Digital BW, The Print

Are you sure your old machine is (as you advertise) a Mac Pro?  I suspect
it¹s just a PPC G5.

Hey Bob-

Good question!  I have found that, with the exception of adding ram
and additional (read larger!) drives, it's just not worth it. This is
a great machine for the photographer working on their own photos, for
files up to a few hundred megs. My work involves daily preparation of
photos and painting reproductions, often files over a gig, day in and
day out. There's just no way this machine can be upgraded to even come
close to the new macs.

I tend to buy computers 1 generation behind the latest and greatest- I
have found that for my own work, that gives me the best bang for the
buck. As I said, if I were a photographer working on my own images,
and did not have money to burn on the newest computer, I would
definitely buy this from myself!    ;^)
