Did you have anything break on them? Because that was my point.

Repairing Macs costs a fortune, because Apple rather you buy something new than repair them.

I still have a Windows 98 machine that fully functions. It is just slow.

Yeah, you take it back in and they fix it. Or you fix it yourself. Just like any other computer. If your issue is something hardware related, Apple will still fix it, it just costs a lot because you’re paying for it in every part of the engineering. You can also go to third party repair shops and have them fix it for cheaper.

I gave a friend a powermac g5 that I had gotten for free as a teen, gave it to them 10 years ago, and it still works too, it’s just slow. That means nothing.
