Yes, you would have to upgrade, but then, as a developer you should have enough hardware to run and test what you plan to develop, and be able to play with newer technologies (I know it is not always easy to budget for new hardware and harder yet, to justify it to your wife {bg}).

Ah, well, it seems that the saying is more universal than I thought. I thought it was a German saying; in German, it goes: "Du hast den Nagel auf den Kopf geschlagen" (you hit the nail on the head).
It is probably difficult to figure out whether the Dutch copied this saying from the Germans, the Germans from the Dutch, or both from some other source.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
