If you can't be bothered to upgrade your hardware, why are you bothering to 
upgrade your software?  

Just load a version of Linux that in software quality matches the hardware 
quality of your old equipment and enjoy it.

You would have plenty of sympathy from us if your hardware worked fine but the 
software 'expired' and decided to stop working forcing you to upgrade and move 
on but that's not the case.
