nearly 4 years ago).
Two to three years, in my case. However, they're not retired after that:
they trickle down to an ever growing group of family and friends who rely on
hardware supplied by me for their daily computing tasks.
Of course, I am always quite clear about them being on loan: they stay mine
and if they're deemed unwanted, I want them back. I only ever sold one, a
500 MHz iBook, in order to buy the faster (900 MHz) version of the exact
same model.
