I probably have purchased my last Macintosh. I have a goodly

10 enough to
learn it.
I'm a B&W user (bought used). I bought a second video card, and 2nd
matching monitor. I added a SATA disk, and 1Gb of RAM. I have a Belkin
wireless network card installed. It runs 10.3.9, MS office and a couple
of other packages I like. It's helped me become more UNIX savy, and
works well in a mixed PC/UNIX work environment. Of course YMMV. The h/w
only matters up to a point, then it's the s/w. In fact very cheap s/w
(when you can find it) is the best think about vintage Macs. It's what
keeps the cost down.
I'm not into games, music or surfing the web.
So what are you into? What would you want in a new Apple product?
