I use an older Mac because:

I've had a G4 400 MHz Gigabit since early 2000. It is one of two
Macs that I bought new the other being a Mac II in 1987. Both ran
flawlessly. I do have a faster Powerbook 1.25 GHz that I got off of
eBay but I use it just for traveling and one or two net surfings a
day. (It is connected to wireless 3G broadband).
Steps 1 through 5 also apply to me. I used to do a lot of desktop
publishing but no longer as I am retired.
I will confess to playing some mahjong and online free slots on
occasion...
