One can spend a fortune "upgrading" to marginally better hardware with relatively little performance improvement. Since there is always a newer and better computer to buy, the question is how much better does it have to be to justify buying it. Over the years, I've developed a philosophy on upgrades. A day doesn't go by without Windows finding some way to irritate me. If they offered me a Mac (fat chance), I'd take it in a heartbeat. Although I've never personally owned a DOS/Wintel machine and probably won't ever, I do use Wintel stuff at work, but only because I don't have a choice. Since then I've gone through Z-80's, 8086's, and the whole variety of Motorola processors in a bunch of Macintosh's.

The LSI-11 computer was fine for UCSD Pascal software development and it made me a bunch of money. At this time an "advanced" personal computer was an S-100 box with some 8 bit processor in it. My very first computer was a 16 bit LSI-11 with a 10 meg hard disk and a romping 60 kB of RAM. I've been buying and upgrading personal computers since 1979.
It's mid-2005 and I thinking about my next computer. The timeline may seem a bit jumpy in places but new information was added in the place that it seemed most appropriate for cohesive story. Since it was originally written, it has been edited and updated many times to keep it current. Note: This page is a running commentary on my experiences and expectations about computer upgrades.
