Not exactly, My dad liked then back in the 90s, when they were still called the full name Macintosh, I forget what the super old one he had was called. Then he bought the Very First Imac, and then this thing came out about 6 years ago and he got it.

Anyways Its been sitting around ever since he passed so I decided to dust it off and check it out.

The big drag about these out-dated Macs are the updates for this stopped at 10.3.9, and every program I have tried to get for this thing requires at least 10.5 (which required more ram than it had), and some programs require an intel CPU, and this has a G4, so this thing is limited. But hopefully I can find some graphics programs to play with, or I might just use this thing as a Media Server behind my 42" TV in the bedroom.

Like I said before, I love my MACbook Pro and my iPhone but I realize everyone doesn't. A couple of my rules to live by....live and let live and to each his own.

I was just joshin' ya!

The only Apple product we own is our Itouch...I like it...but our oldest daughter uses it WAY more than Amanda and I ever have.

Yup I realize im not gonna change anyones mind about what they like thats not where I was going with that, and dont get me wrong I dont HATE apple. I HATE the pricing, I dont understand it at all.

And on a side note, my sister has been bugging me for a week or two about what kind of tablet to get, so I sold her my moms Ipad, and we went and replaced it with an White IPad2, pretty slick machine there.

They are expensive. But, I think some of the justifications are...

- OS upgrades only cost $29.99...forever
- ease of software sharing (no license keys)
- lack of viruses
- longevity
- dependability
- resale value
