Thanks for sharing, but consider keeping the old stuff a little longer than you expected.

An old business PC running Windows XP crashed two weeks ago, and I learned that new PCs (running Windows Vista) are incompatible with one of our key applications. I pulled a mothballed XP machine out of a closet and put it back to work. I sure am glad that I didn't recycle it!
