QUICK, LETS DERAIL ANOTHER THREAD BY BITCHING ABOUT THE X1000!
I know several people that use older PCs. Not all because they can't afford a newer one. They just find that the computer they have does what they want.
My uncle has an almost 10-12 year old laptop running Windows 2000. He just needs to surf the web and email. Up til last year, my mother had an 8 year old laptop. If you don't play the latest graphics demanding games or view video, you don't need anything made in the last 4 or 5 years. Plenty of people out there are still happliy chugging along on 1.x Ghz computers. Sometimes even less than that. For alot of people, "if it still does what I want, why upgrade. It works! "
Oh, I've also seen a few and heard of people around here that use even older computers.
A buddy of mine is still running windows 2000. His PC is pretty new, but other than Wesnoth and basic web browsing he doesn't do much on it, so he never felt a need to upgrade.
