[Ham-Mac] iMac crash

[Robert C. Smithwick]

Chris - is it? I'm unsure.

I think I'll "stick" w/ my old 19 inch G4. Fast enough for me, and 
loads of memory and all the features I use and need. If you used the 
older model and now have the Intel/G-5, do you notice a huge 
improvement? Would you strongly recommend an update for me??
