Now that I have a few machines I will be using the family pack option from now on. Though because all the machines are mine I could use a single person upgrade next time. Though the family mac box set is a good deal for a few machines.

On the one hand, I'm not surprised. PPC hasn't shipped since 2006 ( ? )
On the other hand, Apple did support the Classic environment for a good six or more years...

Well, this is it. My PPC machine will still run 680X0 apps under emulation up to and including Tiger – that's backwards compatibility to 1985. Their backwards compatibility has all of a sudden been reduced to four years.

If you spend the best part of 2 grand on a studio workstation, you wouldn't expect to be forced to replace it in 4 years time. My machine was more powerful than I needed when I bought it and I never seem to have really used it to it's ability, and now I'm going to be forced to replace it.

Can't tick more than 1 tut!

10.5 intel at work and 10.5 ppc at home.
