Breaking: People Use Old Computers! November 19, 2005
Read more PC
I’ve had my fair share of tech support jobs in the past and I have seen some damn old computers that people want be able to run Doom III on, but this takes the cake. A Mac SE showed up at an Apple store with a customer deciding it was maybe time to upgrade. He had been using the machine since its release back in 1988 or so to do banking. This machine has 1MB of ram and an 8MHz processor. It obviously got the job done for over 15 years, so why upgrade?

Funny. I have an old Color Classic that serves as my Caller ID, etc., using a 1992 vintage YoYo device. I also have a 128K, SE and SE 30, but they just sit on a shelf. These devices often do the job! I could go out and buy that USB PhoneValet and put it on my G5 but all it does, that the 1992 YoYo doesn't, is record the conversation. No big deal to me.
