Darryl, As long as your computer does what you want and need it to do, there's no need to upgrade. Mindless upgrades are for lemmings. That said, I would think twice before spending any hard-earned cash on a G5, IMVHO. I don't "hate" Apple for their increasing trend of forcing relatively new Macs into early (and completely artificial) obsolescence, but I am disappointed. IMVHO, Lion was and remains a disappointing upgrade that broke all the good stuff ushered in by Leopard and Snow Leopard. Although I do still use and enjoy my Macs, for the past few months my main computer has been a Sony Vaio running Linux Mint 12.
