Do people have to be constantly productive all day every day? Maybe someone just has some old games they want to play, and they want a more modern shell to do it with.
But if productivity is the only thing you recognize, I recall reading that George R.R. Martin uses an incredibly old PC to write on. I think it was DOS or maybe Windows 3.1.

- AtlasBarfed 4y agoI remember stories of famous authors using one-off word processor devices (imagine: old LCD that can only show about 5 lines of text, and the device can hold a megabyte of crap in some sort of flash or something similar) from back in the day. Basically the minimal step up of computerization from the typewriter. What else does a writer really need?
