I have this concern as well, but I'm going to upgrade my Pismo and Lombard
to 500 MHz G4s.
Still...
... I was at MacWorld and I overheard one of those guys at the Apple
booth with
Jaguar polo shirts saying how Macs typically last twice as long at PCs,
usually
7 years.
Hello?!!
OS X only runs on G3s at a very minimum. This leaves out a lot of 603,
603e, 604
and 604e machines over just over 6 years ago.
I'm writing this on a 2 year old Pismo that I'm feeling is getting left
in the
dust with OS X, especially w.r.t. to graphics. I don't know but I think
Steve's
reality distortion field is a bit out of tune.
OTOH, OS X 10.2, expect for Aqua Extreme, may be surprising responsive on
older
machines. So I guess we'll just have to see.
