Hello Lewis:

I think you mean "replace" rather than "upgrade."  :->

The problem is that the perversion of the cost
structure in both national and international
commerce distorts the value of repairing versus
replacing.  But, he/she who ignores the monetary
cost is bound to be unable to compete.  So, the
only realistic way for most of us is to leave a
trail of electronic units and parts behind us,
although I realize that you certainly don't waste
resources compared to the WinTel model.

HTDATM,
