Amen. The company bought me a laptop in 2000. By the end of 2004 it had to be replaced, because it was too dog slow to run modern software.

The only computers bought in Y2K that are still in use are doing work as doorstops.

Not exactly.

Old machines sometimes run on past their apparent obsolesence as the cost of replacing them is generally much greater then the cost of the machine. In other words 'If it ain't broke...'

But there are few machines left running from Y2K. (except in Sun shops, where the machines are no faster then they were in Y2K).
