I am now officially macless, I sold my G4 & we gave our iMac to my parents and I'm waiting for my G5 to arrive.
I'm not one who usually cares if something like a computer is delayed, but even though I'm using a 3gig PC with all the bells and whistles it aint a Mac & I'm getting antsy.
Certainly not a big deal but reading all these "I got my G5 posts" is suddenly getting to me!
Well! I feel flattered! I guess I must be more articulate than I previously gave myself credit for. Suddenly I feel like Einstein.
Yes, I did buy that computer with my hard earned money, and my parents probably wouldn't have picked up the tab otherwise. I do confess that my mother (a highscool librarian) helped with her faculty discount. But otherwise, the computer was bought with my money.
My dad made me buy Applecare, though, and now I don't have enough cash for Cinema 4D. But I'll be able to get enough money somehow. Maybe weedle $150 out of them both.
And... If someone notes my likeness to Harry Potter one more time, I'll have to buy some hornrimmed glasses.
EDIT: Thanks for the cropping, Amorph. I scaled my pics, but forgot to clip the canvas accordingly.

Why on Earth would you buy Cinema 4D? Seriously, it's mediocre.
1) Academicsuperstore.com
2) There are better products for cheaper, especially if you're a newbie to 3D. Get something like Carrara first. Then I'd personally recommend Electric Image or FormZ (or both) depending on where you're interests lie.

The modeling capabilities of C4D are vastly inferior to the ones in FormZ 4.0. The rendering and animation, vastly inferior to what's in EI. I've used them all. I don't see what's the fuss about C4D. . . On second thought, I've never really heard any fuss about C4D.
It's used in some videogames, and maybe a few TV series, but EI and FormZ are just so much more distinguished and cost about the same. EI is a freakin' steal, considering that it's animation capabilities are pretty extraordinary. There are things EI Animator is capable of that are truly mind-blowing.

1 hour, HA!
With G5 pics on it, that account isn't coming back.
Good pictures too.
There's a bit of a Harry Potter kind of look going on there.

I know, that's what I thought too.
But if you look at his profile, it lists his age as '13,' yet the posts and purchases seem to fit an older person.

Beat me too it. Man, I thought I was mature and literate at 13. Of course that was during the Carter administration.

Just a well-spoken, got-his-act-together 13-year-old. With a very cool computer, no less.
Still, how on earth was he able to afford a computer like that at 13? Did his parents buy it? Ahhh...so confused..
Dammit, you are all going to hell!
Grrr....

My new G5 also just arrived. You can check out my pics of its birth at:

Haha, an expert has spoken!

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not.

Are you sure about that? (You shouldn't be.)
