However again tom, you say "a newer and better computer"
Suppose say winamp's next version won't work on xp, ---- well is it's next
version any better than the previous one? Heck, I don't have the latest
version of winamp now, mostly because what I do with winamp is quite okay
anyway, indeed winamp only usually gets upgraded when I can be bothered.
This is basically the problem with this philoosophy of "you must have the
latest upgrade" my question is "well why?"
I still own a snes, it still works, I still play games on it. Yes, there are
plenty of other consoles with far better hardware and software, but none of
them have as many playable games for me so why should I upgrade?
yes, in a few years I might be forced to upgrade if my computer breaks, but
if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a new machine, and learn a new
interface I want some actual return on my investment.
This is indeed why I waited myself back in 2008, in the hope that developers
would make it worth my while to upgrade, but as yet nobody has, heck, if my
computer died I'd be very tempted to get another xp machine just because I
just don't see any bennifit in all the sshenanigans with a new os, all it
would mean is losing outlook express, getting an inconvenient interface, and
bad compatibility with several programs.
I freely admit this situation may change, indeed I'd be very happy if it did
and someone used these supposedly wondrous new features to create better
games and software, but that just plane hasn't happened.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
