Hi my two main computers right now are around 2007, they are quite a
powerhouse compared to my last laptop from 2004.  I also have a desktop
computer that is from the Windows ME era... so somewhere around 2000...
it works fine for most things, however flash does not work.
It is great for testing, and for the kids to play gcompris, tux typing,
tux math, childsplay, etc....
As a school computer it works great!
I also have an iBook from 2001 that I use to build packages and compile
programs on... but right now that is the only thing I use it for...
until ToriOS for PPC comes out that is :P
