I'm rapidly moving to the opinion that if you want a machine to do work 
on then the less power it has the better - less distractions. If it does 
what you NEED and wont run flash or large javascript web pages then you 
cant waste your life watching not very funny xmas videos people have 
sent you!
Nostalgia aint what it used to be
