So, since your the expert on this, what is the "normal HW upgrade cycle"? I suppose all Mac users follow the same upgrade cycle, huh. >Chad >most of whose Macs are built from parts from eBay and parts shops and >PC parts [total 3 Macs in the last 3 years -- personal and business >owned], though he does have 3 original purchased Macs from Apple >since 1998 [all business owned], 1 of which has been passed on to >others. Hmm - so your own upgrade cycle is what, 8 years? From 1998 to 2005? Or were you gonna keep those original Macs longer than this year? So, Apple is going to be supporting PPC for another 8 years, then. OK. Ted
