My thoughts exactly. Most would say I'm "limping" along with a 6 year old computer, yet it serves me just fine. I'm not a novice when it comes to computers, and I'd be willing to bet I can accomplish more with this old hunk of junk than those who seemingly need "bleeding edge" technology.
A faster computer doesn't make you any better, nor does it allow you to do things you couldn't do before. I can cut video on this old machine just as good as anyone on a G5 could -- sure, they can probably render it faster, but the speed at which the actual "work" takes place is dependent on the skill of the operator.
Would I like to have a G5 PowerBook? Most definitely. Do I need one? Most definitely not. I've heard a lot of people threatening to "jump ship" on Apple if the G5 PowerBook doesn't make it soon... why? They just gotta learn the difference between "want" and "need." You need food. You need water. You need air. You don't need a PowerBook G5.
