That's the spirit!

Had my Saff for 12 years, seems the longer you have it, the more you get hooked!

18 years for me too!

I have a Sapphire though ;-( So glad I resisted the temptation to boy it up and add all the crap to it in the 90's. It just got a little faster!

Who knows where will be with them in 18 years time!?
