    Not about to replace my 2 G5's until Adobe releases Universal Photoshop and Illustrator, but I'll probably get an iMac when the next one comes out (to be used for video editing) and recording stuff in GarageBand... I need a good "fun" computer, not just my work ones.

    It might be 120gb or 150gb. I think I made a mistake. 8)

    Apple's largest drive option is 120GB for the MacBook's.. so I'm guessing it's that.



    Anyone here planning on buying a MacPro?

    There are no 150 or 180 GB 2.5-inch drives. There are 160 GB ones, and there will soon be a 200 GB one.



    The highest option Apple offers is 120 GB.

    I have an iBook G4, 512 MB, 40 GB HD, running Tiger v.10.4.7. It's my baby.



    I dream of having enough money to get my iBook an Intel sister.

    start making wedding videos! thats how I've paid for my macs in the past.. DV camera was the best thing I ever purchased!



    full time job helps too, but money from that always lands on loans, bills, etc.. I figure if you're making money on your mac, on the side, that money should be reinvested in new gear.

    You could always set up a "buy Mac_Doll a Mac_Book" website, get everyonr to toss a dollar into the pot, and bingo... Just promise a pic or video of something stupid/goofy, like you hugging your new Macbook or something...hell, a guy got a $5000 G5 editing rig by blowing up his G4...





    If that accually works, please keep the scam going long enough to get me one too

    I think the biggest upgrade, speed wise, was going from my 1MHZ IIe to a 4.77 MHZ PC that also had a turbo button for 8MHZ. My last purchase upgrade was from 550MHZ TI PB to my current 1.5GHZ PB. That IIe rocked playing Choplifter.

    iBook G4 1GHz... still great for a lot of things, but unfortunately I'm getting more into editing home videos and such and it's a dog for that. I can't see an upgrade in the near future as the budget doesn't allow it

    a_greer: I remember that guy. Sorry, that's too asinine. I could never blow up a Mac.. poor Macs... I'll just save up for one.



    For comedy's sake though, the only thing I could think of that'd top blowing one up is not blowing one up... and instead pose nude with the new Mac and post it up on the site as a little "thank you."

    eMac 1 GHz for day to day and a trusty old Apple IIe for a little fun on the side.

    I just get a kick out of playing with the Phaser audio software and drawing shapes with the Turtle programming on the IIe.



    Cool thing is that the IIe is still the most reliable system I've ever had. I can't even remember ever having a problem with it.

    Oh, what a fun idea! I could even have my "bits" resting on top of the the screen part.

    MacBook Pro 2.16 from a TiBook G4 667



    15.4 inch glossy screen-- much improved

    1gb of ram-- from 768mb

    100gb 7200 rpm hard drive-- from an 80gb 5400 rpm replacement drive



    It's quite snappy.

    Or, just to keep it "everybody freindly" you could use the two apple stickers and have the laptop on the (ahem) laptop...

    Just bought an Intel iMac 20". Best computer ever made. It is the perfect mix of pro power and consumer utility. There is nothing Apple can present that would make me want to upgrade my hardware for at least a couple of years. The iPod, on the other hand...
