    X2! Been using Mac for work for decades also, 1 bad harddrive in that time, out of 18 computers.
    Don't have the program not responding error ever!!
    It asks if I want to upgrade so and so, about once a month, maybe. If I tell it not now, it actually obeys!!!

    I got the problem solved or just jumped in to another one. Went and bought a new Mac and did not load Windows 7 on it. It's a little scary. Everything including the tower is built into the monitor that is less than 1/2 inch thick. I got 3 pieces, a monitor, mouse and keyboard. All wireless. Crossing my fingers.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    If I upgrade it will be a Mac. Bought my daughter a Mac Laptop when she started college. Been using it 5 years and only problem was battery died after 4 years.

    Sounds like you got yourself an iMac, stormcloud. Congratulations. I'm on my second, the first lasted 9 years. If you do not need to run Windows-only applications, then you won't need Windows 7.
