OK, so I have finally accepted that my eMac has outlived it's usefulness and 
needs to be retired. My question is what to replace it with?  

Cost is a big consideration, so I am probably limited to a core 2 duo iMac or 
Mac Mini. Unfortunately my entire Adobe collection of software will still be 
expecting a PPC to drive it, so I understand I will need an Intel machine which 
has access to Rosetta (even if that access is via a virtual instance of a 
"previous OS" somewhere on the hard drive.) Additionally, many of my 
peripherals are FireWire 400 (which I understand could also present some 
difficulties.) 

What machines and which era of OS Cat, will provide me as smooth and cost 
effective as possible transition into the more modern OS world, while still 
allowing the vintage applications to limp along for a while until they can be 
upgraded.
