As a rich documentation of social and environmental impacts of computers during their utilisation already exists, the present work mainly deals with the question of how the technical life of a computer can be extended. Additionally the resulting environmental and economical benefits are being assessed. Different life cycle extension methods are critically reviewed and, subsequently, the acceptance of end-users regarding the use of computer systems, whose life cycle is prolonged, is evaluated.

Two different questionnaires, one for individuals and another for computer experts, serve as the basis for a scoring and a system model. Based on these two models, the above issues are discussed and summarized.
