Because fixing a mac that is that old can be cost prohibitive. I completely disagree with your statement that Mr. Martin's advice is "poor unfounded advice." It is sound and rooted in elementary school math. It's not hard to figure out. I recently had a client that had a G4/400 that blew the board and front panel. It was out of warranty. A new board was several hundred dollars (with my connections...more without) and the panel was expensive as well. He decided it would be more economical to look for a new machine. It's simple math. Why fix a 400MHz mac for $500 when that is half the price of one twice as fast. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
