  • This can only mean one thing... New patterns for CRT iMacs! "Granola" and, uh, "Grass." I'm moved already. Cheers, Mark.

  • I think Paul's overstating the situation from many a shopper's point of view - and defending the status quo a little too strongly... The "they cost more" criticism directed at the Mac is more problematic than any other. It's the deterrant that fi…
    in If the Cube came back... Comment by mark December 2001
  • I think that the market for a sub-$1000 headless Mac would be huge. Apple seems loathe to go down that road, though. Pity. Personally, I simply adored the G4 Cube. As with many others, the only stumbling block to my actually buying one was th…
    in If the Cube came back... Comment by mark December 2001
  • I believe the market would be satisfied by anything running over 1.2GHz or so, with a new logic board and case design - at the current prices. G4, G5, whatever; Apple will do fine with either. Satisfying this forum will take...well, there's no sa…
    in Assuming there's no g5s, what will satisfy people? Comment by mark December 2001
  • G4s masquerading as G5s? What's the point? MacHeads won't be fooled. The people who need Power Macs will buy them regardless. And consumers look mostly at MHz; they certainly didn't ignore the delta between G4 and Pentium III simply because four is …
    in What if Apple chooses to call the new Apollo a G5? Comment by mark December 2001
  • Rumormill watchers often jump to conclusions. And they will always want to advertise their find with the boldest wording possible. FH has always been a little nutty - much more so in the run-up to a big show. My advice: accept it for what it is, …

  • I'm expecting color choices to continue with the next iMac; they just won't be near-neon, that's all. Cheers, Mark.

  • Silly. BTO @ the Apple Store.
    in Pink iBooks? Comment by mark December 2001
  • Neat - you can slide any image under the iBook cover after stripping off the white. Hmm. The 'trip-hop' iMac patterns look odd this way, though - I can see why Apple baked them into the iMac plastic rather than rely on appliques. Oh well; çhacon …

  • "Power Mac" is just so unspeakably obtuse. I've always found the name like fingernails on a chalkboard... It's outlived its purpose anyhow; today's Macs are all PPC-based. There isn't even a single model named "Macintosh" left to distinguish from…
    in G5? G6? who'se running this naming scheme? Intel? Comment by mark December 2001
  • [quote]LOL! I can't believe anyone took this thread seriously. It's just for kicks, folks! It's called "sarcasm" Hmm...sarcasm? If you say so. But it could easily be just another of your, uh, contributions to these forums. A whole bunch…
