Hey gang, been watching this thread closely. I have a 2008 Imac 21" that has been fantastic, trouble free and a joy to use. I'm not sure if it's developed an issue, but I've recently tried, on 2 occasions, to install 2 programs and each failed to open when launched. Both looked to be compatible with my os. Other than these 2 occasions, it's been trouble free.
It's still running Leopard 10.5.8 as I've never updated it. I was thinking about maybe taking it in and having apple update to the newest operating system, but then I started to think I'm better off just buying a newer imac as this one is nearing 5 years old, and it's due for a hard drive failure, or possibly something else.
I was reading online and it doesn't look that hard to just do an erase/re-install of the current operating system, something I'd never try myself on a pc. Looks doable for a non-techy such as myself.
Do you think it's time for an upgrade or should I just dump a bit of $ into em ole imac? Thanks in advance.
Steve
