This is a bit late (I've had problems with my legacy hardware), but

"legacy" in computer usage is a few years old and doesn't just mean

pre-Windows 95. "Legacy" hardware or software is any equipment or

program that is hanging around, considered obsolete by the person using

the term, but has to be maintained for some reason. For example, I have

an ancient workstation that is more trouble than it's worth, but

it would take a solid week's work, and probably a paid consultant, to

rebuild the network here without it.
