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).

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. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
