I do understand the "don't update" mentality. More by luck than expertise they've gotten something to work, and they don't want to risk changing anything. But the decision gets taken away from them when they're interacting with other things over the net.
A business I worked for tried that. Three cloned laptops that were not updated. It almost worked. On of the compilers was leased. The leases were tied to mac addresses. If I get sufficient need for a stable system, I'll install it to an SD card or possibly a DVD. Connecting it to the internet might not be a good idea.
Next biggest issue is logons. Which password for which service? No, don't use the same one everywhere. You've suffered the consequences of doing that before, why haven't you learnt? Choose something that you can actually type correct, but nobody else will guess. Don't give XYZ your Gmail password when it asks you to log-on with an email address and password. Argh.....
