Oh you'll be surprised how many old PC's are still out there. Donated PC's for the underprivileged etc.

In a lot of countries, the import duties on hardware often exceed the cost of the hardware by a considerable margin, Lot of old stuff out there that can't handle the newer OS's.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

One of my clients still has WIndows 3.11 installed on a machine. He has an old 16 bit app which according to him "... just a great job and is all he needs...".. Its too expensive to buy the new version, so he is perfectly happy using Windows 3.11..
