I agree ... I currently go through several such machines for customers
.. I am getting more experienced as I do the same tricky steps again and
again but my recommendation now is to get their boxes upgraded at least
once a year. Like the annual check for your car or something ...
I even consider to recommend them a quarterly review done by me and a
following offer to do the important/useful/easy/existing upgrades.
(this is from the view of a one-man-IT-consulter having X customers with
servers out there. I don't upgrade all around for free all the time)
