Spending $150 a year on your Mac would pay easily for Mac OS X, which would (as many have noted) solve your problem. And leave you with $450 to upgrade both your memory and your CPU.Well, I'm sorry that you're in this situation, but you ARE using four-year-old technology. You shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't handle modern content. Switch to a four-year-old version of Windows with a four-year-old browser and run it on four-year-old hardware and see how many modern sites break. A goodly few, I'll reckon.I'm not trying to be smug. And your problem is not that your Mac is four years old. It's that your technology is four years old, and you're trying to make use of modern content. The fact is that the Web changes quickly, and new content needs new user clients. Four years old is pretty darn old.Now, I'm running on a beige G3 266 that is substantially older than your iMac, and it peps along just fine, OS X, EN World, the whole shebang. So your iMac is plenty new enough. Sorry if I'm coming across as smug, or giving the impression that I think you don't know stuff. Neither is intentional, I assure you. I just don't think you're making a fair comparision.Browsing modern content on OS 9 is an exercise in frustration. Javascript support and CSS support are shaky, rendering is slow and clunky and the browsers are error-prone. Browsing on OS X is a dream. I work on Windows and at home I'm on OS X and there's no question in my mind that I get better results on my Mac.So to recap: I'm not saying your Mac is too old. I'm saying your technology is too old. If you were able to spend one-fourth what you've spent on your PC on your Mac, your problems would be solved.</blockquote>
