That is a good point. I would hate to see my G3-600mhz orphaned by Leopard. I am also worried that my G4-400mhz will also be dropped. Both machines have been workhorses. They have paid for themselves over and over. However I don't really have the bucks to move up to the newer machines at this time. Sure I could buy a lower end Mac but I really require a tower and a laptop. So from my perspective I am looking at roughly five or six thousand dollars of expenditures. I use it primarily for writing and photography and some limited video renditions. I guess I will have to start saving up. Bill
