    I've an old Quadra 800 which I really can't find a use for. I can't connect it to the web, can't get a USB card for it and can't get a printer for it. Whats it good for these days. I've had if from new so I don't want to dump it. Its running 7.5 at the moment.

    I also have a 9500 which I saved from the dump in my last job. I was going to upgrade so I could run OSX on it just to play with it but I'm wondering is it worth all the effort?

    What Mac app makes you keep your mac?

    Seriously though, it was the lack of a killer app that made me finally give in and move to the dark side :(
