I know that this email list is sponsored by 'lowendmac' but from the MAJORITY of posts you can only surmise that the majority of us have Modern Macs. I subscribed to get information that can't be gleaned from other sources. There's nothing like information from somebody who is using the same computer in the real world. Also, there are quite a few really knowledgeable people here who are quite willing (if not eager) to help. Another thing to keep in mind is that all of us are different and have different life experiences. Some of us are more tactful in the way they express themselves and some less (I fall in the latter group most often). There is a group of people who subscribe to this list who continue using 'low end Macs'...either by necessity or choice (I have no clue). They also continue to use OS 9 and prior as their main OS....once again out of necessity or choice...I have no idea. They also 'appear' to refuse to use an application that costs more than (gasp) $100.00....(ibid). These people also 'appear' to be the minority of subscribers. With the advent of the latest G5's and the powerful new powerbooks, ibooks and even some of the latest G4's it seems a shame to saddle yourself to a pre-G3 Mac (even if upgraded). Today's OS is way over what OS 9 could ever do and Tiger sounds like it is going to be way over what 10.3 can do. Once again a shame to be saddled to anything prior to OS X. Watching the 2005 Mac conference was amazing. I can't wait to get Tiger and try out iLife 05. Office 2004 simply rocks. The newest games are really FUN! Using iTunes and the Music store and being able to use my iPod is something you would have to tear out of my dead hands! Proper use of the Mac is NOT chugging away on your PowerPC 7200 (although it 'was' my first Mac). Running multiple apps while listening to iTunes and previewing a movie clip while downloading and chatting to somebody in the next city SIMULTANEOUSLY is the proper use. I'm certain that a lot of you don't disagree. I might not always say it with the maximum tact, but 'thems the facts'.
