[QUOTE="anasazi4st, post: 1583330, member: 280548"] I agree completely. The most important part of the equation is hardware that powers up and works. I have a number of G4 Macs--both desktops and powerbooks--as well as newer and older ones. In addition to processor speed, the biggest tradeoff with older machines is web browsing...the older ones can't run the newer versions of, say, Safari, with better security. So some sites won't load at all. You can often find older copies of most apps, but the web browsing process has changed much over the years, older versions won't work very well. Good luck...please let us know if you have any more questions. [/QUOTE]
