The following views expressed are my own and do not necessarily make
sense.

Since I bought my skinny, colorless mac a lot of new stuff has been
coming out or rumored to be coming.  Now it seems, the going price for
my used mac is slightly less than $1200 if I believe the classifieds.
Now my question is this, does anyone have advice on whether we should
sell our macs, upgrade (throw good money after bad), or wait till the
competition catches up and then take more of a loss by selling then, or
love it and keep it as it is.  I prefer the last but I'm concerned.  It
seems that this GEM based stuff I hear about is slightly inferior to
what the mac runs.  However, I haven't seen the commodore amiga yet or
the atari one.  Spare me the highly detailed technical stuff but what
do the pros and cons look like on the balance sheet?
