puters go obsolete when your video card can't handle the latest rage. I need more RAM to handle XP after using W2K for 7 years but I don't junk my boxes because unless you're a gamer or doing renders you're fine with old stuff.

Astrolab.
A historical astronomical instrument used by classical astronomers, navigators, and astrologers. Its many uses included locating and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars; determining local time given local latitude and vice-versa; surveying; and triangulation.
There is often confusion between the astrolabe and the mariner's astrolabe. While the astrolabe could be useful for determining latitude on land, it was an awkward instrument for use on the heaving deck of a ship or in wind. The mariner's astrolabe was developed to address these issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrolab

A UNIVAC computer of the U.S. Census Bureau demonstrated for CBS reporter Walter Cronkite.

Never gotten a virus on any version of Windows.
Never used anti-virus either.

I think lots of people the world over are just doing it wrong.
