Thanks for the added info, joemikeb.
I do only the minimal stuff on my MBPro - emails and google searches. Occasional YouTube and Skype. Dictionary and Calculator.
I do not use it for DVDs (it has the slot drive) OR for playing music (don't even know how to use all the features iTunes has to offer). No photoshop or fancy film editing. No video games. Pretty basic usage.
So . . . I will continue along until my "old rust bucket" gives up the ghost or it can no longer handle the latest OSX updates - whichever comes first. (hehehe)
