    I don't know what your talking about, but Kormac has never known anything, and has been shitting into your collective mouths for two years now.

    Sometimes I have problems with your syntax. Are you ripping the pi$$ out of me, Mr. or JYD???

    I'm pretty sure he meant "both of you, go blow goats"

    Bleh, how many times does this have to be reviewed? Wait for Macworld NY - simple as that. Then you'll have your G5s.

    If you think of Kormac as a God, then you have my condolences. You obviously have very low expectations of your Gods.

    It should be you he worships, right?

    My, aren't you bitchy today? There's no reason to be an ass, if you think Kormac is a real insider then just convince me. If you can't do it rationally then STFU.

    My God!



    The Profanity!!



    We are all Mac users, right?



    Just checking, thought I'd wandered onto a "PCs Rulez" forum for minute.

    1 GHz for those with too much money in their pockets and merely 800 MHz for the rest of us. And even better: no L3 cache in the low-end configuration and NO APOLLO, i.e. no increased performance per clock.



    This thing is slow like a sub $600 PC (yes, except for Photoshop) and twice as expensive. Well done, reality-distortion-field G5(tm), this is insanely great.



    I wait for G5s in 2003 (not really).

    I wouldn't call these things slow, but they could be faster. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    You're not too far off the mark with G5. G5 is *not* going to appear in Apple machines before 2003. I'd be willing to bet on it.

    An 800 MHz G4 is not as slow as a sub $600 PC under any circumstance. Jesus, some people actually are fooled by the megahertz myth. Think of it as a clock. The G4 does more per tick than a shitty Pentium 3 800 Mhz PC, with no expandability.



    The Powermacs are now priced very reasonably and have good specs (not great).

    You seem a little bitter, applenut. Do you wanna talk about it?

    I think most of us are pretty disappointed with the little speed bump we've been given.



    I for one am holding out for something better.

    To get back on topic:



    I think, since Apple just bumped the PowerMac line, G5's next week are pretty unlikely. Hmmm... unless you're reading this during the last week in March.

    I hate to say this, but maybe you're right



    From what I've heard, the new G4 would be released and G5 would be announced soon after (like the next day) for the pro 3D users. This G5 thing has dragged on for a couple of weeks now and i'm starting to doubt myself.



    To my knowledge, the G5 is ready to roll, so I must assume something else is holding up the release.



    Maybe it's the case? <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    Perhaps we should get Kormac to chime in here and see what he knows.
