> I have even seen Dual G5 towers go on ebay for as little as $200 shipped.
I've seen that, too. A dual G5 at $200 shipped with no tax makes a good case for retaining a G-based system. However, for the same $200 PLUS tax PLUS shipping, a competitive "Hackintosh" can be obtained, and that machine would out-perform the G5. Eventually, G-systems will be abandoned, in spades. Heck, should Jobs decide to abandon i-systems (Intel) for a-systems (ARM), then the same scenario would apply. In the "end game", the so-called consumer, whom is actually making the decision, WILL decide which hardware s/he wants, and the underlying software, to the extent that it is compatible with at least TWO platforms, WILL decide to go with the cheaper of the two platforms. Right now, the intelligent choice, hands-down, is a generic PC, running MacOS 10.6.x. -- 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.
