Well it's not like your Mac is going to just

an old 7600/8600/9600-ish machine to dedicate to them.
Anymore I tend to think of three things, space, electrical
consumption, and cooling (my Sunblade 1000 fails on all counts). I
still have a PowerBook 540c (it replaced my 520c), that can run the
key app. Or I can use my 8500/180, or G4/450. The thing is, for
convenience I really need all my DTP apps on one system. At the same
time, I don't plan on moving off my G5 anytime soon, and am not sure
I'll even move off of 10.3.9.
