   Do you by any chance know if that's an intel based or a motorola based CPU   
   mac?  2009 could go either way.  The amazing thing about Macs that I have   
   experienced is that they do have great longevity.  Before I became disabled   
   and knew I had trouble I bought a really nice Mac Pro (the one that looks like   
   the round trashcan) with the intel xenon processor.  It will probably be the   
   last new computer I will ever have.   
      
   Last October, my brother passed away, and I inherited his nice Dell laptop   
   which I am currently running my BBS on.   
      
   I also have a couple of older e-machines that I'm going to load linux on,   
   unfortunately they have been stored in a garage that was not climate control   
   so I'm not expecting them to work.  If they work it will be great.
