[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1597120, member: 56379"] As long as you don't need to run any more modern software applications than you have right now (you mentioned "Cakewalk" runs great)…then you can use this computer until the "wheels fall off"…even if that's 10+ years from now. If you don't need to get on the internet…if you don't need any further updated apps that require more than OS 10.7.5…and if you don't need apps that need newer hardware…then you can run this computer forever!:) But if (at some point in the future) you do need a newer OS version…do need newer apps…want to use newer peripherals…or you want to sync an iPhone or iPad with the computer…then you may run into some hurdles. - Nick [/QUOTE]
