Your running Quark and Photoshop on a G3? That just has to be abusive just to watch.
Speaking as a winders geek, I need a hardware upgrade everytime I turn around. I've built my own systems for years and don't even bother with covers on my systems anymore. More memory, new video card, bigger hard drives as often as I can afford it.
Just so the solitare cards keep cascading down quickly.
Maybe you can get one of the new MacTel MacMinis that will be out soon. They are going to be cheap enough.
I'm way past due for a new machine. Every time I've about made up my mind, something new (Intel Mac) pops up. One of these days soon, I'm going to pull the trigger. My wife says just get something that has lots of expansion capabilities, even if it costs more to begin with.
I need to be running InDesign, too, and be able to have all my graphics apps open at the same time. And give Folding@Home more to work with.
