Weather Station PC upgraded - sort of

Finally got around to upgrading the main computer that the weather station runs on.
The 9 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop was upgraded to a 6 year old Sony Vaio. Oh the horsepower now! Not that the system needed it, but the whine of the hard drive was getting to be annoying. The Toshiba was up and running 24/7 since March 2005 - that is impressive! Just need to find an old 4GB 2.5" hard drive to replace the whiny one and the Toshiba will be ready for service. They don't make them like they use to. (Boy I sound old now.) The new Sony is now a year newer than the main web server which is 7 years old. Cheap stuff can still be useful!
Cheers - JZ
