I hate buying new computers as they just remind me that computer technology has become disposable. I have to buy a new computer every 3 years but my M3 is good to go for 50 years and counting. I'll probably switch to digital for a few months as those files are invariably smaller. I wish digital cameras were as fun as film cameras. Thanks again, Don.

Jeffery, Wait until the first of the year. Microsoft will be shipping their new operating system and dealers will want to move old stocks not pre-loaded with the new OS and the machines with the new OS will be hot to trot as January is not a big computer sales month. So, if you can wait, deals will abound. There will be a lot of fire sales before January but if you do bite make sure it will run the new OS or you will be buying obsolete before you even plug it in. True 64 bit OS is coming soon to a computer near you and it will make PS much happier. Won't do much for URL's running long or hair loss but hey...
