Macs last a long time. They don't break, generally.
Yeah, well,maybe. Unless Apple breaks it for you.
I updated my iMac G5 with the latest security updates and now
EVERYTHING that needs to be transferred to or from it via USB
connection (memory cards, podcasts from itunes to iPod, backups to
ext. drives) takes HOURS to transfer and one backup drive doesn't
even mount.
Visits to the discussion groups at Apple haven't helped. Only one
person with suggestions....reinstall the 10.9 combo updater.....has
offered help and it didn't work. He now suggests clearing the
PRAM???? but I'm worried about doing it and finding that it won't
boot at all. It will take me days at this rate to back everything up
since just one MS of pics can take 6-8 hrs to transfer. I've been
putting the pics on my MacBook Pro and transferring over the network
and that works fine but it's extra steps......and doens't solve the
problem of updating the iPod since all my music, tv and podcasts are
on the iMac.
Needless to say, I won't be applying those security updates to my
laptop.
Shades of Bill Gates!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!" Have a wonderful day!
