[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1502688, member: 56379"] Just going to throw a thought out there for consideration.:) If OP's household has been all Mac (since 1986)...the children are obviously Mac proficient...and they will be getting iPads next year...does it make any sense for them to "stay Mac/Apple"? Questions for "Snowcialist": 1. If you have a 2009 iMac and a new Mac-Mini...couldn't the children use one of them while you are on the other (no additional cost required)? And you can only be on one computer at a time.;) 2. Couldn't the children could still make use of the G5 iMac? Yes it's older...but still good for some things.:) 3. Regarding the Chromebook. Are you talking about getting one Chromebook for the three children...or 3 Chromebooks (1 for each)? The reason why I asked question #3 is...if the three children have to share one Chromebook...then they would also have to share either the iMac or the Mac-mini. Thus "sharing" would be part of either scenario. - Nick [/QUOTE]
