For me it is a money thing. My Day to Day is a PowerBook 2400c that I got for $300. I have a Bondi iMac that is finally allowing me to go to X that I got for free from a friend that was pulling up stakes and didn't want to lug it with her. I also use a 5400 for serving, mp3's and surfing. They all do their job admirably well and never crash. I cannot afford a new Mac, plus these machines are all at least three years old and meet my needs. The "Buy New Every Two" rhetoric that comes out of Redmond doesn't always hold true with Apples. I am using a 7 year old laptop (PowerBook 190) to write curriculum, get mail, and websurf on a mere 8 megs of RAM. Try that on a Wintel laptop of similar vintage. They all are great tools that do their job, so why retire them?
