MacPro over PowerMac?

[Firefly2002]

That's pretty much an exaggeration. I use the PowerMac G5 PRIMARILY for internet, e-mail and word processing, but I do have about 50 photographs, 20 songs, and a few games. However, I get the point! I don't really need a MacPro for what I do, and I thank everyone for the advice.

*Coughs politely*

I have about 500 songs and over 5,000 photographs on my Beige G3, and it handles them just fine. I don't think 50 pictures and 20 tunes is need for alarm.

Well now the Centris 610 was costly for its time. I paid $2520 for one in 1993 money. A Mac Pro looks very inexpensive compared to the Centris 610.

I'm a little confused... how is a machine that starts at $2800 and ranges to well over $3500 (upgraded RAM, HDD, etc) cheap compared to one that cost $2520? Even adjusted for inflation....

I think he meant price of the current base Mac Pro at $2799 USD, then adjust for 15 years of inflation.
