[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 896879, member: 56379"] In my humble opinion...a 1.6ghz G5 will do just great for the tasks you listed...and I think that it should be fine for at least another 2 years...if not more for those particular tasks. Especially for the tasks in the order that you listed. To be honest...you could do word processing & e-mail on a MUCH older & MUCH slower Mac...and still be just fine!!! Internet will be just fine as well on a 1.6ghz G5. As far as taking 10 seconds to open a PDF file...well that really depends on the size & complexity of any individual PDF file. I say go for it...and be confident that you made the right decision.:) Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
