[QUOTE="baggss, post: 176773, member: 6762"] You bring up a good point. Apple has not specifically said how long the Universal Binaries thing will last. At some point, they will drop support for the PPC, just like they did for the 68K Macs. The chance you take by buying a PPC based mac, or by owning a relatively new one, is that Apple will drop support before your ready or able to buy a new machine. I personally have been eyeing the Quad G5 Macs, but am now facing the same issue. Do I buy now,and get the last Gen PPC Mac or do I wait and get an Intel Mac? One would reason that the replacement for the Quad G5 is going to have to be one **** of a Machine to match what is already out there. OfficeSpace RULES! [/QUOTE]
