Good times. Back then, I think each generation was so much more powerful 
that a lot more usable stuff was tossed by companies.

Going from a 286 to a 386, or 386 to 486? Amazing.

Going from a Core 2 duo to an i5? Not so much.

If it weren't for the speed boost with SSDs, a lot of companies would keep 
their hardware around for much longer and not upgrade to newer systems. The 
industry had better come up with another speed bump in a couple of years' 
time, or going from an i9 to i11 will be a tough choice for companies when 
enough is good enough.
