Well "no longer relevant" and "out of date" don't mean precisely the same thing.

How could it be? Technology advances. The state of the art system is what's sitting on an engineer's test bench. What you buy is obsolete before you take it home from the store.
Software and programming are likewise. I have a few computer texts that are relatively timeless, but most date very quickly.
