I don't mean to start a flame war or anythin, but the 'life expectancy' of a
Mac is not numbered in months. Just because a machine is not produced anymore
does not mean it is disfunctional (i.e. the Apple II). The SE/30 and the IIci
still runs the latest System software, both of which I have in my room right
now.

BTW, I also have my venerable IIe!
