[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1138551, member: 56379"] No problems here. There's absolutely no reason why you cannot continue to use your iMac G4. In fact (given the value of your iMac G4)...there's no reason why you couldn't buy a used or new Intel based Mac computer (if you wanted to)...and keep your iMac G4 for the purposes you mentioned (photos & music for your iPod). Yes "Mactracker" does contain allot of free software downloads...but most of these are: - free software updates for applications or games someone has already purchased (minor incremental updates) - demo software that you eventually have to pay for - or some truly "free" software where if you like it...the author would appreciate a donation But "Mactracker" does not offer "free" major Mac OS upgrades/updates. Going from Mac OS 10.3 to 10.4, 10.3 to 10.5, or 10.4 to 10.5 is a "major" upgrade...and is not free. Also (just to be fair)...I was the one that mentioned the $100 (maybe even $125-$150) cost to upgrade to 10.5 (not Kash).:) I didn't want Kash catching "heck" from you in case you considered that a "negative" thing.;) Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
