I just finished replacing 4 old PCs today.

The old machines:

   AMD K6-II, 500 MHz
   128 MB RAM
   S3 Trio3D/2X graphics
   Windoze NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a

The replacement machines:

   AMD Athlon X2 4000+, 2.11 GHz
   1,024 MB RAM
   nVidia GeForce 6100 (I'm not kidding!)
   Windoze XP Service Pack 2

And where all the users delighted? No. Obviously, no. One person 
remarked that logging in to some web app is still slow as hell. (Gee, 
could that be because we have a 2 mbit/sec Internet link shared between 
50 PCs and no web proxy?) Another person complained that they wanted 
newer monitors. And somebody else complained about how long it took to 
log in. (This is likely to be related to their roaming profile. It is in 
excess of 700 MB in size, after all...)

I spend years trying to get my hands on the money to upgrade a tiny 
handful of PCs, and this is the thanks I get. I expected as much...
