The New imac

[Ben Syverson]

What puzzels me is that I have been told that you never need to upgrade a Mac besides a simple ram or disk upgrade... I wonder why they just don't upgrade to the new OSX?

10.6 and future versions of MacOS X won't run on a PowerPC (he has a G4). So that alone is a reason to upgrade to a newer Intel-based machine.

However, if your computer is working well for you, you should always question the "need" to upgrade. We've gotten to the point where even older computers are perfectly capable of handling huge files in Photoshop, etc.

I have a friend who still uses a Powerbook from around 2001. It works perfectly well for web browsing, downloading files, watching videos, etc. He's running 10.5.

That is silly. Who told you that?

I've been told that if I keep frowning, my face will stay that way. I've also been told that you get a cold because you got a chill.

Most of us don't believe everything were told.
