[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 3313282, member: 115"] That I can't speak to... I only asked about software. I'm not sure they would have had that information anyway. I've found (and maybe this sounds dumb because everyone knew it all around) that between people who know (what I would consider) a lot about computers, and people who know very little about computers, there's a very large third group who know about computers, but don't really care about them. They tend to treat them as appliances... they understand the concept that newer is better, but they wouldn't understand why. As long is it gets the job done, who cares if it's seven years old or seven months? It's like a washer and dryer, or a microwave, or a stove in that way. I say this because I have the feeling had I asked that question, they wouldn't have really understood. As long as they worked, who cares why? [/QUOTE]
