I agree. I probably would've disagreed 15 years ago - 2001 hardware would've felt archaic by 2010.

Hardware made 10 years ago is, for the average person, likely good enough to get them through another decade, if the accompanying software was kept lean. But that kinda thinking doesn't help bank accounts swell, does it..
