> If 6 years are the idea then I used Toshiba lap top bought in 1987 for 12- 13 years. The battery was replaced by company supplied battery once, then another locally rigged up battery and finally there was no replacement available.
There are probably some folks still using Macs from the 1980's.
I used the phrase "plenty of people" in regard to 6 year old devices.
A Motorola 68040 based Mac would likely still be fine for *plain* email (without HTML or images), but I certainly wouldn't want to do a lot of photo editing on one, and much or all of the current image software wouldn't run on it (don't even mention video).
