In my opinion, as long as the software you have on it is still supported, then the machine is not obsolete. What if we decided not to accept the fact that they're obsolete.
That would be the point of LEM.
That can be made possible with the "Q" emulator. Just as long as it can still be made in PPC code and as long as it has the current processor architecture code in it, The machine may not ever become obsolete. After a certain amount of years, of course we will have machines that age, but sometimes, A small stroke of luck comes your way. I have a Power Macintosh G4 iSaw (AKA Sawtooth) with 4GB of SDRAM, 440GB of HDD space, Mac OS X 10.5.8, and Mac OS X 10.6.3.
The Mac is a Sawtooth. An iSaw is a USB device. :) <http://www.usbchainsaw.com/>
Yeah, that's right! I do have 10.6.3 on a PPC mac! I have the "Q" emulator running as the only program on the system, and I run it on startup.
