Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison I'm still not seeing a lot of PCI-Express cards so I'm not too sure that it's still that much of a big deal. PCI-X is still the favorite amongst many cardmakers. I have my doubts right now that someone w…

Quote: Macintosh keyboards shipped without the 10-key extension for years and years. I think it premiered on the Extended II keyboard. Actually, the Plus came with a keyboard with a 10-key keypad (or at least it was an option...)

Quote: Originally posted by onlooker PCI-X is practically standard on build your own system mobo's. Tyan, Asis, everybody has it. I don't know if DELL, HP, or any of the pre-builts are using it, but I've never looked before. Huh? A quick sea…

Quote: I agree, I don't think the price point allows for a G5. Uh, G5s are actually cheaper than G4s... I'd be surprised if price is what's really holding Apple back from putting a G5 in the eMac. If a G5 eMac is on the backburner, I'd imagine…

Quote: Here's a logic question for all those that say that the next-gen of iMac3 will likely have a better GPU. What logic do you have to support this claim? If Apple believes the current offering is sufficient to meet the demands of it's target co…

Edu iMacs have been released-- like the low end 17", except they don't have an optical drive. Priced at $1099 (IIRC), and the eMac is still being sold... The eMac is going to be around at least until Apple can replace it with an iMac at the eMac…

If it were possible to add the factory bluetooth module after you've purchased the machine, I'd say leave it as an option. Using a USB dongle might be acceptable for desktops, but it's not for laptops. too easy for the thing to snap off. It'd be …

Quote: Bluetooth is 'neat' but useful to very few other than gadget toting techno-weenies like us. So is optical audio out, or audio in, for that matter-- very few people use it, and it would make the machine (marginally) cheaper to exclude them…

Quote: Thats why iMac lcd and emac have been selling so poorly, Actually, the eMac sold 180k units last quarter. That's pretty good considering the performance the machine has... Read chunglee's post-- he gets it spot on (pretty good for a fi…

Quote: The most practical, and realistic, designs are going to employ some kind of "chimney" because that heat has to escape...and the heat is orders of magnitude higher than yer G4 is going to put out. Wow. Orders of magnitude higher? So if a…

Quote: Anyway we'll never see a cheap headless mac, Apple is not Dell... "Cheap" is < $2k? It's 2004, folks, not 1996. Not having a headless machine between $1k & $2k is a hole in Apples lineup big enough to drive a truck through... …

Quote: That's because, in the PC world, product demand drives design. I disagree. PC design is driven by it being a comodity market. With few exceptions, everything is interchangable with PCs... That really doesn't even apply to Macs (No way, …

Quote: If you want to use iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, GarageBand, Photoshope Elements, Logic Express, Final Cut Express or a modern game, a 1.6 GHz is vary slow. I disagree... for casual use, my 867MHz Powerbook is adequate for most (if not all-- I've…

TrevorD: I like that, although I think the ports would all be on the back-- maybe the bottom. Probably on the back, though, because it would be much cleaner looking.
