OK..we all know that Macs can remain in service for decades, but what
I mean by "lifespan" was:
"How long will apple continue to SELL G4-powered Macs."
based on what I've heard and read, I don't know if they want to flush
away all PPC macs as soon as they can, or do it gradually.
some 'ware won't run on intel-based Macs..and so one might want to
snag an extra one before they're dinosaurs
