If we're supposed to throw computer equipment, why was Microsoft
Windows invented?

"Created", please. There was no inventing involved.

Side note: Did you know that the "blue screen of death" is
blue, because researchers found that blue has a calming effect?

That's true. It causes me to shoot the monitor screen with just my .
22 instead of my .44 Magnum.

The washers should fit fine, but to prevent the screws from vibrating
loose, use either those screws with smooth shanks that are a lot
larger in diameter than the threaded portion, or apply weak Loctite to
the threads of regular screws

From Wikipedia:

"The feel and damping qualities of Sorbothane have been likened to
those of meat."

Has anybody tried replacing worn engine mounts with sirloin?

Pity washers won't help.
For this you need either (sorbothane) grommets or studs.
In order to reduce shock the drive must be able to move in all planes.
Grommets need much bigger holes, studs require some extra height.
