I could probably afford to save for a new desktop, it's just really hard
to justify all that money (for a decent one, otherwise what's the
point?) when I can still do almost everything I normally do on my old
one. So I put it off year after year, and tell myself I'll act when my
hand is forced by hardware failure or something else serious.

I wouldn't have expected my mid-2007 iMac to remain useful for so long.
Or simply to last so long, given it runs rather hot.

Am I complaining about my computer not dying? :-D
