My desktop (PPC G5 1.8 GHz, 2GB) has been in once for the video chip issues (and should go in again) and it's grumbling about it's capacitors "just not working like they used to" - I have to restart the thing multiple times/day...which was fine as I had my PowerBookG4....but *that *has now died (won't recognise the HD on startup, other computers can't 'grab' it, I still want to try and save my info on there).....so I'm down to the week old iPod Touch and this hobbling PPC desktop. Indeed, my needs are increasing (starting a new business) and I'll be getting a new Mac Book Pro as soon as I can spend the change....but in my investigation in what my next step would be, I did find that any PPC model is quite limiting. If I had just email, surfing and some composing to do, and I found a PPC machine for under $300 that I had confidence in, I'd probably get it. But I love thrift store-ing and garage sale-ing and have, at times, accumulated a bunch of *stuff*,...so take that sound advice as you will. Good luck! To us all! ---Ramey
