No, no, no, no, no!  I don't want to have to buy another copy of all of
the peripherals that I already own!  I've paid for them once, that is
enough.  I want to be able to use my existing peripherals with my new CPU
-- that's called upgrading, and it's what most of us existing computer
users want to be able to do.

If I have to buy all brand new peripherals as well as a new CPU, I might
as well do what 90% of all other computer users do and buy into the Wintel
line.  At least that way I'll have plenty of choices when it comes time to
upgrade again.
