Well, I posted fairly early in this thread, so I guess I'm just closing off the story of my search for a new machine. As I said earlier: [quote] Apple needs to release a pro-sumer mini-tower or reborn affordable Cube in August. Doesn't need to…

First off, an excellent and well thought out reply. I'll argue with you on two point though. [quote] Expensive is a subjective thing. 1. Cost matters. I can afford (ie. my budget will let me) spend about $600 US a year. So that allows m…

Short rant about reduced prices: So here's what I don't understand. Apple needs to clear PM inventory. Most people are waiting for a speed bump on processor and RAM. This is most true for the discriminating, high-end type customer. So App…

Overall, the complaining goes well, and I think there's enough to complain about. For the few of you who haven't read the title of the thread, this was established as "The great AI MWNY bitching thread" So don't tell us not to complain. …

This is indeed a frigging infomercial. I wonder if Steve's getting paid for all these product placments. I don't want to buy a new Cell phone. Mine works fine. I don't want to buy a new PDA either, my Handspring Visor Deluxe works fine. Who is …

Consider this a formal apology to his Steveness. I'm in love with iSych and iCal, now that it'll play nice with a Palm. Marry me Steve.

So you can *look* at iCal calendars on the iPod, but not edit the calendars on it. Close, Steve. Very close. But no cigar. I want the next step (no pun intended) of *some* PDA functionality.
-
Well, to be fair, I'm a really busy guy with a FT job, a small business, family and personal commitments. I think the features of ICal actually sound pretty good, although he didn't say that it would play with a PDA. If it played nice with a Palm …

Friggin Steve wasting my time being so impressed with iChat. It's not radically different from AIM or ICQ Steve. Join the rest of us in 2002. Tell me about the hardware guy!

I'm taking time off work to watch this crap? It's 9:41 ET you guys. Start frigging impressing me, make me buy a new Mac. I'm buying a new computer this summer, and if you don't impress me, so help me God I'll get a lobotomy and ask the Dude for a…

[quote] Even if one grants the assertion that the majority of Apple owners are probably not high-end graphics or video users, the fact remains that those very users are typically among the most loyal and hardcore Apple fans. They make a living wi…

I have the Rev "A" iMac. If you want to seriously use it, but it won't be your top system then I'd keep it the way it is, and run OS 8.6 That's what I ran up until this summer. I tried OS 9 and it was slow and buggy and it wasn't a necessary upgr…

[quote]Originally posted by TigerWoods99: What I would've done is gone on smalldog or somewhere and looked for a dual 800 G4 w/GeForce 3 card. I think you can get those cheap now. Um not by my definition of cheap you can't. I couldn't see one o…

[quote]Originally posted by radar1503: I dunno. XP Home is fine for me. Nice new system man. Agreed on the graphics -- I did the same thing you did. Bought a cheap video card when I built my computer in anticipation of the GeForce 4's rele…

[quote]Originally posted by radar1503: I'd STRONGLY recommend building a gaming PC, as you can get about 2X the gaming performance for around half the price plus the best possible upgrade path known to mankind, and it's fun to build computers. …

Wow. Consensus. That's pretty spooky. Well, I guess the low-end tower, with a basic CRT is is my price range (the dualie with plasma screen isn't even in my *dream* range). Here's hoping that Apple drops the bottom end cost on G4 towers in the n…
-
It should come as a surprise to no one who is less than absurdly wealthy that the G4 iMac isn't doing too well. It's expensive and some of its features are utterly pointless for the average user. I personally consider eMac my salvation. No, I'm n…

[quote] The slots in the red motherboard ARE DDR. anybody who isn't blind can see this. They are keyed for DDR DIMMs. You cannot physically fit a regular 168-pin SDRAM module of ANY kind into it. The board in the other photos is basically the sam…

In regards to the DDR is SDRAM comment put out by several folks. This is technically true, but not at all reassuring. Bus speed/data rate matter. SDRAM includes everything from the 66Mhz stuff in my iMac rev. A to the DDR (double data rate) 333…
