I'm with you.
That is the sole reason I have to keep multiple systems up and running.
Up to three WinXP32 laptops for yesterday's irreplaceable hardware, drivers, formats and tasks,
up to two Win7U64 machines for more recent jobs.
One fine day each will have its purpose, at least to have a fallback system at hand.
Right from the start it wasn't my intention to have a farm like that,
but the wo-o-ords got in the way ♩♪♪♫♫♬♬("There is no language in our lungs", XTC)...
Forgot one last tip, maybe not applicable only for FritzBox users: I had an old (and perfectly working)
FritzBox! hardware-based firewall active which would only allow approved-by-me-applications in and out,
and alas: I had to finally disarm that too...
