   Why exactly haven't you bought a new one? Is it because you're so cheap you can't spend 80 dollars on a vastly nicer looking full HD one, or is it because you're hopelessly unable to detach from your outdated possessions like a great depression era scrapper?

   I also use an old IBM ThinkCentre, which I've been running for about 15 years.

    Nope, just calculated, and it's exactly 31 years old. Got it in 1988.
