Comment Been using Mac's for over a decade... (Score 1) 323

I bought a IIci in '87 (second from top of the line at that time) and had it for 8 years. I bough a first release iMac in (when was that, 96 or 97?) and had it for 5 years. I bought a refurbished 400 Mhz G4 two years ago and would not have considered getting a replacement except that these mini's are so amazingly (for apple) cheap. (even so, I will probably wait) My point is that, even with technology's march, Macs keep being useful for longer than PCs. I have kept useful Macs for 5 to 8 years and watched my windows PC buddies need new PCs every 3 or 4 years. So don't stress out so badly about the timing of getting in. I promise that you will feel sad when the next release comes out. But we all get over that. And your Mac will survive. PS: 2 notes. 1) I do not game much... that may have changed my ROI history 2) Linux is (much) better at running on old PC hardware than new MS OS releases.
