[QUOTE="rob berry, post: 1929882, member: 339602"] Hello Ashwin and thanks for your reply. Yes I agree with you about how well Apple hardware lasts and my iMac is doing just fine for now so I'll be keeping it a while yet. I agree with you that an upgrade is the only real way to go. I had a look on the Apple UK website to see if it has any trade-in value for a new iMac but it identified my machine has no trade-in value but "is suitable for re-cycling". A cynic might suggest "they would say this wouldn't they" but I think this is the inevitable fact for all technology - it has its heyday, fades a bit but still works fine, then eventually becomes just too old to be able to run the latest software. I will be looking at upgrading within the next couple of years and hopefully, if it's still working OK for what you might call basic computing work, I'll wipe the hard drive and donate it to one of the growing charitable technology recycling organisations that are becoming popular in the UK.
