Right, Valter, now you mention it: there was this news half a year ago that
Adobe had stopped using product identification for CS2, which in practice
means that one can download and use it for free, but the draw-back was that
it only ran on PPC. These Adobe guys aren't crazy, you know...

Thanks for the confirmation, PH! I didn't include the G4 Mac Mini in my
recommendation, as I think it would be a step back from an eMac; otherwise,
that would probably be the cheapest solution.

have been using CS3 on a PowerMac (so PPC G4) and have moved it recently to
an Intel MacMini with no problem at all.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, still using an eMac as my main
computer, though I do have an intel macbook available for when I
desperately need it. I've been looking at used Mac Pros, as I am a bit
tired of the non-upgradeability and repairability of the all-in-one
designs. Mac Pros are

The MacPro 1,1 is stuck at OS 10.6.8.
I'd try for something with more upgrade future.
The new MacPros haven't hit the market place yet and folks might be getting
worried about the new design shift to less internal expandability.
Until then, the older MacPros might be at a premium.

1,1s can run Lion; mine does. TBH, a 1,1 is probably the best
price/performance deal. Mine came with dual-dual Xeons at 2.66, which gives
about 6k Geekbench with a platter hard drive, and cost $350. I upgraded to
dual-quad Xeons (also at 2.66) which brought me to 10k, and the CPUs were
$50 each.

No, with no tweaks it stops at 10.7.5.
With small tweaks, you're still current.
My Mac Pro 1,1 is running 10.8.5 now,
I intend to install 10.9 later tonight hopefully.

As Bob said about the repairability of the later iMacs … I just looked on the
net, at all the two year old iMacs that were being sold for Parts and decided I
didn't want any computer, that didn't have a fan. Thats what made me scrape my
nickels together and buy a Mac Pro Tower and … I love it …

You should compare that number to the number of working used iMacs on sale.
Every computer can break, but it's the ratio of breaking vs
I don't understand all the advice given in here. The simplest solution I
see to keep the old software happy would be to get a PowerMac or iMac G5.
It doesn't have to be one of the latest even, because all G5 are faster
than the eMac, and the older models are cheaper, of course.
That will have
The newest OS supported on PowerMacs is 10.5.8 and that would
probably be the recommended one. But 10.4.11 is good too and runs slightly
faster. It must be my stupid day, but someone posted that 10.6 runs on
PPC, which I can't understand either.

A tiny bit of solder and it overclocks to 1.5 GHz.
My 1.42 GHz Mini runs smooth at 1.58 GHz.
