Sputnik II.

This busted-ass E-machines computer made it through OEF VII with me. It was choked with moon dust and slammed around in the back of a Buffalo / humvee countless times. While coming back from midtour leave, some dumbass PFC chucked it, in the hard case, right off the back of a five ton. It should have been trashed from the impact. Yet it survived. The keys started coming off in 2007 and the CD drive shit the bed halfway through the deployment, but that thing kept me sane during my last desert adventure by providing MS Word, thousands of .MP3s, and a some SPC's porn stash.

Sputnik II has been retired to a life of luxury (neglect) atop my tall bookcase. It was replaced by Sputnik III last year.
