[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1028189, member: 140470"] Don't worry about. Everyone makes mistakes. I certainly do. ;) I kind of assumed you were thinking iMac when you read it. It does depend on what you doing on your computer. I was finding that some of my newer electronic devices and software weren't supporting PowerPC much. Also little things like my example with Netflix streaming media not supporting PowerPC at all. The OP's parents may or may not be effected by these issues but I thought it was worth noting so that the OP can make a thorough decision. You are not alone. Unless you get the very high end flat screens I still think a good CRT is better. I have to admit flat screen technology is getting much better though. [/QUOTE]
