    Win A Mac mini and a miniStack
  • The truth is Macintoshes last forever--okay, maybe not "forever"--but they sure last longer than similar level PCs. I have yet invested in a G5 system, since G4 and G3 processors still work great for me. My primary systems, desktops and laptops, run on 400, 500, 900MHz G3 up to 1GHz G4s. Servers range from the 604s up to dual 450MHz CPU G4. When will these machines become obsolete? As dickrichards2000 mentioned earlier, they "will become obsolete when [I] stop using [them]." I'm running Tiger on both my upgraded Pismo PowerBook and the original 400MHz Lombard PowerBook. Believe it or not, I still plan to use these PowerBooks, as long as their LCD displays can hold up that long, for another two, three years until Apple comes out with another PowerBook that can hold two battries, allowing me true wireless computing experience for 8 hours between charge.

    How Long Until The PowerPC is Truly Obsolete?
  • As a 15-year Mac user and a former computer salesperson, I must agree with you. The last two Macs I bought were PowerBook G4/500 and PowerBook G4/1GHz. While I believe Macintoshes are better buys, the PC makers gained market share by selling cheap computers. I think what you are proposing is a great. Let's just hope the decision maker(s) at Apple come across this article and look into some possiblities. Wish us luck! Best Regards, George
