i get a new machine, these days just laptops, every 4-5 years. i like to get the max amount of time out of any purchase. i'll probably upgrade to 10.5 next year so i have it on both my Ti500 and my Alum1.5, but that's about it. maybe a random software upgrade here and there, but i agree, the upgrade merry go round is a bit too fast. :) part of me wishes that the tech. would reach the ceiling on GHz so the hype would finally die down. (yes, something else would take its place.) go luddites, go !!!
