    in $2600, Apple vs. Dell Comment by bborofka July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Why does everyone seem to think that sub 200k Powermac sales are disappointing? Apple was very clear in the conference call about this. Powerbooks are becoming desktop replacements. They've said this for ye…

  • Quote: Originally posted by NittanyLionTosh He said the ones that IBM was having trouble with were the 1.8's, 2.0's and also the 2.5's. So it's either the 1.8's or the 2.0's. Tim Cook just said that the reason for the G5 pinch is not because o…
    in "New iMac Based On G5"-Oppenheimer Comment by bborofka July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by Playmaker How bad would it suck if the only changes implemented to the iMacs were small processor jumps and 5 fruity colors? Remember that Keynote? MWSF '99. I was at that Keynote. That was a time when Macs were mu…

  • I wouldn't bash them too much. They've been the most reliable site for Mac rumors for years.
    in New iMac will be announced on August 31 - Thinksecret.com Comment by bborofka July 2004
  • While this is an obvious design flaw, it certainly isn't that big of a deal. So the round adapter won't plug into the round hole, ok. It isn't going to wreck my computer if I accidentally try to. Dells obviously aren't the most elegantly designed…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar The worst part in a round motherboard would be the off cuts. They must waste a massive amount. No kidding. Apple needs to let form follow function on the next iMac.

  • Quote: Originally posted by Voxapps Logitech's software works well with OS X, too, and has a variety of configuration options for button and scroll wheel functions. Logitech's drivers are junk in OS X. They don't support fast user switching, …
    in Best/Favorite Mouse Comment by bborofka July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by Voxapps I have to disagree. Software is the primary differentiator between the Mac and its competition. People who do something with their computers other than gaming care about applications and what it takes to do a t…
    in 2004 truly SUCKS so far Comment by bborofka July 2004
  • Unison is really the only way to go I've found. It's a pretty new program, hasn't been updated in a while, but the developers are hard at work on a major update to it. For now, it works great for me. Check it out at www.panic.com

  • Quote: Originally posted by Michael Wilkie I think you're making a hasty generalization there. Several of my colleagues use the Apple mouse and keyboard on their G4s and G5s. Many pros are so accustomed to using keyboard shortcuts that it seems n…
    in Hoping new pro G5's bring a pro mouse/keyboard Comment by bborofka June 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by Michael Wilkie The mouse and keyboard art great! If you want a two or three button mouse, buy one! Granted I would like Apple to offer more capable options as BTO configs, but for the standard config, the current offer…
    in Hoping new pro G5's bring a pro mouse/keyboard Comment by bborofka June 2004
  • Perhaps since the new displays are professional, high-end, aluminum, and expensive (as well as huge), Apple is working on a consumer line of displays that are smaller, cheaper, and of the familiar white/shiny plastics of consumer Macs. After all, a …

  • Quote: Originally posted by hasapi There must be options for gamers on the GPU as a BTO (but try to fit a 9600/9800 in an imac?), removing the power supply, might help, but i think a 1.5G G4 would satisfy most purchases, and dropped the damm pric…
    in Speculations on the new iMac's specifications Comment by bborofka June 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph And reintroduce a whole bunch of problems that the iMac solves. Like what? Decreasing unit sales and diminishing marketshare? Seriously, the iMac has been pretty much a stagnate product sale-wise ever since …

  • Quote: Originally posted by dfryer The only thing that's ever really got me about my AIO eMac (i.e. what I could afford ) is not the fact that I can't change the monitor - it's a really nice monitor, as far as I'm concerned. What kills me is th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph I think the latest update to the Apple display line totally kills the headless iMac concept again. It's just not going to happen. But then, it was never going to happen, because it doesn't make sense. Enter …

  • So what happened? I'd like to see the pics but they're gone from everywhere. Why were they pulled?
