Indeed. And it's a little surprising that the Genius Bar wouldn't have said the same. Did they give any info to go on?
While 5 years is getting up there in computer years, my parents are still rocking my old G4 tower from 2000. And I know someone who just now gave up her 11-year-old iBook, only because the Flash plug-in wouldn't work anymore (no new PPC version). You should be doing just fine, as long as your hard drive is ok and you have enough RAM to smoothly run whatever OS you have installed.
