"Computer Years"

[aimeeandbeatles]

I was talking to someone online recently, and mentioned that it turns outs my Aptiva IBM isn't dead after all (my mom thought it was), and now it's at a university. And it ends up something like "In computer years, it's probably a mature student."

What do you think the computer/human years ratio is? Or does it depend on the brand, hardware, etc?

Just a thread for discussion. This is what happens when I stay up late and have too much sugar.

Computers generally don't die, they just get thrown out. Properly maintained computer equipment can last decades.
