I replace things when they break or when I want to do something that
requires something newer.

I can't remember when I bought it, but Windows XP SP1 was the latest
thing out at the time.  I replaced the case fan when I couldn't stand
the sqeak, and while the side was off I added a second hard drive, but
otherwise it soldiers on.

I didn't watch it for 4 hours either.  It looked like it was taking a
while so I had lunch and went shopping.  When I got back, Quickpar
told me it had run for 4 hours 6 minutes.
