[MacDV] Apple abandons the G3 chip

[Ryan Sutter]

Um...  No.  I spent $1200 on my bondi iMac but I don't expect it to be able to still handle all my computing needs.  It does what it can do.  It has limits.  All machines do.  If I wish to go beyond those limits, I need a different computer.  No computer can ever be expected to continue to run everything that comes out in the future and by computer standards a B&W G3 is ancient.  Keep it and use it within it's limits and know when to move on or sell it and put it towards a newer machine (a used G4 tower can be reasonably had).  You haven't lost a bunch of money, you've spent it wisely on years of use.  It's time to invest in another 5 years of use out of another machine. Since 1997 I've gone through a 7200, iMac, G4/400 and currently use a TiBook.  I sold the 7200 and G4/400, gave the iMac to my kid and use the TiBook every day even though I intend to replace it when there is a G5 Powerbook.  I don't consider a penny of the money I've spent wasted.  Each machine served me well within it's capabilities.  The iMac still works fine for my kid.  What is there to complain about?

Hey,

With iLife 04' and Final Cut Express 2 I see my Blue and White G3 is 
officially rendered useless. That is a pity. I spent so much on my 
system:(

PS: Anyone here feel the same?
