That's evil bullshit! If we simply use our own computers for a very long period of time, instead to updating the hardware for no valid reason, then something like this wouldn't happen: http://andrewmcconnell.photoshelter.com/gallery/G0000oLuiBLHIsmM There's actually no need to refurbish, simply using computers as long as possible is required. The problem already is, that even my old 64 bit CPU does not support SSE3. I guess my hardware is even not 10 years old and can't be used with some Linux software I need, because it requires SSE3, even while there actually wouldn't be the need for it, SSE2 would do the job, too. It's just politic, greed that rules. It has nothing to do with such idiotic excuses. Shame on You!
