  • seriously though, I did say "next week" which gives me till Friday. Nothing has made me change my mind about the G5 announcement. Yet. Don't forget, the new iMac was announced when it wasn't actually available. This was because Apple NEEDED to…

  • OK, maybe not. One more day (week?)

  • [quote] Oh, I forgot my stake. PM G4 800-933-1000DP on 01-22-02 and PB G4 733-866 and iBook 700/800 in Tokyo. How much do you think a PM G4 800 will cost, considering the price of the iMac? Surely the PM line has to significantly faster, hen…

  • Some of the test boxes that everyone's been talkin about were fetched back this weekend with a message effectively saying 'thanks a lot, job done. We're ready to roll.' These were mostly G5s and overclocked Apollos. Apple and MOTO have kept th…

    in There is no G5 Comment by philbot June 2002
  • yeah, but I wouldn't expect G5's yet. Multi processing makes sense now OSX is default, so I expect the whole G4 Tower range to be Dual or Quad by the end of this month. 4 x G4 900 is better than 1 G5 surely???

  • Love the new iMac! but: would've preferred the headphone socket on the front. But hey! it won't stop me buying one.
    in Has Apple abandoned one of the iMacs best features? Comment by philbot January 2002
  • OK so there's no new towers -YET. But did anyone here seriously thing G5's were ready yet? Now the G4 iMacs are out they will do the job they were designed for, which is convert Wintel home users and convince 1st time buyers to choose Apple. O…

  • No G5s? - No surprise! they arn't ready yet. New iMac? - Fantastic! will sell millions We should all be feeling very smug right now. There are millions of people out there who didn't realise they wanted a computer until now. Even my Mum want…

  • I'd like to see an iFi A set of cool speakers and an amp which the iPod docks with to form a cool digital hifi. While docked the iPod is charged, can be remotely controlled etc. When you're ready to go just unplug and away you go.
    in My theories for the wierd hints from Apple.com Comment by philbot January 2002
  • The specs look pretty reasonable to me - except for the 14" LCD. Most people know what is technically feasable at this time, and 1.5Ghz G5s aren't. Expect speed bumped G4s and iBooks, LCD iMacs and maybe a couple of digital lifestyle products.…
