  • I'll believe it's good when I see it and not rely on Apple to tell me it's any good. They have a lot of mechanical issues to solve with this mouse if it's anything like the wired Mighty Mouse in moving parts. And having to frequently clean your …
  • Why would anyone (with edu access) buy a freaking mini with prices like this for the much better outfitted eMac? Will they actually lower the mini price too?
  • Quote: Originally posted by umijin Unfortunately, my 12" G4 PB is still stuck in restart mode now some 5 minutes after. It got past the grey screen, and is now on the light blue screen with spinning ball. I'll let it go another 5 minutes before I…
  • My 20" G5 iMac rebooted rather quickly, but the fan was set ON full blast. I repaired permissions and rebooted, and it seems to be stable now. Unfortunately, my 12" G4 PB is still stuck in restart mode now some 5 minutes after. It got past the gr…
  • Good for Apple. But let's face it - how (or why) can any of these companies in China respect the human rights of their workers when their own government does not? It's the dirty laundry we all know about, but don't want to see.
  • WTF - 5.2 pounds??! What are they thinking?! This is a pound heavier than the G4 12" PowerBook. I thought the whole idea behind switching to Intel was to conserve size and power. This is a major disappointment, and won't sell so well here in …
  • Quote: Originally posted by JeffDM I don't understand why you say decent Mac Bluetooth devices, a good Bluetooth device is OS independent. Well, there are many BT devices that don't work with Macs, like the MicroSoft Keyboard, and Targus po…
  • Bluetooth speed bump? WHO CARES?! I mean really folks - we can't even get decent bluetooth Mac peripherals - so what is the point? Aside from Apple's keyboard - what BT device really works well on a Mac and isn't overpriced?! There are really no dec…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Faasnat Very good points. This doesn't look like something you'd take to the beach or on a picnic. If it's mainly going to be used in the home, why not just have a wifi "boombox" that streams from your computer w/ …
  • Quote: Originally posted by AgNuke1707 A few things... Who uses speakers to play music at home? Oh man, lemme tell you, I love listening to my music through computer speakers. Lots of people. A dizzying amount of people actually. We moved a lot …
  • This is thing is utterly bad. Ugly, no wifi integration, can't see the (iPod) screen across the room... I mean, who the hell uses their iPod at home to play music through speakers anyway if they've got a computer already? No radio? No ha…
  • I had some minor problem after install on my 12" G4 PB. The reboot stalled on the grey screen with spinning dial. There was no hard drive noise, and it stayed this way for a few minutes. After holding down the startup button and restarting, it ma…

  • iWork doesn't rate at all compared to Office - sorry. This goes both for sales and functionality. iWork has its bright spots, but other than Keynote, it's difficult to compare it with Office. And given the ubiquity of Word docs in all aspects of …
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross These purchasing decisions are known to anyone who has followed Apple for at least one year's cycle. Why anyone would make a purchase of any major new item less than at least two months before either a Macw…
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross If you're within range of an Apple store, go and check it out for yourself. Otherwise, wait for a week or so. check out both Macfixit.com and macintouch.com, both of them will have extensive reports on both…
  • Hmmm... not sure what to do. I got my new G5 iMac on 22 December, so I could eat the restocking fee and get the intel iMac. There are clear advantages to the new processor, vid card, external monitoring, and RAM. The big issues will be hardw…
  • Quote: Originally posted by sjk I did, too. Apple's pumping out new iMacs almost as fast as iPods now. I'm satisfied with my rev. B iMac G5 for awhile. I'd rather ignore the first wave of issues with the new hardware and non-native software …
  • Quote: Originally posted by g3pro Good thing you don't work for Apple. gg. OK - I eat crow on this one. Wonder if my restocking fees will be worth the switch. But who the hell will buy an iMac G5 if they don't lower the price?
  • NEW iMACS? No way... I call BullS**t. This would alienate a lot of people, and doesn't make sense strategywise. Apple needs new laptops, and would likely not have the resources to And yeah, I would be PO'd cuz I just got my 20" iMac last…
