We have around sixty ~400MHz desktops which are increasingly showing their age.
How about taking the viewpoint that the operating system is organic in complexity, which over time
would result in less efficient performance.
The human analogy would be, the physical
capability of youth compared to the slow down that
occurs to most with old age, that don't maintain
themselves.
One possible solution would then be, to just
reinstall everything. I'd recommend doing this
for the worst performing machine as a test.
Also, just because a user has a piece of software
installed right now, it doesn't mean they still
use it / need it. This would be a useful task,
even if you go with new machines.
I try to read by just moving my eyes, since it's supposed to be faster and takes less effort. How about if they came out with a reflective contact lens, then you really wouldn't have to move.

This pen is digital only, but it does already communicate via bluetooth.
luck = preparation + opportunity
