Sometimes that's a good thing!
Up until the end of last year, I was still using my PowerBook 160 for
mobile work. It was a seven year old PowerBook running at a whopping 25 Mhz
and still in heavy use. I could run Claris Works, Quark XPress and AOL 2.7
all at the same time and leave them running (put the PowerBook to sleep) for
weeks.
Never had to worry about an upgrade, or chasing after the latest modem
extension, or why this won't work with that. It was nice to just have
soemthing that just sat there and did what I needed it to.
But it was slow compared to my G3 desktop so I upgraded. Now I got a G3
Series 98 PowerBook and it is my office machine. And I upgrade this, run and
chase after that....
