Steadily though at times sluggishly going along on my (pretty much exactly) today 14 years old Laptop with HDD ... I dread the next few years ... almost everyone (developers/users) will take the luxury of fast seek and generally fast disk IO of SSDs for granted ... and this lack of incentive for strict IO optimisation will lead to medium to big everyday applications such as office suites, web browsers and others becoming pretty much unusable (on my machine). Paired with ever increasing RAM usage it'll make my machine obsolete. On the other hand I'm thankful for the selection of quite efficient applications that still allow me to do most things even with the luxury of a GUI .. to another 14 ^^
