Most of mine are running up to 6 years before buying the latest technology. If there are too many programs accumulating that I don't regularly use, they are removed and stored on a CD or DVD backup in a collection. That way if I want them in the future they will be available. It is great when you can get more life than the average computer user.

How true David...great article! I still run several PC's with Win 95 / 98 and Win 2K for various jobs at my home-office. Being a tech-freak however I must confess to a slight thrill of anticipation everytime MS announce a new OS as I can't wait to see the knock on effect for all that new hardware! My wife coined the phrase "geek-aholic" to label my obsession! Happy New Year to you, your family, Rich and all the PC Mech Edu readers! Heh Heh! How true David…great article!
