[QUOTE="5tevie, post: 1252951, member: 177281"] The only good thing about a Mac from that era is that it is cheap. It gives potential Switchers the chance to try the Mac way of doing things and the OS X software. Think of it this way, if you were a lifelong Windows user and somebody suggested trying a Mac, would you be more likely to try the change if you could do it for £50 using a 10 year old computer or a 3 year old one costing £300. Once you have used the £50 machine to convince yourself that you can handle Mac stuff, sell it to the next switcher and buy a newer machine. I did almost that by buying myself a Mac laptop. I can't remember the name of it but it was a black one rather than one of the newer white ones and it had bronze coloured keys and ran Jaguar (I think). After a while using that laptop I bought myself the PC I am using now which is a Mac Mini Aluminium. It ain't the fastest computer in the world but I don't need speed for the things that I use a computer for. Good luck with Macs, Steve [/QUOTE]
