Nobody said anything about a computer bought in 1995. The original question had to do with a laptop that broke after 3-4 years, and the person wasn't too happy and was considering a Mac. Since upgrades to the screen reader are tied to the os on a Mac, if your Mac is too old to get the new upgrade, you also don't get the new VO features, and that can be a computer that is 3 to 4 years old. I have an old xp machine that I sure wouldn't put Windows 8 on, but it is something like 6 years old, not 4, and when I go to replace it, if I do, I'll pay substancially less than what I would pay for a new Mac. I'm not saying that the Mac isn't good. I just think the decision to switch is a lot more complicated than deciding it is a good deal because you get the screen reader buiult in to the os.
