Maybe because many of us have better uses for $500 than replacing hardware
that is more than acceptable for everything else we do with it? I for one
will be in that position for at least another five years until my youngest
child has finished college. In the meantime, I have half a dozen 486/33's
and a 486/100 that can handle all of the usual chores. It would be nice
to be able to at least learn Java using the same hardware.
