  • Is that some kind of water cooling unit or thermal pipe cooler? I can't really tell from the pics. Bizarre though - you're gonna need a pretty monsterous case to accomodate that behemoth. C.

  • Quote: Originally posted by Ra: Wrong. Marketshare decline just means that PC growth exceeded Mac growth. Mac growth? Now I don't mean to be a downer here but Mac Sales have been steadily declining over the last 8 or 9 years. They're actu…
  • Quote: Originally posted by McCrab: I would argue that the steady decline over the last 8-9 years has been a result of a less than overwhelming value proposition by Apple. OSX is robust, but the G5 is far from a slam dunk in its present form. App…
  • Quote: Originally posted by SuperMatt: If you attempt to buy a new G5, you will see that there is a 7-10 day wait for shipment. Just a day or two ago, they were shipping the same day. Could this indicate new models on Tuesday? I believe Apple a…
  • "PC" these days is in a lot of ways like saying "KFC" - the acronym really has become the word... What I was really getting at here was when people are talking about computers - you immediately assume they're talking about PCs. You want …
  • Quote: Originally posted by McCrab: ... and people don't care for Macs because? The easiest answer is that it is simply a PC world out there. In fact, "PC" has become synonymous with the word "Computer". Apple is regarded now as just a fringe c…
  • Quote: Screw the G5 onlooker hip me to this "wonder case" of yourse. Who makes it and what makes it special? [Sends out spy camera...] *click* C.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Onlooker: #1) That is why Apple is not selling more PowerMacs. Oh, if it were only that easy... \ Unfortunately the real reason can be summed up in just 2 letters - P and C, and the increasing ubiquity thereof. T…

  • Once again I'd like to temper some of the exhuberance here with just a dose of pragmaticism... 8) If Apple had released a refresh early on this year I would believe they'd reach 3 Ghz by the end of summer. But now, having to go from 2 to 3 Ghz …
  • Quote: [i]Originally posted by Paul:[/] yeah, this is after installing adaware and spybot right? I went to MacRumors once this morning (~5:30am), before installing Spybot, and, of course, again after. So, yes, there could have been something th…
  • With the X800s around the corner I'm surprised you sprung for a 9800... And on that note, are Graphic cards really that much more expensive on the Mac? - I can get the same card for the PC for $389... Canadian! C.
  • Accessing from a Win XP Pro machine at home... C.
  • Hmmm... no problems here. Didn't change my home page and didn't install anything by the looks of it. C.
  • Hey, thanks to the link for Spybot - me like! Cheers, C.
  • Uh... dglow, you do realize you're also comparing a $200 video card with like, a ~$900 card, right? Cheers.
  • I had no choice! C.
  • Portability is big on my list too. Expansion slots provide a lot of ways to boost it usefulness. GPS navagation (which I know you can get for Pocket PCs, so you should be able to for a Palm as well) I think is great expansion for your PDA, in-car or…
  • The Flames are coming in the finals as the underdogs here, but really, only on paper. Watching Calgary play in the postseason, and their win over San Jose (who plays a style much like Tampa Bay)... I think they're going to take it. I honestly think …
