   Eventually my current system will be too old to keep up with the newer   
   apps.   
   I had trouble running the latest version of FireFox so I went back to an   
   earlier release.   
   I think the problem was caused by my older setup.   
      
   When I can no longer access web sites due to my browser version being no   
   longer supported then I will have to upgrade the OS in order to use the   
   latest FireFox.   
      
   I did not upgrade to the latest version of my distro because some apps   
   were discontinued and are only available on the older version. For   
   example, ClipIt was dropped and is only available on the earlier release.
