[QUOTE="mickibob, post: 1561264, member: 90459"] I'm wondering how long I can expect my iMac G5, Model Identifier iMac 8,1 to last. I don't have a sales receipt but think I bought it about 5 years ago. I have no need for the capabilities of expense of a new computer which, if I understand correctly, would now include the cost of new programs (office, photoshop, quicken, etc) because the ones I have now will not work with whatever version of OS X is current. I also worry that files that I have saved in my current programs will not convert for use with new ones. Everything is backed up on a MyBook - will this work with a new computer? Thanks Bob [/QUOTE]
