Possibly the 32-bit MacBook might have an Nvidia graphics card, which generally seems to bring a crisper display than the Radeon options . . . . Apple seems to "mix n match" the hardware in different platforms, so to make it seem competitive with PC choices? And, right, "the wish for a natural death" scenario, rather than "induced death due to lack of support" . . . I've tried to keep my old PPC machines going, unnaturally adding parts to revive them from zombie state . . . but, the pull of the technological wave seems to keep sending them back . . . and then the new parts don't have the right connectors . . . making it difficult to sustain "life" . . . . It's somewhat like "newer, fresher horsies" are the "better" choice in the cost/benefit ratio of time management theory . . . ?? F
