I have always said these older machines are still perfectly usable for most people, there is no point in spending hundreds on a new machine when an older one will do the exact same jobs. There of course comes a point when you need to upgrade but I always went for something a bit behind until recently when I forked out for a new laptop. I must say it has improved my speeds but for simply browsing I could still be perfectly happy with my old one. Linux does help a lot too! Its good to see these older machines still in use rather than simply being dumped.
