Every so often Apple has to clean house and decide what old products it is going to continue to support and repair and which ones it abandons in the wilderness to die. The list below represents those products; the old and forgotten ones. On June 17, 2008, they will be classified as "vintage" or "obsolete":

Products to be designated as vintage in the U.S. and obsolete everywhere else:

• iBook (14.1 LCD 32 VRAM)
• iBook (32 VRAM)
• iBook (Opaque 16 VRAM)
• iMac (17-inch Flat Panel)
• iMac (Flat Panel)
• iMac (Summer 2001)
• eMac
• Power Mac G4 (FW 800)
  

Products to be designated as obsolete:

• iBook (Firewire)
• PowerBook (Firewire)

What's the difference between "vintage" and "obsolete"? It's kind of a legal thing. Service parts for vintage products are only available to repair older Apple products purchased in the state of California, as required by statute. There is no difference between vintage and obsolete products anywhere else.
