    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    I think the 3.5" floppy drive I have is nigh on 15 years old now. It's probably the last remaining part of a computer that started off as a 386SX16 with 2MB RAM and a 40MB HDD and has ended up as a X2 4800+ with 4GB RAM and a 400GB HDD.
    Is your computer like Trigger’s broom in Only Fools and Horses?

    He claimed his broom was 20 years old, conveniently ignoring the fact that it had had 7 new handles and 12 new broom heads in that time.
