Really? Personally I like my older machines much better. The ones from
the 2006/7 era with dual cores are my favorites. They can run XP, Vista,
7, and 8 just fine. Newer machines can't run all of those versions. Plus
it is harder and harder to get 32 bit Windows in newer machines. They
all seem to want to push the 64 bit versions. Those 64 bit versions are
worthless to me, since all of my software is either 16 or 32 bit.

Heck this machine is less than 2 years old and I rather use my older
machines myself. These newer machines can't even play and record video
as well as my XP machines can. And quite frankly, these newer Windows
versions are not very special either. As I could be running XP just as
well and in some cases better off. :-)

I run almost ALL older software. Some is still Dos or Win3.x based,
most is for Win9x. I only had one dos prograsm thast refused to work in
Win2000, but it does work in XP.....

I own a computer to USE IT, not to keep upgrading it, and have to keep
relearning the software. I still prefer my old Win98 setup, and use
that most of the time. It does everything I need, except for web
browsing. There are no browsers that work right in 98 anymore. I blame
that HTML5 and the overuse of scripts for that problem....
