Macs don't fall into this category as the PC world owns that domain.
That said, a very substantial number of Mac owners own older Macs as
do I. My newest is a 1.25GHz PowerBook, (bought on eBay in 2007),
that does just fine with Tiger. My other Mac is a Gigabit purchased
new in 2001.
Since you mentioned automobile, well that is often the case of
"keepin' up with the Jones'."
I don't subscribe to such since I drive really old cars the newest
being a 1983. If they run good why change a good thing?
James, you seem to have mistaken me for somebody else. My point has
nothing to do with keeping up with the Joneses and everything with the
fact that things are not made to last anymore. (FWIW, I drive a 1994.)
I didn't infer that it was you but just people in general. There is
a minority of us that think outside the box and look at numbers
before we jump into a major purchase.
Of course, the majority might think me just a mite crazy...
