KidRed you can't possible have a new G4 since, as I shouted at you last week, Apple won't release new Power Macs before Feb. 1!
Man, first I jumped on you about that display promo, then I jumped on poor time, I think I better check my humility dipstick 'cause I'm at least a quart low.
And seriously, congrats on an awesome system. I suspect I'll be making a trek to the Apple store this weekend. That display promo is just too good to pass up.
Dang, I'm more impressed by your Cinema Display than by your dualie.
I was in Fry's on Sunday with my brother, who manages an Office Depot and has 3 Windows machines at home (he was returning one of their POS build-your-own kits that had a bad floppy and bad ethernet). Fry's had a nice display up front with 3 different machines -- a Sony w/17" LCD, some other PC (I think an HP) w/15" LCd, and a Powermac w/ Cinema Display. There were actually more people checking out the Mac and especially the Cinema Display, than the other machines. Even my brother had to admit that the Cinema Display was the nicest LCD he's ever seen (of course he's used to looking at beige Princetons and Samsungs).

I was there on Sunday too!! I thought it was cool how they had the G4 and cinema display connected to a firewire camera so people could see themselves. I stood there looking at it for like 5 minutes. Then I went to the mac section, turned the iMac promo movie on on one of the PowerBooks (since there were no iMacs) and proceeded to stare at the $1799 cube they had in the corner of the section.
May I request a Quake III 1.31 demo score please?! I will be getting the 933 in the next few weeks. But I would really appreciate those demo scores. I bet Q3 flies on that speedster.
I dig the cinema display. I ordered a new iMac....but you still managed to give me processor envy, especially since you have yours now and I still have to wait. "Now shipping" my eye. Oh well, maybe next week.
Thanks guys. It will look a lot nicer real soon. I just about finished grabbing everything off my other G4. I finally got the sound sticks to work in 9 ( Apple Audio Extention) wasn't installed.
Where can I get the cenebench thing?
The pics weren't great but the one with the monitor and coke can close up, I was trying to show how fricking big the icons in X get when they set to their largest on the cinema display. I couldn't belive how huge they were.

But your setup on the other hand..

Beats the heck outta my B/W G3.

Maybe they'll do a dual ghz TiBook (dreaming, I know) I really want a Powerbook, I think.
(gotta hold out till July, gotta hold out till July...)
