That could very well happen.

But of course, those perfectly-useful machines could eventually die a 
'natural computer death', as well, rather than being junked because 
there is no modern OS to run on them.

So far though, they are working well, and going strong, accomplishing 
useful tasks for me.

It may surprise a lot of people to hear that the slower machines are 
actually more valuable to me, because they allow me to test if my 
software really does work on 'older, slower machines', as I claim on my 
website.

Strangely, my 32-bit MacBook seems to have a better display than my 
later 64-bit MacBook.  And with Linux, it makes a perfectly good musical 
instrument for performances.
