My machine is now some 5 years old is a 1.7 Ghz but does all I need fro
it including some complex maths and radio coverage prediction stuff. The
only thing that might push me to a new machine is newer ones seem to be
very quiet nowadays...



yes. I don't expect to upgrade any time soon either.

But get that lot backed up now. 5 years is about MTBF on most disk drives.



What!, As long as that;?...
