I bought a desktop PC back in 2001 that I used daily until early 2010. In those 9 years, I'd bought 5 other systems (laptops & desktops). I used the old system daily because it had all my "stuff" on it, it never felt slow for 90% of the work I was doing, and I had keyboard/mouse sharing with a newer system for the other 10%. I'm still amazed I used it for so long.
