Now that's the conversation we had at work. Co-worker was trying to upgrade to a faster Mac for her mom, because she'd picked up a scanner that wouldn't run on her 7100. She said "I was told she should have at least a G3 to do any desktop publishing." I said "How do you think they did it before G3s?" The fact of the matter is that desktop publishing was developed on pretty basic machines. I can see that you might need more speed, if you're web browsing or run a business. If you're just doing this stuff for yourself, you really don't need a faster machine or a newer OS. Most folks really don't use their machines for that much.
