I've decided to put-off a new PC *again* on my basement PC (which is
the one that I use most often, at home).  The old 3.0GHz Wolfdale C2D
is going to have to last, until the 10mm Intel CPU's arrive, dammit!

It's really not that I'm so cheap, it's that I don't want the dumb
chips they are selling now.  14mm has hung-on too long, and I think
that the security fixes are half-assed.  I don't like AMD and their
high core-count approach, either.  I've always been an Intel guy.

I think the old PC will make it another year.  The power supply was
replaced once, and the HD has been replaced with an SSD, and those are
the most likely things to fail.  And, really, the performance of this
~10 year-old machine is still plenty good, for general computing and
farting-around on the Internet.
