Ralph While an AlBook or even a MacBook would work faster, I like older Macs both for experience and their low price. My TiBook does everything I need at a decent speed, actually it is very capable. So for now I don't see a new to upgrade.

And Ti Books still work, but the new technology is a lot more capable for graphics and emerging uses for computers. I say keep up with the times. On Mar 25, 2009, at 4:34 AM, Dr. Trevor J.
