  We've got a 7 year old server that's still doing print services.
Gonna have to migrate that when we get off Win 2000 in a couple
months.

  We've got a couple desktops that are about 10 years old.  XP Pro
running with 384 MB RAM on a 700 MHz CPU.  Real speed demons, they
are.  They're on the factory floor, and don't do much (which is good,
because they can't do much!).

  We've got a couple ancient 486 machines that are acting as what
would be called "thin clients" these days.  They're so old nobody
knows how old they are.  As they die off they're replaced with more
modern solutions.

  We don't replace things just because Dell or Microsoft says they're
old.  If they're doing the job, there's no ROI in replacing them.
