As much as Tony is a hardware guy, I'm a software guy on the other end
of the spectrum. And yet I wholeheartedly agree with this, to the point
where pretty much all of my hobbyist programming is done on old iron.
It's not enough that I use my old machines; I have to make them jump
through new hoops :-)
