    My dad’s friend was still running a 486 until last year. It did his spreadsheet.

      generally computers won’t stop doing things they were already capable of doing. tons of machines and businesses may rely on older hardware and software to complete specific tasks.

      but yeah, a 486 is pretty past its prime, and the task could have been accomplished on something far more modern.
