And little fleas have littler fleas...

Is it time to replace a five year old PC?

It can be frustrating, and while one can understand and appreciate (but not in a good way) the commercial imperatives, in this more eco-age you really have to question why it all gets driven to upgrade and dispose on such a short window.

For example, my little Mac Mini has hummed away happily for the last few years.

The other day I was told of a useful new software called Bento from FileMaker that would be a nifty assist to what I do.

Unfortunately, it only works with Leopard. So at the very least I have to make that upgrade from my current Tiger system.

Thing is, Leopard pretty much pushes the hardware I have to the edge of its capabilities so to move on I have to get a whole new box.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
