The antithesis to this is that everyone should endeavor to have the latest hardware, as well as the lastest software versions, which often requires newish hardware. A requirement for newish hardware is a an ecologically bankrupt position to take. Our landfills have been filling up much too fast for much too long. Better to help old hardware stay out of landfills as long as possible by any *reasonable* means. To me reasonable means ensuring a site is usable without Flash, JS, images capability, or a competent modern browser. If you're not up to speed on the current state of the ecology, I recommend watching this movie: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0950758/ -- "He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."
