Yeah, I love that "my computer is out of date" argument. It's not like some magic date is going to come along and the computer will melt. And contrary to what it may seem to the yoinks who buy into the retail 'experts', the computer doesn't creep to a halt (excepting software bloat and download-ware, of course) over time. All things being equal, computers run just as fast 10 years old as the day they were built. It's only when you load it up with software and try to run software beyond the machine limits do they 'slow down' with use.
