I've been an Apple user since the ][+ I got in 1977.  I've never bought
an Intel machine for myself, although I earned my living for quite a few
years supporting them (Windoze 3.0 through NT 4)  I agree with most of
what Andy wrote....however.

Older upgraded Mac can NOT run OSX.  According to Apple, their new OS
requires a native G3 or G4 machine.  Older Power Macs with upgraded
processor cards need not apply.
