I was cruising through TeamSugar's Technology and Gadgets channel [1] this weekend and I happened upon nitronat's [2] post about her parent's computer and the never-ending Mac or PC debate [3].

nitronat wondered how many years should a computer last you, because her parents have had their HP desktop for about three years.

While I probably upgrade more often than most people, I think the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule applies when it comes to buying a new computer, especially if you only use it sparingly. Any thoughts?
