D. > I am writing this on a six-year-old Dell computer that was state-of-the-art, all-the-bells-and-whistles when I bought it, max chip, max speed, max hard-drive capacity, max memory. Last fall I considered buying all-new hardware and consulted with a friend who is I.T. consultant to several major New York City financial institutions. He assessed my needs (as a lawyer using this machine in my practice) and my equipment and suggested an updated operating system and software but said my old Dell, that has given me zero problems during all this time, is more than sufficient for my needs. And since it has never failed, it should also prove trouble-free well into the future, something that cannot always be said of the very best, most expensive new hardware.
