>>None of this excuses the fundamental problem here (and I'm sorry to be blunt, but ...) -- the fact that you waited a long time to accept the idea that the days of holding on to computers upwards of a decade are done and gone.<<
This may be none of my concern, but let me be equally blunt: For most people, the cost of a new computer is simply not worth the cost. A new G5 will run you several thousand fully loaded, and the others, while significantly cheaper, still cost a pretty penny. I don't think that holding on to a computer for year after year is a problem at all. In fact, i think it's extremely prudent. What matters is that the computer handles the tasks it needs to, and i have little patience or understanding for businesses who plan obsolesence so they can create more revenue.
