[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1520867, member: 24160"] Any individual computer could last for many, many years. It could die later on today. We have folks posting in the forum still using Macs made 10-15 years ago. The last PC I had to fix was an 11 yr old Dell - now quite happily running Linux for it's owners. How useful a computer is 5,7,10 years later depends on what you want/need to do on it. For years, I had to build a new one every year if I wanted to put the latest software on it. My needs have changed and now a computer is lasting me several years. [/QUOTE]
