[QUOTE="mufngruf, post: 1217802, member: 151219"] Thanks for the input... it's not just the size of the monitor that's the issue... I would like to be able to access some of my old classic apps, for one thing. But, in truth, a big part of it is that, at 62, I really can't be arsed to keep learning new ways of doing the same thing. I was/am COMFORTABLE with Appleworks, Pagemaker and my old original programs where I used to be able to do what I wanted/needed to do without having to learn some new way to do old things. I don't know anything about the "heat" issues.. but I'm GUESSING that maybe that happens when you push the thing to it's limits and I don't intend to do anything like that... I listen to some tunes, watch the occasional video, send some emails and design the odd flyer... I type a few words, keep my calender and contacts up to date.. real basic stuff. It was the striving for the latest thing that got me this behometh in the first place. I've given it a good shot but I'm only using about a tenth of it's capabilities... and it's costing me my comfort level. At my age, I'll probably be able to happily end my watch using the old technology... leopard and some classic will do me just fine. The question is, how hard is it to go on back. [/QUOTE]
