I like this part *Happy* YES!

for general you can translate "Open-Source" with: "*extremely* long product lifetime"

But unfortunately, there's next to none who use computers for *extremely* long time..

*I mean, almost no one use their computer for, say, 10 years.

'Cause you and others (the geeks, they says) can reuse your computer/computer component then you won't buy something new that can be acommodated by that [computer/ component].
