Computers are pretty good these days. The programs are pretty competent. I can see folks just sitting awhile, for years before moving to do something.
Indeed they just miss entire cycles.
For example, I missed Vista, and probably will miss W7. My desktop is 14 years old. I am looking into "Chromebooks."
Apple, I only fool with for friends or relatives.

Is there some hot expensive technology out that I can't resist? Nope. (I just bought a used $36 Droid 1 for use as a tablet.)

I am becoming a "bottom feeder."
This is basically where I am at. I have had about 7 pc's. The one before I got this one 2 years ago was about 10 years old, it ran Windows XP had MS Office 97 on it. When I got this one with Windows 7 I had to purchase a new MS office since 97 wouldn't load, but at least I didn't have to pay $400.00 bucks for it. the Student Home edition only cost about $50.00. It gets the job done.

I will keep this until it starts to give out which if I'm lucky will be 10 years from now.

Yes these companies do everything they can to make you upgrade often, but only if you let them. I don't give a rats ass what they want, I only care about what I need and want and if it's not broke it's not going anywhere. My upgrades happen on MY timetable not anyone elses!
