  • Aparently the G5 Dual 1.8, when it was released here was cheaper or the same price as the single... though it is still overpriced. My personal theory is that Apple does not really care about their price competitiveness, who do they have to compet…

  • Persomally, aside from making your own DVDs of little Joey's first steps, I dont see a need for a SuperDrive. If u want to back-up use an external HD or an iPod (40GB) since u the musical type. The SuperDrives would be a lot harder to pass by if …

  • 2 problems with the Nomad on the Mac. 1.) Creative no longer supply drivers for it. So you have to find the old ones somewhere on the net. 2.) The drivers that do exist only work with USB. But I could be wrong.
    in Looking to buy an MP3 player, but.... Comment by lain February 2004
  • I suggest a Nomad JukeBox 3, because it has a home docking kit, with an IR Remote Control and 2 line outs for upto 4 speakers. The line out volume is fixed at maximum. I also believe that the player has a powerfull amp, this will be good for sound q…

  • It will be a lot sooner before you have to replace the G4 than the G5. So get a G5, its better value for money and will last you for ages, while the G4 will have to be replaced soon(er) and you will be faced with the same dilema all over again.

  • It is a waste of money to buy a brand new G5 and display only to sell it second hand few months later to buy a brand new mac. Id just leave the G5 at home, as time passes it will age better, the iMac is already old. If u must have an iMac... h…

  • I think u are being a little paranoid. But to make u feel better. 1.) If it indeed was used for more than just upgrades... think of it like a burn in method, at least you know all works well. 2.) The G5 u mention was only released in November …
