I don't exclusively use old hardware. I own and regularly use a wide variety of hardware.

Kudos for that post! Exactly my way of thinking and working. My laptop isn't 11 years old since my last one died in 2014 but I specifically bought a slow Pentium as a replacement. On the up side I still get 6 hours of battery life today.

My former boss always said that all devs worldwide should get the fastest machine possible for development but should be forced to use their own software on a 386. :-)

I appreciate this thinking, and have always thought that web developers should be forced to test with lynx on 9600baud dialup. But I'm just a wee bit sadistic when it comes to web developers.
