The PC has been around for 17 years, yet it's not perceived as old. Why?

It's the publicity/marketing! (oh no, not again)
The internals of the PC, as well as its operating environment are well known.
Where do I go to find out the internals of the 400, or its OS?

Then again, if I could pick up a 400 for 2 grand or so, it'd probably be more
popular!
