I know this is somewhat off topic, but did anybody else ever watch The great global warming swindle? Have we actually determined that the warming models are correct, and that we actually can reverse the course of climate change? I have the feeling that global warming continues to be more of a politically driven argument than a scientific one.

For what you are trying to do, I would suggest just spending $1-2k on a nice new middle of the line workstation. Get an LCD monitor, Laser printer, and just modernize all of the hardware. Migrate your customer database to something newer, such as QuickBooks,and buy a few flash drives for regular backups. That way your data is protected, and you won't need to spend a bundle on fancy hardware. If something breaks, you can bring it to a PC repair shop, and your data is not stuck in an out of date format.

Yea, but BOB was just a GUI replacement, not an OS. (I know TFA included X windows, but still...)
