People get attached to their machines. It's like a car.

Haven't ever seen that myself ever, most people don't care, they just don't want to replace the machine if it still works if that counts, but nobody is using a classic all original parts device or seeks a classic HDD for their old computer. If you present them with a better one though, I bet most would be jumping for joy, but you have to make sure its "better" to them.

Some older machines just have a "look" that is different than anything made today due to a different design language being used.
