[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 876211, member: 3850"] Fair enough DB... obsolete isn't the word. But don't you think the $600 Mac mini would last him longer? The fact that I wouldn't be able to run 10.6 and the list of apps that don't support PowerPC isn't getting any shorter, I'd certainly not buy a PPC mac now. I'm not bashing PPC mac owners – stick with what works! But we're talking about investing money into a new purchase... If you're set on the G5, wait until 10.6 is released. Prices will likely drop a fair bit once words gets around that it can't run snow leopard. [/QUOTE]
