It's been years since it was my daily driver, but my 2004 Dual G5 is still working. The interesting part is that it is still remarkably snappy for everything but internet-related work — the Finder responds well, and applications load and run with pretty much the same user-interaction speed as on a reasonably-modern Mac or Linux box. If browsers were not so heavy — running one of the PowerPC Firefox variants bogs down the system something fierce — it would not be an intolerable experience. I'm grateful for the machines I have to work with today, to be sure, but a basic office app doesn't seem too much different on a user level even across decades.
