Not wanting to piss on your fire but:

 16:58:20 up 116 days,  8:16,  4 users,  load average: 0.12, 0.03, 0.01
 16:55:10 up 346 days, 15:13,  2 users,  load average: 1.22, 1.13, 1.04
 16:55:40 up 126 days,  5:26,  1 user,  load average: 0.25, 0.26, 0.26

And I know one person on the list has just hit 500 days uptime.

My desktop is at:

 16:56:07 up 24 days, 22:38, 13 users,  load average: 1.37, 1.54, 1.65

But thats cos I accidentally hit the wrong lead and discovered that you
can't hot swap an agp graphics card :p

Its a 700Mhz Athlon and currently runs nicely with mozilla (thats
original mozilla, with over 30 tabs, openoffice (8 documents open),
xmms, 17 terminals, the gimp (with 3 67 meg photos open), a few instances
of xpdf, etc... and still has enough oomph to decode a divx or dvd without
any major issues.

Admittedly I use the ultimate in seriously light weight window manglers,
evilwm.

Oh, and its worth noting, this machine was built last century.

Think about such things before you do an upgrade, do you *really* need
the latest and greatest fastest box on your desk ?
