Hi!... for years many people had upgrade old machines; (Even Me) and my
advice (and about a hundred more people) is do not do it!!!

I was in love of my old machines now all of them are dumped in the back yard
its better to invest your money in a refurbish machine and stay
technologically ahead not to invest in a machine that you are going to trow
awy next year...

Best regards...     Alberto de León
