That still depends, really!  Our G3/333 Lombard, vintage 1999, with 64 
MB RAM running OS 9.1 is still doing its job for my wife on her 
genealogy research trips, the application being Reunion 5.  Its only 
"upgrade" is a wireless PC card.

Our main machine is a Quicksilver G4/733 with Panther 10.3.9, and I 
eventually broke down my resistance to buy my own genealogy laptop.  
It's an iBook  G4/1.33 using Reunion 8 with Tiger 10.4.9.  I'll need to 
get an Intel iMac this year to deal with some Windows-only CDs.

But we do not see a need yet to replace the old Lombard.  Maybe if I 
run my car over it?
