But I'm not really in a position to toss pebbles; I only retired my Ice Cream Sandwich phone this spring, my laptop is a 3 year-old i5, and I use a Fedora 16 system as a key workstation. And since I'm no good at maintaining heavy machinery, I use duct tape rather than baling wire. No XP, though, and I have at least used W8.1 in the lab.
