I had exactly the opposite impulse, but I need to check it with you
folks. I have an "old" iMac G5. My wife had a very old IMac G3
running OS9. We've been wanting to get her an iMac G5 as soon as we
could afford it, and my impulse is to snap up one of the Motorola
ones if I can.
For instance, she has a lot of old MS Word stuff on her computer.
Will she be able to open any of it with the Intel machine? I have an
educator's edition of MS Word 2004 that opened all my old files and
says that it can be installed on two machines. I presume that if she
got a Motorola iMac, I could install Word and she would be able to
open her old files. But if she gets an Intel machine, my Word 2000
wouldn't work and all her old files would be lost.
Am I correct.
