But when you say 3 years 'use' do you mean that if you use it for 12 hours per day it will last 6 years and 12 years if use for 6 hours per day ? You know what I mean. Not sure how you can so relibley know how long any computer will last. No one can. But three years is the limit for Apples extended warranty "Apple Care"... If you buy an iMac you should plan for your next purchase within 3 years. The point is that you have to look at your ugly self in that mirror screen of yours for those three years. ;-p A friends first intel imac from 2006 was OK until the end of last year when it developed a graphocs problem since then it was used with a TV. But died recently when lightning took it out a couple of months ago. -- teleportation kills http://tinyurl.com/androidphotography |

Hmmm. I have an 9 year old Acer running Windows XP which is a 13 year old operating system last updated 6 years ago. It doesn't quite do everything I want to do but it suits my wife's purposes very well. what exists on it still works, but it run cs6, lr5, windows 7 and certainly windows 10. And if one only needs the apps it currently runs, there is no reason to upgrade. -- PeterN |

My 2007 iMac is still running (I sold it for just shy of $1000 a couple years ago - I run into the buyer occasionally (local restaurant owner) and he's delighted with it - or rather his son, who took it over, is delighted with it). What PC sells for near $1000 after over 5 years of use? The point is that you have to look at your ugly self in that mirror screen of yours for those three years. ;-p When the screen is lit with content you don't see yourself at all. And with the later Macs (last couple years) the screen is less reflective still. -- Among Broad Outlines, conception is far more pleasurable than “carrying [the children] to fruition.” Sadly, “there’s a high infant mortality rate among Broad Outlines—they often fall prey to Nonstarters.” "Bestiary of Intelligence Writing" - CIA |

Then the reflexions of your ugly face will appear in that little black dress, deep black water or whatever. -- teleportation kills http://tinyurl.com/androidphotography |

And odds are that that Acer will run Windows 7 or Windows 8 just fine. that's an unusual definition of 'just fine'. |
