And you blue, have a vivid imagination. PC Labs, computer that are actually used rarely have more than a three year life span, even then then, only with considerable maintenance.
I maintain her computer for the most part and yes she bought it in the summer of 2002. She uses it daily. Thanks for trying to suggest I am a liar.
They had a 22 month warranty (why not 24 I don't know). I bought a new D325 back in 1990 and ran a AX.25 BBS & packet node on it 24/7/365. After 20 months’ use I discovered it would not always warm boot and would less often successfully cold boot. The shop determined that “something” was failed on the motherboard. Leading Edge was essentially in failure by that time and it took about a month to find and ship a new board, but after it was replaced I continued on with the machine until early 2000, by which time the machine and it's mission were both technologically obsolete.
Unlike any Macbook it WOULD anchor a good sized boat. It was a huge old workhorse, with 8 slots and 6 bays, and it was stuffed full with 4 MB of RAM plus the optional 100 MB drive and ATI 256 color VGA card, all for a cool $1500 with no monitor.
After retiring it, on a whim I hooked up a drive that had Win95 on it and I'll be darned it took forever, but it loaded.
