[QUOTE="BoingoBongo, post: 183179"] It was a hard decision, actually. The G5 machines are tried and true, and that really made me feel comfortable. I'm usually not concerned with being on the cutting edge of things. A good computer is a good computer no matter what. I just decided that if I was going to spend that kind of money ($2,300 after tax w/ AppleCare), I didn't want to buy something that was outdated before I even opened the box, you know? I was a little worried about the lack of universal programs out now. I use a lot grahpic design and editing programs. I just figured I don't mind waiting a little while, and by the time I saved up more money for the programs, many of the universal versions will probably be available. Price wasn't really a factor because the two were priced equally (although I know the 20" G5 came down $200 yesterday). Some of the upgrades for the G5 were actually more expensive, so if anything, the Core Duo seemed like a better value. I had to save for a long time to afford this, and I wanted to get something great, and I really think that I did. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/Surfungus/491d1e13.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
