That's not that long ago. A lot of us bought high-end (costly) Macs near the end of the PowerPC run and paid a pretty penny for the machines. I have PowerPC Macs purchased in 2004-2005 and some of theme were very high-end machines at the time. As far as I'm concerned, I haven't gotten my money's worth yet.

The old PC's / laptops I've got around that are over 5 years old are useless and effectively not supported by Windows. They never could run Vista. While I hear you the choice is made by the move to 64bit tech. That's industry obsolescence too. Will Windows 7 work on 32 bit machines? I don't know. I bet you can get a little longer out of it although the new ones are even more appealing! Wish you were here! Think I'd learn more. Next year I'm making sure I play to attend with a group rather than on my own. My first observation of how to get more out of it. Stuart David,
