More to the point, why adapt? Older machines usually do the job. In this
household, apart from the vintage machines, our daily use computers are
2007 Macbook (wife's), 2004 dual G5, 2005 PowerBook. Sometimes a 2004 PC
(P4 HT 3.2) which is fast enough to run modern games, 720p video, etc.
and was my daily Linux development machine when I worked from home. For
a few weeks, the PowerBook was my main development machine at work
recently; it was quite enough.
No upgrades are planned or needed. My PowerPC Macs are really much
faster than I need.

I'm still
using (in a practical, daily driver sense) a computer that
is almost 6 years old (quad G5). My laptop (iBook G4) and backup
workstation (Luxo G4) are even older.
I regularly use a SPARCstation 20. And I'm sure, especially here, that
I'm far from the most extreme in that direction.
I'm not having much luck adapting to this
"post PC" age.
So who's adapting?
