Reply #9: My 6 year old Ti Powerbook... [View All]

[LeftHander]

Is still going strong with Apples latest OS...snappy as it ever was.

try running Windows XP on a six year old PC notebook....

My 8 year old iMac is still working. I put in a bigger hard drive...and use Jaguar on it because it doesn't have a DVD drive to install Tiger.

My daughters 5 year old iBook 500 mhz is still snappy and excellent.

My Dual Proc PowerMac I bought used (did replace the CPU module) is awesome. It is four years old.

My wife's iMac G5 17" has been an excellent machine for the past two years.

Our first mac a Performa with 16 MB Ram, and a 250 MB harddisk 66 Mhz. Will still boot up...it is freakin 12 years old.

You buy a $1200 PC today and I can tell you that you will be upgrading or buying a new one in under three years...

No casual user here....WIfe is a graphic designer and teacher, I am musican, daughter is a myspace, music, photo kid...

I use my powerbook to login to work on our unix and windows boxes off hours.

Works great.

I would like a smokin' PC for games though...Windows is a great gaming platform. If I could afford to keep it up to speed...and keep the spyware off it.
