Whose back-biting? I simply said as you said that it is this person's
choice. sory if it seemed belittling, but I know I am not this individual
so was just trying to answer the question too.

Can we please again stop the back-biting? Back on list and again wondering if
I should be.
Getting back to the original question: If you can get to a Mac store or see a
friend's Imac or even mini, you may see the attractiveness in outward design
that is so cool about a Mac as opposed to the PC. It's the feel of the
machine, its space-saving physical design, it's 'cool' look.
It's a bit like I guess the difference between getting a Merc and a
bog-standard car of the cheapest production line.
But it's your choice. I tend to agree that unless you're already used to
building mnachines it would be safer, if less rewarding from that standpoint,
to buy a ready-made new machine.

However you did make a better stab at answering the question. upgrading
the processor does not a new mac make, nor does it apparently make for
building one of course.
Personally there is nothing wrong with running os 9 if it suits your
purposes, vo does not run with what I use the mac for, so for me os 9 is
just fine, and I personally think 512 meg of memory is more than baseless.
This is me, however and I would not project my interests onto this person,
nor diminish their goals as I am not them. It is their time after all?
