Hi

Not sure what "long in the tooth" means exactly related to your present 
computer.  However I know what you mean about the attractiveness of the Mac 
computers and Apple products in general.  Your present computer seems to be 
filling the bill  for you at the present time (ham wise) and it must also 
fill family needs (apparently).  I suggest leaving the present computer in 
its 'HAM' role in the shack (some upgrades may be possible) and going to a 
Mac computer of some kind.  It will be primarily the 'family' computer and 
will give you the opportunity to explore its HAM potential in more 
detail.  It is always a positive thing learning to use a different 
operating system.  In the end you will have some answers to your questions, 
a good family computer, and a dedicated computer in the shack.

Which Mac computer to buy is a different question.
