Three years? Before I had two kids to support a three year replacement cycle was
more than reasonable. Now, the fastest Linux server in my basement is six years
old and still working fine. Even my laptop is closing in on 3.5 years and I
won't be replacing it anytime soon.

Within the next year, my work will be throwing machines away that a superior to
the hardware I'm running at home. I feel a dumpster dive coming on.
