I love the G4, as far as I'm concerned it's the peak of the Performance per Dollar curve. I was happy with 10.3, but Turbotax required 10.4 to run. I then took the jump to 10.5.8 and am there now. This Mac was born in March 2003, and I can see many years ahead. The only time it shows it age is encoding video. But if it takes 4 hours, I run it overnight. Not like I ever have a video emergency. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
