    No...that was the Densa Commitee's thread. You know, Densa, the low-IQ society? What idiot can't see the simple Google-translation pattern in that Macbidouille paragraph?

    It will be a full tower. It will have 5 drive bays in the front + it will feature a new inovative drive for magnetic medium. Cheap in price and small and compact this medium is 3.25" in diameter and has amazing storage capacity - more than enough for easily transporting all your Word 5.0 documents. There will be a large power button on the top-front which goes click when you push it along with a couple of green LEDs which blink when the disks are working. All connectors and ports will be featured on the back of the box which will come in a nice, slightly rough shade of beigy-grey - possibly with some nice blue, curvy plastic high-lights but the jury is still out on this point.



    It'll be really kewl.



    Kroehl.





    Umm, yeah, Kroehl. An innovative magnetic storage media. Innovative. READ: No one but Mac users will bother to use it. But then, 2 years later, after Apple is onto samething bigger and better, Dell will finally use it in their machines. 8)

    Id like to see a slimline tower with a scatch metal front and glass from the sides..maybe even a glowing Apple logo that gets brighter the darker the room gets. With a glass keyboard with scratch metal keys and backlighting system. A mouse that has an ipod type touch censor to give the cursor more precision and small extra buttons for us 3d artists. I should have posted my idea first..damn

    Jonathan- you were the one that posted the announcement that criticism should be toned down on this Forum, and here you are, going against your own request of the AI community. My post was not idiotic; I was just saying that Apple usually invents a new standard and then the PC side catches on 3 years later. Not a very idiotic statement. But thank you anyway, Jonathan, for expressing your feelings so I can improve my posting in the future, if the temptation of posting a truly idiotic post comes over me.

    "Please kill yourself"?????



    Aren't admins supposed to be the ones who post calm, measured and well thought out responses to silly posts, rather than the other way around?



    I mean, really, don't you think that was uncalled for, Jonathan?

    yes, it was uncalled for.



    however, you can do nothing about it.





    Placebo: He was referring to a revolutionary new storage medium known as the floppy ****ing disk.

    I can point out how inappropriate it was, and I have....



    I have no wish to get into a pissing contest. I just feel it would be better to disagree in a more civil manner - as you have told others to do in the past.



    Though he misunderstood kroehl's joke, The guy is only trying to make a point, and extend it to the whole Mac v PC thing in general.

    Thank you, Jouster. I don't know about you guys, but the Floppydisk is not what I call a new magnetic media. I think that Silvergun meant a new media, a la Zipdisk but more capacious. But . to end this pissing contest, lets ask Silvergun what he did mean.

    Speaking of uncalled for things, this is NOT what my poll looked like originally:



    Metal, like the new powerbooks



    Metal, like the backs of the iPods



    Plastic, like the iMac base(matte)



    Pastic, like the ibook (shiny)



    Clear plastic, a la Powermac handles



    plastic/metal, like the current Powermac



    neon, with disco balls



    Placebo's mother's nether regions



    We have some perverted Mods lurking in this forum. Watch out, kids.

    you can't be serious. he was being facetious with the whole post. he essentially described an old powermac beige tower. that was the joke. didn't you get the "big enough to hold many word documents"? word documents are like 32k.

    The bill for a new keyboard and an Iiyama Vision Master Pro 510 ($work *sigh*) is in the mail. Please pay it in full within 2 weeks. This coffee I just sprayed all over both will never come out.
