Why don't stupid people have less rights ?

Just because a machine is old or slow doesn't imply anything about what 
it is used for or the sensitivity of the data held on it.

I suspect a lot of older machines like this are used as firewalls for

networks that don't have a huge bandwith requirement. An SS1 or IPX with
2 NICs would do just fine as a firewall for home.
