Obsolete?
After reading this post on Gizmodo, I can’t help but think of Minimal Mac. Cormac McCarthy has made his name writing books and plays, yet every single one of his works has been typed up on one trusty, truly old-school typewriter. With minimal maintenance, he found no need to upgrade to a modern computer. He estimates to have written over 5 million words on the typewriter, and is now selling to buy another.
Every year Apple announce new Macs, and every year people rush out to snap them up. But can your old Mac do the job just as well?

This is a good point and one that I have been trying to get across here for some time. The best tool is not the one that is newest, fastest, etc. The best tool is the one that works. For some people, that might just happen to be the new fast thing. For a large number of others, that is what they have right now.
