Technology Stocks : Apple Inc. -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I cn understand. I think it all depends on how desperately you need to upgrade, why you need to upgrade, and how long you typically wait to upgrade. I desperately needed to upgrade (small screen for my 55+ eyes which was not a problem at 48, and slowing response for even simple operations) and I am a buy and hold type for computers.
I think it will be interesting to see if there is any backward compatibility with new software. I fully expect iLife and other Apple developed software to be compatible for more than three years. Not sure about third party software, though.

I almost upgraded this year; if I had, I'd be so pissed off right now, I can't tell you.

I couldn't disagree more. I just upgraded last month to an iMac G5. This was to replace a G4 Cube that lasted 6 years. I can't imagine the iMac not lasting just as long if not longer. By then, this transition will be long past. I can't think of a better time to buy a G5. It's not like the software stops working tomorrow.
