I've seen a lot of good, well thought-out replies on this: "They work well for my needs," "It's what I can afford," or even, perhaps, "They're fun to upgrade and play with." (Obviously, I'm paraphrasing here.) But, no one has asked the obvious question, "Why would anyone join a group dedicated to Power PC G machines and ask why you are still using them?" Duh! If you didn't have a reason, wouldn't you just move on to a Mac Mini (I own two, but still love my Power PC's) or an iMac and leave this group? I'm not trying to flame on here, but I just think it's odd that a G-List member would question the reasons for owning and working on the very kinds of machines the list is dedicated to. I mean, I wonder why there are people still working with System 6, but obviously they have their own reasons. I wouldn't join the group and then question why they are doing it. It just seems a bit odd to me. Does it seem strange to anyone else?
