K compliant not mentioning if some of the older equipment is or isn't. That some companies don't reasure you that your old computer may or maynot be adiquit for your needs. People have this programed notion that they need the fastest machine possible because technology changes so much that the more that they spend the longer the machine will last. I have an Apple IIc that still works like the first day it was made and I still occationally play Carman Sandiago. Oviously I will not be surfing the web or rendering 3D objects with it which is why we have such powerful machines now.
Peoples needs change.
Eventually the chips will be developed so fast that new today will be outdated and obsolite by the end of the first month of introduction. The high end user of today will be the average user of tomorrow. I may not be creating 3D ants but, if my computer can do it 20x or 100x faster and easier in a few months or years why the hell not after all computers were made to make our lives easier and nowadays a lot more fun.
