  I've talked to several friends who work in IT, and they told me that
as long as I'm careful about what websites I visit, and keep my
anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewalls up to date, there's no rush on
upgrading until I can afford it (which is likely NEVER). And, with
perfectly good working hardware and software, WHY should I upgrade??

  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
