My primary setup is a Imac G5 and I have a Dell laptop for work. My wife has always used Macs, but I switched our main PC to mac late last year. All is well, except I haven't found an acceptable replacement the MS Money which I have used for 12 yrs, therefore I continue to use it on my laptop now.

I was thinking about 2 solutions, first I could sell my G5 isight and replace with new Intel Imac or I could get a Intel mini and connect to it via ethernet or remote desktop to run MS money. I have VPC, but the speed is terrible.

I think the the first solution is the cleanest, but I just bought the Imac isight and selling now would cost me. I'm just looking for your thoughts.

Thanks

I don't think it would cost you any more than buying a $600 Mac mini. Macs hold their value well. If you've got a decent rating on eBay, give it a shot.
