You illustrate the point exactly. I still work with some machines that run Solaris 1.1.1 even. My job is not to tell the customer that their versions are not the newest. It is to fix the problem and get them running again.
Don't see the need a wireless fridge or microwave either.
a microwave?? or a web enabled microwave?
I find lots of uses from my microwave. a web connected fridge? umm no.
