However, there are a ton of older systems out there.
Perhaps out of maintenance, perhaps out of warranty, and yet still running 
and their owners are happy.  I remember in the mid 90s finding an original 
Reality still running and thinking ... Wow.
   As in, Wow this company is cheap-ass.
   I'm sure even today, there are systems still out there, that their owners 
haven't upgraded in two decades :)
