   When we eventually have enforced self-driving cars, there will be an   
   automatic driving mode not called "sport", but "take me seemingly to an   
   inch of my life". Outwardly, it will be driving at 25 miles an hour but   
   you will be bricking yourself....   
      
   I'm about to ditch a boat load of Windows-XP/7 hardware that is   
   currently too modern (Core2Duo) to be called retro.   
      
   * Will it ever be be retro in future, and worth hanging onto?   
      
   * Will there be future refuseniks wanting hardware without the taint of AI?
