I still remember back when the OS was partially shipped in ROM.
You don't turn an Amiga 500 into a 600 by upgrading the OS.

the 500 and 600 have different chipsets. The 600 has more expansion options than the 500.
Kickstart is in ROM you need 1.3 to play the old Amiga games, and 3.1 for the AmigaOS 3.X stuff.

Exactly, because the whole package was the experience, not just some bits shipped in on a floppy.

Just checked and I've been using my CPU for 6 years, and have no immediate need to upgrade

Over 10 years here (first-generation i7) - and indeed the hardware is more than fast enough for what I need.
Then again, I've stayed away from Windows 10 too.
Full-time Linux use is looking more and more pleasing...
That's 7 years only, a lot of perfectly usable computers will be get rid of for no reason other than mild security benefit. Seems like they want to go in mobile direction forcing people to buy new hardware every 4 years.
