I interpreted your post as friendly concern rather than judgement. :)

Fair enough.  I could save the time I would have spent putting up my 
Logic Audio Big Box and M-Audio interfaces (Firewire 410 - which I 
originally got for my iBook to try to alleviate its struggles with 
FM7 and Numerology - didn't work; and Delta 66 - for recording on my 
PowerMac G4 - still in the box because I hadn't gotten around to 
recording audio yet) on eBay and replacing them with a MOTU 828MkII 
and DP by simply sticking with what I have.  And as you allude, it 
could be valuable time indeed.
