Then you don't use them for much more than mundane stuff. Start
installing some games and lots of other apps and see how well it runs
after a year. Every OS has problems crop up eventually.
My 2005 PowerBook G4 with 10.4 is running swell. Well, except for those times
when I have to pare down the registry. Oh, wait, wrong machine....

"pare down the registry"?? Just what era do you think you're living in? Still living in the past with all the other maccies.



Last time I checked, the registry was alive and well... or at least alive and bloated.

"Bloated" - what does that mean excatly, and how is it relevent?

Should I care that my Leopard "Preferences" folders contain 1,935 items in 56.4 MB?
