I said "what isn't broken". The development toolchain has lots of
broken bits. ;-)

They buy PC's from refurbished shops to save costs. So they are
spec'ed like they were in the 90's - often with 64 or 128MB RAM. You
will fall on your back if you see some of these PC's. I brings back
fond memories from years back!!

We never make assumptions with our clients. We constantly ask them
what they have, and try and nudge them to upgrading a few systems per
year. We can't even assume they all have DVD drives, so we still need
to ship application updates on CD's instead.

Like I said, they don't consider their systems out of date, because
they still work fine for their needs.
