I agree, folks tend to keep machines so long as they still run the software they need. Most users don't max out the capability of their machines with the typical apps they use - email, web surfing and IM. I'm still happy with my PowerBook G4 1GHz (which replaced a Summer of 2000 iMac Indigo because I needed portability). Heck, my oldest PC (given to my daughter for her use during 4 years of high school (purchased in 1996) is still in service. Folks tend to get into what I call "upgraditis" and have to have the latest and greatest. So as long as Apple supports the systems we have and the programs we use and need run on them, I for one don't plan on dumping any of my Macs.
