The thing is, many people don't buy Power Macs because they are professional users - they buy them because they can't stand the lack of expandability that an iMac or eMac offers. They are basically dead end systems, and while the eMac is priced low …

hmurchison, 200 mHz higher clockspeeds make very little difference in terms of performance for the price. Frankly, your average buyer would rather have a $300 cheaper computer than slightly higher clock speed - it makes the Power Mac stack up better…

"you are simply repeating yourself. your logic is seriously flawed, you have been proven wrong countless times. you have been proven to lie. you have proven to be a serious apologist. please, save yourself some time and find something better…

"it's not like PCs have an expiration date." Most PC users upgrade because their current computer becomes unusable - either due to hardware failure, or massive and recurrent software issues, probably brought on by a glut of spyware, virii, etc. …

Steve Jobs has never claimed to be a techie. He's obviously good at promotion, image, and PR - which is largely the CEO's job. Trust me, you don't want a hardcore computer programmer or hardware engineer as your CEO. The public can't relate to these…

"I love my Mac at work, but I won't argue that PCs, from a price/performance standpoint, are better deals." Not if you factor in total cost of ownership as well as productivity... Obviously, most people don't care about these things and would rat…

" would you like to poll the people here and see how many have required ipod headphone replacement? this is a very very common issue." Start the poll if you feel like it. I own 2 iPods, my brother owns 1, and I have several friends who own them.…

"suspicious? if you own the products that I own it is highly probable to experience these issues." It depends. The PowerBook paint issue is one thing, but you've had a load of problems with every current Apple product you own, from the sound of …

"please read above. the same applies to you dumbass" Dumbass- my post never mentioned WHY the paint was chipped. It didn't chip off by itself, and I do take excellent care of anything I own. Furthermore, I never denied that TiBooks have a pai…

In my experience, Apple's expedited shipping blows balls since it generally takes a certain amount of time for the order to process, the computer to ship, and be built (if you go BTO). FWIW, I expected my dual 2.0 G5 to be shipping from Taiwan, b…

Anyone with as many problems as Applenut is extremely unlucky, or does not take care of their equipment. I've used my 15" PowerBook every day for the past 2+ years, and the paint is perfect. I've never had any hardware problem, and the battery still…

Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but Apple really should cut the prices on the G5 line by $3-400 across all the models. Look at the pricing of the last dual G4 (Quicksilver) lineup, and compare them to the current dual G5s. Computers should never…

"Give them a freaking 2/3 button mouse with a scroll wheel for Pete's sake so people aren't having to buy one along with their new PowerMac/iMac, and a better keyboard." You really think Apple would suddenly release a 2 button mouse after stickin…

"You don't think $599.00 is a reasonable price for the 17", or you don't have $599.00 to spend on an LCD?" More of the first. I mean, it's approximately 20% above comparable LCDs from third-party manufacturers, but even if it was priced similarly…

"The iMac is after all a premium product much like the PowerMac and the PowerBook. It deserves the G5 equally much as the PowerBook in my eyes." Premium in the sense that you pay extra, maybe. Not premium in terms of performance or reliability. W…

Uday ordered his own troops (Fedayeen) to torch his cars rather than let them be captured. Saddam had nothing to do with it. Finally, those bastards are dead. What do you say now to replace your initial skepticism and hostility, Mr. France? …

"This is an advantage." Personally, I don't think so. You can always turn down the speed with a higher drive. Has the Superdrive been 16x burn speed since its introduction? I'm not that sure that it has been, since my friend's TiBook has one and …

This thread is a spectacle. I've read the whole thing, and, to be honest, it's revolting to find how certain people can be so anal retentive and annoyed over the design of a computer which is not publicly for sale yet. No one really has any busin…

The problem is not the MP3s. It's iTunes. All of the ID3 information is there and correct - it just doesn't show in the yellow "play progress" window. Is there a bug report for iTunes? stjobs

I think torifile is way outta line, you ignore facts posted by many people, particularly Thrasher. You call gaming a hobby for teenage boys, yet someone pointed out that the average age for gamers is 27-28. That's just a little bit older than te…
