Firstly, you deserve a medal for keeping a PC alive and running for 10 years. that's a fair effort. I think my best effort is about 3 years.

I didn't do much to keep it alive.

The laptop I'm writing this on was bought in 2002.

It works perfectly well, has never had a malware attack. It's even powerpc so the majority of browsers don't cater for it but it does me well enough... as long as I stay in 2002.

If you want to extend the life of an old computer something like Lubuntu or even Puppy should keep it going for a while.
