  • Actually I foresee a simplification of the current iMac case design. The arm adds lots of cost and the very compact case dimensions also add cost. I think it is possible the new iMac may get a G5 due to the instability of Motorola SPS ad the rapid s…

  • Here it is folks the new iMac, it recovers the sleek all in one nature of is predecessor, the 'gumdrop' G3 model with plenty of Space for a G5 processor, a revolutionary oval display (Jobs: "The human eye is round, not square") and an "obsolesc…

  • Yes, it's real. The Apple Tablet. It'll come with Dual Gobi Processors. The tagline will be: "take two and call me in the morning"

    in Avoid Pixo Displays! Comment by bobthetomato October 2003
  • It used to be that Macs had pretty high quality power supplies. I know with my 68k Macs PCs and home appliances would be restarted by a dip in power but the Mac'd keep chugging. It wasn't anything like 10 seconds though, just when the power would bl…

  • If you have OS X installed perhaps holding option down at startup might help. might also try DOCS delete Option Command Shift at startup to boot from CD

    in Is Apple Creating a Pink Panther? Comment by bobthetomato June 2003

    in Introducing the G5 Mini (?) Comment by bobthetomato June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo The G5 is better, both because of its processor/bus speeds, but even more so because of the fact that it is "futureproofed", and includes all the new technologies (USB 2.0, AGP 8X, etc.) But if it were my decis…
    in G4 Dual 1.25 vs G5 Single 1.6? Comment by bobthetomato June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB If we believe what is said here, Panther requires DP 867 or better, and DP1GHz is recommended. This probably holds only for the developer preview version. I recall the new Quicktime codec wants a 1 Ghz G4 to d…

  • Quote: Originally posted by yzedf I 2nd that. Handles look like they are only there for one reason; so it is not a blatant PC case with cheese grater look. IMO, YMMV Actually from head on they make it look more like a cheese grater

  • Quote: Originally posted by Luca Rescigno Through my school, I managed to configure a barebones 1.6 GHz G5 for $1619. No modem (no need), Combo drive, and educational discount. Also, I can get a single 1.25 GHz G4 w/o modem for $1171. But that…
    in Wasn't the 970 Supposed to be Cheaper? Comment by bobthetomato June 2003
  • I think the new PowerMac is going to put a lot of downward pressure on the i/eMac pricing as well as against used machines and upgrade cards. One way or another we'll be able to find cheap (relatively) fast Macs very soon. With a $1299-1499 G5 wh…
