Macs don't go obsolete very quickly - apart from the great shift over to Intel processors, of course. All the same, I know people who are running 10 year-old machines to do video editing, and while they're a bit slow, they still work. Whereas with PCs even if your hardware is still up to scratch, once Microsoft releases a new OS, you have to upgrade all of your software and your OS to keep up with all the latest drivers. It's a fucking con, really. Whereas I've plugged in memory cards from cameras that weren't even on the market when I bought my Mac and it reads the RAW files fine.
PS and it doesn't scramble the headers! grrr... I lost about 2 gig of photos because of that, was mightily pissed off. About a month's worth of street photography (I have a day job, so I accumulate slowly).
