Macs hold their value amazingly well. As in, 6 year old Macs still sell for a few hundred dollars. As in, you have to realize that a Mac that will cost $500 and will also be a Mac that will run OS X will get you a G3, middle-end.
Apple had a logic-board program because they realized that it was an issue and G3 owners could get their logic boards swapped out. Some, because they racked up so many issues, received brand-new iBooks (G4s). That is good customer service.
