    If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it. :-)

    I bought my old biege G3 PowerMac brand new and used it for about 20
    years before it finally broke and had to be replaced. Most of that time
    I also used a dial-up internet connection.

    Too many people waste far too much money continually upgrading their
    gadgets for no real reason other than having the latest new toy to play
    with. The greedy tech companies also enforce this stupidity byt
    releasing a new model every year with a minor tweak and discontinuing
    support for still perfectly usable older devices. :-\

    100% agree. Built-in obsolescence is a cancer that destroys good tech.
