Well, frugal and familiar isn't necessarily bad. Have fun with it. But what is so wrong with spending some of our money to get something new to enjoy, rather than just watching the money collecting dust?

And antique cars are real money pits, by the way, unless you can repair them and make your own parts. Sure, I would love to have one of those 1959 Benz gullwings! But I won't spend 500 grand on one. Unlike computers, old cars cost a lot more than new ones!
My point is - I'd rather spend my time using a tool, rather than spending time (and money) learning to use a new tool over and over. My tool may be obsolete, but if it does the job, and I'm used to using it, I get more "work" done by using the old tool.

The latest "shiny" means nothing to me....I see no have-to-have features for me with the new OSes...
