I'm going to buy a new Mac. I'd like to know what the hell I'm doing before that AND I need something to run my classic programs for a bit.
As example, I rely on one classic program that has just become available for X. The X version is an $800 upgrade.
So it not the cost of the hardware, its the lack of experience w/X AND the horror stories I've heard over the years AND the software upgrade cost that have kept me from doing this before.
I'm a little step kind of person. I figure if I can get a bit use to X on an old machine, I can justify the 5 grand or so I estimate the changeover will eventually cost me.
