My boss was recently telling me about a person who contacted him asking why we don’t do beta testing on things that are compatible with her computer. She is using a Windows 95 machine. I’m guessing that you wouldn’t want to touch that either.
Actually, I completely agree with you on this matter. I hate old technology. Once I move on to new technology, I can’t go back. When we moved to Syracuse, DSL wasn’t available and we didn’t want to pay for Comcast broadband. Our dial-up got blazing speeds of 22k. On a good day. Most of the time it was around 15k because we are so far out in the boonies. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got Comcast. After a few months, my wife suggested going back to dial-up to cut our monthly expenses. I couldn’t do it. Going from broadband to slow dial-up would have killed me. I’m glad that I was able to talk her out of it.
