Need? Every year? I plan on keeping my kindle for a long time, and if I don't I will give it to friends/family or a charity.
Before I left the States I was using 3 PC's on my home network, one was at least 7 years old and was used as a file server/backup alongside my main PC with a KVM switch. The other one was for network gaming and at least three years old. Good enough for Fallout Tactics and some Diablo sessions with a mate every now and then. You can always find a use for old tech...
