I still have businesses that are entirely run off of an Apple IIc.  *sigh*
and as long as it works, they don't want to change.  They keep extra IIcs in
a closet which they buy on Ebay just in case something goes wrong with the
one they have.

And I've still got a IIGS, a TRS-80, and a Commodore 64 in storage closet.
*laugh* how tech has changed.  Out in my shed I've got a 1984 Compaq
Portable Computer that is the size of a very large suitecase.
