Hehe, yeah, Todd...the only brand-spanking new Macs in our house have been for The Muse and she's not a power user, so it was never an issue. I've tended, like Per, to buy trailing edge Macs (my G5 was a 2-year-old-at-the-time "October Surprise", so I already knew what the "gotchas" were...it's now well on it's way to 6 years old and still running strong...aside from being a Power PC!). The two Dell MINI netbooks I did buy new, but specifically with the idea of making them Hackintoshes. As has begun to be mentioned, the useful life-cycle of the Macs, from a "professional" point of view (thanks, Per, for phrasing it that way!) really makes them worth the extra up-front costs whether you run OS X on them or use BootCamp to make them screaming Windows machines (I'm rather enjoying using Win 7 on our monster iMac!). Best, Dennis PS...if you can afford it, buy AppleCare w/ the new machine! http://soundcloud.com/usrsbin http://audiozoloft.com http://usrslashsbin.angrek.com/ On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 1:18 PM, Todd Matthews <gtmatthews@gmail.com> wrote: > That was where I went so wrong!
