I do understand what you're saying. I'm just disagreeing with you. If a computer does what you want it to do, it's not obsolete. My twelve year-old computer can run Linux Mint -- and that's what I want to run -- therefore it's not obsolete.

Obsolete is defined ...

1. No longer in use; gone into disuse; disused; neglected;
        as, an obsolete word; an obsolete statute; -- applied
        chiefly to words, writings, or observances.
        [1913 Webster]

My computer is "in use" and it's not "neglected."
