  • Here is my problem with Spymac....(besides the iWalk annoyance). They spout off an amazing number of rumors - which is fine, that is what you do on a rumor site. But what is silly is that they generate tons of rumors, and then when something i…
  • OK, a couple of (weak-ish) pieces of evidence wrt updates on the iMac. 1. The Apple iMac Update that they mail out. They were touting the GeForceMX2, and how powerful blah blah blah. Importantly (?), they specifically state that the MX2 is re…
  • Actually, the new powermacs rotate into the main picture on Apple's front page, not simploy as a footnote - try reloading a few times. Fish
  • [quote] So have yourself a big helping of "grow-the-fu*k-up" OK? followed by: [quote] PS - Atlanta is a snarled, traffic-ridden shithole of a town, but I imagine it suits you well. You do see the irony here, don't you? Fish
  • The power/ports on the back is the ONLY thing I don't like. Still, I am ordering the top model, so I cannot complain too much. Fish
  • well, I may not be objective about this, but I don't think that suggesting it *might* be Canadian dollars makes someone an idiot.
  • OK, one more comment about the price...I am still confused, because I agree that, if those prices are canadian dollars, they seem too low, at least for the top end. But...the article compares the top-end iMac at $1800 to the Dell Dimension 8200…
  • yeah, good point...the high end seems too low to be $Canadian, but then, the low end seems too high to be $US. We'll see tomorrow! Fish
  • This is likely prices listed in Canadian dollars...they list the entry-level iMac as 1299, which would be roughly $800 US, which makes sense, yes? After all, it IS Timecanada. Fish
  • I'm not saying one way or the other (although, with apologies to Fran, I hope it is fake, as I have no need for a PDA). However, "iwalk" does not currently show up as a registered trademark...read into that what you will. Fish
  • OK, here is my take on it....the character in the movie is dubious about the guy's authenticity, so she baits him by intentionally saying things that would make no sense ot him if he *really* were a computer guy. Which suggests to me that both th…
  • My wife, who is a very smart, rational scientist, was blindly devoted to her tangerine imac, and only could be convinced to upgrade when I found a great deal on ....yup, a flower-power imac. So, certainly some people (perhaps a minority) are happ…
  • Definitely buying whatever the top-end powermac is (for my lab). iMac depends on the specs - G4 would make it definite, g3 would be iffy. Fish
  • I am doubtful that the iMac will have a G4. I suspect the Sahara rumors are more likely. That said, if it ends up with a G3, I will probably not get one, while I would buy one the day they come out if it has a G4. Even with a 1 ghz G3, I would …
