Innovate all you wish. Some people will need the innovation and flock to it like flies to shlt. Most others, however, will be perfectly satisfied with the "old" technology because it works perfectly well for them and they don't need to spend the time and money on equipment and software that they cannot use.

Unfortunately, you fail to see the benefits of older systems to most folks and instantly recommend new hardware to cure any and all ills. You made a blanket statement that 2GB is insufficient to run Chrome and you were dead wrong. The problem was not the 2GB, it was the Chrome browser itself. Pick a different browser and the problem disappears. You failed to even consider this possibility.

Didn't you drive an older SD and your father also drives an older SD? Why change your philosophy that "new" is better when it comes to vehicles? You're so disingenuous that you'll recommend brand new IT hardware at the drop of the hat but won't consider a brand new automobile for exactly the same reasons. This is hypocritical beyond the pale.
