Dear iMac Listers, I lurk here a lot and do learn things useful to me from time to time, but don't often post. When I do post, your answers have mostly been very helpful, thank you all.
I have been an iMac user since the end of '99 when we got a Bondi Blue Rev. A machine. I am using OS 8.6 and have maxed the RAM to 384 MB, all of which seems to serve our fairly unassuming needs. What I would like to ask the listers here is whether you, as a Mac user, believe that it is absolutely neccesary to be dragged unwillingly into the future, and forced to abandon programs and OSes that continue to be perfectly suited to one's needs, just to satisfy a computer company's efforts to continually 'improve' things? This may seem an odd question, but I have never seen it addressed anywhere on any of the NGs or lists. My opinion is that if it ain't broke don't fix it, yet I am comfortable with allowing developments and improvements, BUT I do NOT believe that one should be eventually forced to leave behind one's perfectly workable (and thoroughly tested) programs and OSes that are in place and functioning! I would entertain your thoughts and ideas on this topic. Cheers, All! Paul [in almost about-to-be-rainy Tampa, Florida today] == -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
