"Well when I go to PC stores like CompUSA and see a small section just for MAC's and the rest of the store for generic PC's you wonder; also the software section is a tenth of what is there for PC's. I also understand that MAC's are not backward compatible????? Like old software doesn't run on newer MAC's????"

I'm running a G5 duel 2 gigz running OSX 10.3.8 , and as we speak, I'm starting WordPerfect. That's pretty old software. It is running under Classic(OS9).

So old software does run on newer macs.

It's not "running" in the classic sense. It's being emulated. So your performance and mileage may vary.
