TV: Last update to accept DTV broadcasts. Previous 10 years old
e-reader: Passed on the original 3 year old one, using the Spare PEz
Mobile: recently replaced 4 year old with a broken antenna/weak battery


Most get replaced because they finally stop working and the repair would be half the price of a new system with a fresh life expectancy.

Longevity is important to me.
