Normally, I purchase new computers each year, oh say 4, but this year I decided to upgrade all of our Macs and have been very, very pleased with the results. All of our Macs now have a minimum of 40 mb of ram and all can now handle the latest versions of Netscape/Explorer and the various software products now on the market. And...with the extra $7,000 or so saved, we have been able to purchase other needs for the lab such as videos, video camrecorders, tape players, etc... I'm rather glad that we took a breather from purchasing new equipment and trusted our older macs to perform even better with a bit of a booster shot! One draw back...I purchased the memory for the macs this summer when prices were 50-75% cheaper than they are now, what with the earthquake in Taiwan. So, should you decide to upgrade, you may want to find out when prices may be going down....
