Home or office? If office, you are probably the exception, but not really too
much higher than average. I would say the average is about every 3 years.
Office. I *can* change my equipment on demand (since I'm QIP - Quite Important Person
<vbg>), but I don't. No need.
'Scheduled lifetime' for PC's is also a little bit more than 3 years. But mainframe
is changed definitely more frequently. <g>
BTW: in autumn '98 we got first computer. PC 166MHz Pentium MMX. 16MB of RAM. This computer is still in use in our operations room. 5 3270 sessions are active on it.
BTW2: 2-3 years ago I disposed my 286 'for bridge' (card game) computer. Power supply failed. I had no will to find L-shaped P/S spare. Oh, I used is occassionally to copy 1.2MB 5.25" diskettes for older 3174s. The newer has 2.4MB drives and I couldn't use it. Even connected 2.4MB drive to a PC, but I was able to run it in 1.2MB mode only.
