yippy? Sorry, I couldn't resist as I do not understand why people do not upgrade/replace old software.

you don't understand? how about because not everyone has 4 or five grand to update all their software to run on whatever new thing apple wants everyone to move to?

How about not upgrading because what I have now suits my needs exactly and the newer version doesn't add anything that I give a flip about?

Photoshop's a good example. PS7 suits me fine. No new features since then have been particularly exciting enough to upgrade. About the only thing I care about that got me using CS2 at work is that I'm told I can work in rectangular pixels instead of square pixels, for DVD graphics, but I only just installed CS2 yesterday and haven't tried that yet.

My PC still has Windows 2000, and is stable and happy that way. My Macs only got upped to Tiger last month, and only because some progs require it now. I'm perfectly happy with Panther.

How about old software that doesn't exist anymore, but is more useful (or cheaper, since I own it already) then current software

not everyone is a snob, i guess that's the reason. besides there's something mystic about those old macs...
