i need a new pc boss

as suspected, the machines in chee-na office are damn old.

and mine, according to outsourced IT guy, is at least 4 years old (inherited from predecessor).

heck, the desktop is even older than my old acer at home (i am currently using a fujitsu duo core processor - and i am already complaining).

funny thing is - my office pc hangs on me every day from 9am till lunchtime. especially microsoft outlook. open an email = reboot pc (repeat when necessary)

i dont know how to justify to my boss, but i really only want a new pc.

i even consider telling him, "why dont i bring my own laptop to work?" ie. mine is even more hi tech than yours!

any ideas? alternatively, i can just work half a day in afternoon.

i swear i didnt cause this problem!

ps. to visualize the extent of the stinginess, 80% of office still using CRT monitors. ahahaha...

Tell boss that loss of pc hours translates into loss of productive man/woman hours => less productivity & less effeciency?

Backup data, format, re-install. Maybe that will help.
