I also agree Adonsa, I've been out in the PC (UNIX not Windows) wilderness for a good many years now due to circumstances beyond my control, but I am now coming back. I owned a PowerMac 5500 and PowerBook 520 with great pride. One thing I was always proud of was as a Mac user, it didn't matter what one you had. Even in 1997 I visited an estate agent who still used his original Mac (the first one) with great pride and had no need to upgrade. The immature -must upgrade constantly- thing is something I only experienced in the PC world.
I'm a little disappointed to read some posts here which bash older models or non-G5s, I think some people are either caught-up in that PC mentality or are from younger age ranges and cannot appreciate anything unless it's bleeding edge. I feel some elitism in some posts regarding the eMac and Mac mini, shame on you who engage in this. Shame on anyone who tries to make another Apple user feel inferior.
Bottom line: Any Apple product no matter how old, is something to take a little pride in, if it serves you and enables you to do what you want, never feel ashamed for it. I'm ashamed of the attitude you received, this isn't what being an Apple user should be like.
In 2000 I worked for a while helping a friend in his PC shop in a small village, a Mac user brought their Mac in for a repair, I told him it was a pleasure and an honour to fix his Mac. In fact, I didn't charge.
