G5's to ship tommorrow
Hey macrumors is posting that the G5 will start shipping tommorrow. Anybody willing to bit on the possibility. The rumors are demos in stores.
Personally I'd love to see one as I've never liked the idea off buying something so revolutionary without a little hands on experience first. Well that and the fact that I'm trying to hold out for a case upgrade. It really bums me out that I can't even add a compact flash reader internally, much less anything else.
Thanks
Dave

A Toaster slot would be more useful than all those drives combined. Like, pop tart sized. Now that'd be cool! That's what they'd call it too. The Pop Tart Slot.

I think they make that as BTO for the MDD DP 1.42 when 4 HD and 2 opticals and 4 pci cards are installed. It's actually a cooling augmentation feature then.

There is a rumor going about that this feature might be made optional. On the other hand it would be a good selling point for the green movement.

The only problem with that is that there are few uses any more for any of those disk drives. On the other hand compact flash has a rather positive future due to it being adopted by all makers of professional camera systems.
Yep, but i bought one of those 6 in 1 drives that works nice enough and I can take it on the road with me and my PB.
(edit: and it does get used)

A demo is coming to my store, although it's only the 1.6 Ghz model, and the rep said that he's not getting any more machines for another week or two. But I'm still going over to check out the new gear!
go check it out
"Power Mac G5. The worlds fastest personal computer. Now shipping."
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait two more weeks for my dual 2Ghz. At least cheaper 3rd party 1gig DIMM memory is becoming available.
