Yeah, I agree with Joe Zeff here. The whole thing reads as weird to me from what Todd has said.
Look, computers are computers. There is a limit to their reliability as they age. I've had numerous clients who computers have straight up died even though they were acting fine prior, and all I've said to them is "I told you to replace it sooner."
Seriously, if he's that cheap, does he pay you enough to keep his ancient system working or are you just keeping him as a client out of habit. Remember, if you drop him, it's highly unlikely that he'll find anybody else willing to put up with his conditions so you've got that as leverage to get him to be sensible.
I don't know, it's all subjective and up to your interpretation but 11 years is definitely pushing it.
Personally, I'm worried about that being connected to the internet at this point in time; and if I were Todd in this situation, I'd personally put my foot down now. Just my two cents.
