Three years is old for a personal computer.  All of my computers are old
by this standard.  Most four to five year old Macs can run OS X, 10.5,
though.  Not many three year old PCs can run Vista.  Any computer that
can't run the current version of its OS qualifies as old.  I am planning
to buy a new laptop as soon as Apple updates its models.  My office just
replaced "my" Windows laptop (still XP, but it could run Vista if
company wanted it to).

Thank you,

Mark Snyder

   Maybe.  Tom Piwowar uses the terms "old" or "very old" often to
describe the computers that some folks have, and that started causing me
to wonder about what the "Computer Age" has done to redefine what the
term "old" means.
