    in Yeah, but what about PRICES! (new dance pending) Comment by shaktai June 2003
  • You might say that the 970 is the missing cog in the wheel. Because of motorola's failures to provide the core technology, Apple has not been able to advance in a consistent manner. The 970 provides that core technology, allowing them get all the…

  • Expect the price on the G5 to go up, not down. Not by a huge amount, but it will go up. However the long term ROI (Return On Investment) will be greater as well. As far as reliability, all I will say is that my two Macs with OS-X have ran …

  • What we know: * That boxes of possibly 2 sizes are being shipped to Apple retailers all over the world * That Steve will introduce Panther * That Apple needs faster CPU and system architecture and Motorola isn't delivering. * That Steve loves su…

  • I think Monday will bring a lot of wonderful things, not just new PowerMacs. Some of these will be immediate, some will come later. I just can't help feeling that Steve has some surprises. I really suspect that the .gif was an accident. W…

  • Sly devil that Moki! Better then a good mystery novel. The more I look back over what he has said and when, then the more it starts to come together. The novel wouldn't be any good if we knew the ending already.

  • Wow! The store came back up briefly but then I think they realized the image was still cached. It went back down again, and then when it came back up, the new-old image had a -1 appended to the end of it so it would load fresh. Wild. …

  • Can't sleep so I am going to allow myself to fully lapse into "Temporary Insanity" and throw a little more fuel on the fire. What if the mysterious "large" boxes talked about, really are 19" eMacs. By what law is it stated that they must be CR…
