I don't think so. The original poster for this thread that he was only interested in doing everything he had always done. That would mean no new software. When you buy a computer, you should forecast is software upgradeability. How long away that would be is a matter for debate, but I'm fairly certain it would be less than 4 years in most cases. -Mick -- -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
