A computer is a tool, and nothing more. If it is doing everything you need it to do, why would you want to replace it any time before it is dead (or not cost effective to keep alive).> Thank you. :-) It's only that I'm sooo tired of hearing people tell me I "should" upgrade when the equipment I have does everything I want and need it to do. (Including Claris Emailer. :-D) <But then, if the rest of the world had that attitude, I wouldn't be able to keep plucking perfectly good computers out of the trash around here. I just love driving to or from work in the mornings and seeing Pentium 2 or Pentium 3 machines sitting in the garbage on the curb. Most of them work perfectly... once you reformat the hard drive to wipe out all the spyware the person had on it that dragged its performance to a crawl. Gotta love idiot windows users :-)> ROFLMAO, you sound exactly like my boyfriend, who not only rescues those things out of the garbage (HE turns the former Windoze PCs into Linux boxes, though, hee hee), but also now that he's working with a salvage guy that gets Mac stuff too, well, I've been a beneficiary of the "upgrade for the sake of upgrading" folks who throw away their "obsolete" computers. Still though, I can't help but feel that unless one's computer won't perform a necessary function WITHOUT an upgrade of some sort, upgrading is...well...unnecessary and not worth the hassle. ~Yersinia. ________ "Just when you start to accept that Life's a bitch, she has puppies." ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
