Excuse after excuse, it sounds like the person who refuses to buy a new car because the old one only has 250,000 miles on it.
What's wrong with that?
I think it all depends on what the car (or the computer) is used for. My father kept an old beat up car, torn seats, very high mileage, most things not working on it (e.g., windows, wipers, horn, lights, locks, some doors) because he used it solely to travel thru plowed dirt and rocky forest roads on his farms. Why waste a new car for this purpose if the service the old car was used for was likely to scratch the exterior, break a window, or tear up the oil pan?
This endless thread about old versus new computers with accessories assumes a healthy business with productivity being a goal. A few people not in this situation might find an old computer makes sense.
