Good Day,

	Snow leopard is great on my ONE intel box but I too have 4 G4 an 1 G5  
machine.  Snow leopard does not run on any of them but I have leopard  
on all the others to include my g4 cube.    Bottom line, is the G4/G5  
doing what you need to do or not?  Mine still are useful machines and  
I see them as such for as long as they run.   Will I buy more g4/g5  
systems?  Sure if the price is right and I have a use for one.  But my  
goal is the eventual replacement of almost all of them with Intel as I  
upgrade my intel box to the next generation, which I do every 3-5  
years.  My G5 is still going as my wife's machine and she does not  
care that it is dual processor 2.3 ghz and 6 gb ram, she cares that it  
does what she needs.   My two dual processor quicksilvers are still  
online one running g4 server for me to play with and the other for  
video editing using my formac device that will NOT run on the intel  
box.  My g4 laptop gets the least use but I keep it running for those  
emergencies.  So either you are happy with your machine and the os it  
can run or not.  Apple is going to do what most companies should do,  
support old hardware for a reasonable time and then move on so that  
they can innovate and cut the bottom line, support to antiquated  
hardware.   Once Apple Care runs out, your hardware is almost done as  
far as apple is concerned, that is a hint that you should be saving  
for the upgrade.  ; )

	Abraham
