Oh, sure-valid points all around. Trouble is...these darn Macs run forever. I use a G3 500 MHz iMac at work every day, reading e-mail, updating the company web site, and recording and editing tons of audio. Works just fine. Doesn't even have a Cd burner IN IT! Sure, it's not blazingly fast, but it gets the job done. My 3 year old emac is in the second home office, my old beige G3 is being used by my Son, Hell, I've even got a Powerbook 145 (yes, a 25 MHz, I believe) that I still use to read e-mail now and then, with the 14.4 dial up modem! They work forever. The Dalmation iMac I bought my Daughter (used) for college 4 years ago is in line to be my new "upgrade" at work. Maybe that's why they hold their value..no one sells them..we all keep on using them!
Oh..you may ask why am I using my own Macs at work? Because the company provides Windows machines, and I refuse to use one. My old Macs at work have NEVER needed service. They've spent more repairing the work gear than the stuff COST in the first place! So I insist on having at least ONE reliable, virus free machine in the place. So, I buy my own!
