That's typically what causes people I know to finally upgrade their machines after holding out for years. So they inevitably end up upgrading and learning the ins and outs of newer software just so they can keep up with the web. : ) > Also, the machine is acting a little flaky and > I'm concerned that it might decide to give up the ghost at some > inopportune moment. I sold my two G5 towers back in 2008 on eBay for $1200 and $990. That offset the cost of my 2008 Mac Pro which is still a speedy beast as my daily workstation. There are certain things I can't do with this machine already because of the age of the hardware - like certain Continuity features and so on. I can live with that for now though. I estimate I'll get a few more years out of it before I sell it and replace it with something newer and faster (and more capable). -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
