Bah!

An 040 or 030 powered Mac w/ MacOS makes a decent web browsing, word
processing machine; it's an actually useable alternative to an e-machine. 

Similarlly a 386 or 486 powered FreeBSD machine can still be quite useful
even as a small server (admittedly the 68k Mac hardware makes for a piss
poor server.. but still).

I can't see a 486 or 040 powered machine becomming entirely obsolete until
X is required to buildworld.
