A 32kB Apple ][ system cost $2000+ in 1977, but has so little utility
today that all that's left is curiosity value. Components will be
failing at that age, so unless you value the user's time at zero, it
won't be worth keeping them going.

I have a maxed-out Thinkpad R51 from 2004 with a new hard drive. It's
just at the edge of usability with modern browsers and applications.

cheers,
 Stewart
