LOL. I'm the complete opposite. I seem to end up upgrading my computer every 2 
or 3 years. I wouldn't be able to stand being on an older computer that long. 
I'm constantly annoyed by how slow my computer is no matter how new it is. Of 
course, I do tend to stress my machine quite a lot by having a ton of stuff 
open all the time and doing CPU-intensive stuff like transcoding video, and how 
you use your computer is a definite factor in how much value there is in 
upgrading.
