that I am looking around to see if I can find something suitable. My idea is that when I earn some money from translation business, I shall take a small portion to reinvest into my business again so that I can do better in the future.
Those who depend on computers for a living know that computers are never 100 per cent reliable. The only way to keep your computers workable is that you need to always maintain and fix it. And you need to spend some money to do your maintenance and upgrade.
Spending some money for computer maintenance is better than getting a new one after three years without service or repair. Well, you might want to buy a new laptop once every two to three years, but it creates another problem as to where you are going to keep the old ones.
Another good point to maintain my old laptops is that I make sure I create less electronic waste to the world.
