- A selection of early 2004 iBook G4 models
- eMac (USB 2.0)

As a point of reference:
Vintage products are those that were discontinued more than five and less than seven years ago.Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products.

I hate acronyms, esp. obscure acronyms.
My early exposure to the Mac was 1984. The original 128K, 400KB disk drive, 9 inch b/w screen. Never looked back.. :-)
Not obscure in the Apple news world. They generally have a lot of great newsy information and always stir the rumor pot around Apple products.

- I am sure glad my Apple Lisa and the Profile 5 meg hard drive are not obsolete.
