  • Quote: I'm sorry, I just really can't imagine Apple putting a G5 (and all that it implies) into their consumer desktop BEFORE they put it into their professional laptop. Just doesn't make marketing sense, among other kinds. Apples and oranges...…
    in Which is most likely for the next iMac revision... Comment by gamblor May 2004
  • Quote: I'm getting sick of thin -- I want POWER in my Powerbook. Speak for yourself... I just got back from Best Buy, and was rather disgusted that I couldn't find a PC laptop (other than the token Sony 12") that weighed less than 6.5 pounds, a…
    in Apple Confirms NO G5 PowerBooks anytime soon Comment by gamblor May 2004
  • Did you upgrade your previous OS to Panther, or did you do a fresh install? I had similar problems (except I could never get Help to run-- it would just crash) when I upgraded from Jag -> Panther on my 12" Powerbook. Making a clean install of t…

  • Actually, it's for an old iMac display arm. It was applied for in 2001, before the current iMac was released.

  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer It looks to me like most people didn't read my whole post. We read it, we just rejected it wholesale. Personally, I don't have a problem with Apple redesigning hardware every nine to twelve months, bu…
    in increasing product lifecycles (and why there aren't any updates! Comment by gamblor April 2004
  • Um, comparing stock prices in absence of any other statistics is rather silly. Look at the volumes of both stocks, for example. Today, 7.5 million shares of AAPL trades hands, while 61 million shares of MSFT were traded. Total it all up and the t…

  • Quote: Originally posted by dferigmu Yeah but $100 off an outdated iMac is hardly a discount. PM G5 prices are better though. Then check out the refurbed machines at the Apple store. Recently they had the 1.6GHz G5 for $1399, the single 1.8 …
    in This is why Apple's market share doesn't grow... Comment by gamblor March 2004
  • I think it'd be kinda neat if they were redesigned so that a new DVI-ADC converter could be snapped on to the back of the display. That way you'd have one less little box banging around behind your desk.

  • Quote: I agree that 27 is a little high at this point, but I don't see it going down to 20 in April. Perhaps, but then, when it was
    in To AAPL 52 week high, and beyond! Comment by gamblor March 2004
  • I agree with JBL... At least some of this run-up is because of the Sony rumor, so when it turns out to be bunk, expect the stock to take a hit. The stock has come a bit too far, too fast. Expect to see it deflate at least a bit on Monday... T…
    in To AAPL 52 week high, and beyond! Comment by gamblor March 2004
  • Quote: feb 2002 was two years ago, right? You're right-- I'm a pinhead who can't count, type, or tell time. Oh well... That should have been Feb '03. I've had the stock slightly over a year.
    in To AAPL 52 week high, and beyond! Comment by gamblor March 2004
  • Quote: If you ask me, the buyout rumor is a ploy to drive the stock up. Someone wanted to make some money. Works for me! Bought Feb. 2002 for about 14.25. Sold today for 26.78. 88% return in a bit over a year. He he!
    in To AAPL 52 week high, and beyond! Comment by gamblor March 2004
  • Quote: Yes, they are, they are paying full price, 99cents each. They only expect 1/3 to be redeemed, however, so they have budgeted 33 million for that aspect of the promotion. Anybody else reminded of the Krusty Burger 1984 Olympics promotion? …
    in It is Pepsi's fault... Comment by gamblor February 2004
  • Quote: The LC series was never sub $1K. No-- a quick trip to lowendmac.com reveals that the Quadra 605 (the last LC class machine) was introduced at $900. Quote: Apple is currently offering a machine under $1K that, like the LC family, has l…
    in iMac Future Comment by gamblor February 2004
  • Quote: Got a Micro Center mailing today. Great deals on G5s and iMacs! $200 mail-in rebates on 1.6 and 1.8, bringing prices down to $1599 and $1899. This must be the old single 1.8 since they say the reg price is $2099 and the current dual 1.8 goes…
    in countdown to new g5's... Comment by gamblor January 2004
  • Quote: If Apple did as so many here have suggested and developed the Cube 2.0, where do you think it would be this quarter financially? Given that an expanded Powerbook line didn't adversely effect their bottom line, I have no reason to believe …
    in Macinchat's MWSF rumors Comment by gamblor January 2004
  • Quote: 206K in 04Q1. Oopsies! Here-- highlighted for clarity: Quote: If the rumor of >500k Powermacs sold is true that means about 300k sold for Q1 04, since they sold about 220k in Q4 03. in Q1 03, they sold 158k, so they'd be at damn…
