thinking about how foreign the concept of an "upgrade cycle" is to me. i use devices until one of the following happens:

  1. i outgrow their capacity
  2. they break and i cannot repair them any more
  3. it is impossible to get software/firmware updates that work with it... plus a few years usually

(mostly a mix of 2 and 3 depending on the device)
