You're right about Rosetta being "gone" with Lion and after.

I'm currently using an Early 2009 iMac 24". I got it after my G5 gave up. This iMac is a beauty, the screen is gorgeous, it's pretty fast (although the processor is still Core 2 Duo, not i5/i7 yet), and it runs CS3 just fine (3D games like BioShock or Half-Life 2 run beautifully, too). Previous iMac models had some reliability problem (especially with the faster graphic cards), but I think 2008 models and later are very reliable. If you don't need the portability of a laptop, the iMac is a better, safer and cheaper way. I just love mine. :-) i5/i7 processors are of course faster, but if you want to save some dollar, any iMac from 2007-2008 onwards is fine, I think. BTW, CS3 is Universal. But this iMac with Snow Leopard runs any PPC software fine, too. -- -- 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.
