Though, when you're faced with having to throw away a few thousand
dollars of computing hardware (whether that be one expensive computer,
or several moderate priced computers), you look long and hard about
whether you waste money on something new, that's going to be just as
short-lived by the next paradigm change, or you look for something
that's more efficient to run on your current hardware.  Or, you keep
running out-of-date installations.

Sure, I accept pushing the envelope for things that need to be gee whiz
(games, 3D CAD, and whatnot), but not for the desktop behind ordinary
software.
