Aye, my old man's kept a collection of every apple and mac we've ever owned. Nevermind a 7-year lifespan, even - my current mac is seven years old, kept running via diligent maintenance and judicious upgrades. It's not exactly a dinosaur, either. It's used for scientific research, music production, and a whole host of other completely modern tasks. I don't know many people who still use seven year-old Dells, and even less who keep fifteen year-old Dells for posterity.
