[QUOTE="radarbob, post: 170180"] You were very wise to compare apples to apples (pun intended :mac: ). My 17 years of Macintosh experience confirms this. Mac simply has a longer useful life than PCs. Historically, Macintosh tends to be more upgradeable and backward compatable. I'm typing this on an original Blueberry iBook running Panther (OS 10.3). One of the programs I have (running in classic mode) is WriteNow- a word processor designed for OS 7 (that was two different kinds of CPUs ago!). The copywrite notice says 1994! And don't forget Mac OS now is really UNIX. Classic mode is a masterful piece of engineering from Apple, allowing us to use older (to a point) software. Ask your PC buddies if they would take a 6 year old PC laptop and run XP on it. They'd think you're nuts! [/QUOTE]
