  • I'll get one when: i) They bump up the graphics card ii) Tiger is out iii) My 800mhz, 17", G4 iMac grinds to a halt. Actually I think by the time my G4 is beyond use there'll be something completely different on the market iMac4 maybe o…
    in I'll Buy A New iMac G5 When... Comment by womblingfree September 2004
  • More to the point if they can release a 2" iMac then why not make an attractive G5 Tower that doesn't look like a gargantuan kitchen accessory?
    in If Apple can make an iMac 2 inches thick... Comment by womblingfree September 2004
  • Lovely design. Got a bit worried when I heard the guts would be put into the display, but it looks great. Thinking how thin a powerbook is i suppose there shouldn't really have been any doubts. For those moaning about Doom 3 (which will be playab…
    in Apple unveils the new iMac G5 Comment by womblingfree August 2004
  • Is it worth the not particularly substantial extra cost for a Mac? 100% of course. I've had two years of use from my 800mhz iMac. In that time I've done every conceivable task I can think of with it. No system failures, no corrupted files or …
    in "Apple are assholes" Comment by womblingfree August 2004
  • I use my iMac as a digital hub for my photos, music and movies. Just like in the ads. I also use it to edit documentaries and put them to DVD. I went to fiilm school in the 90's and my Mac is a dream machine compared to the equipment we used then! …

    in BBC - iPod a design classic? Comment by womblingfree November 2003
  • After the bitch slapping Apple gave Adobe by giving FCE away free if you trashed your copy of Premier it's hardly surprising. As Apple have generally made Adobe redundent in the prosumer digital editing Apple market, by writing anti Apple propag…

    in Do you really want another iMac? Comment by womblingfree November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by rustedborg There are a couple reasons someone in your position might want a tower instead of an iMac. 1) A PowerMac can use more DDR SDRAM. 2) If as you say "media takes a sudden unexpected turn to an as yet undisc…
    in Do you really want another iMac? Comment by womblingfree November 2003
  • I run a video editing and digital media company and all I am currently using is an 800mhz 17'' iMac with 1gig of RAM and a 200gig firewire hard drive. Final Cut, DVD PRO 2 and After Effects all run without a hitch. I don't imagine needing to upda…
    in Do you really want another iMac? Comment by womblingfree November 2003
  • I've just seen my first G5 and it is bloody enormous! The iMac may not have sold in vast numbers, although I am not convinced that it under performed at all, but it is the best designed computer ever made. The idea that this revolutionary des…

  • Quote: If the police vehicle was not properly marked or otherwise drawing suspicion for some reason, it's almost understandable Killing human beings in their own country which you have occupied is barbaric murder. The worst thing is that the …
    in US army kills 11 friendly policemen, how stupid can this get? Comment by womblingfree September 2003
  • Quote: But the Dell comes with a 19" monitor. Although it is only a crt monitor I find that having a screen helps in my computers functionallity. This means that you'll have to add a monitor to your G5 calculation before you compare prices. …
    in The G5 Is Priced Like a Dell Comment by womblingfree September 2003
  • I'm selling a VX1000 not a 2000. Sorry for any confusion.
    in Vx2000 Comment by womblingfree August 2003
  • You can't go wrong with a Sony VX1000 or 2000. You probably see footage shot with these cameras every day on TV. They're not specifically broadcast quality, but try telling broadcasters that.
    in Which Video Camera should I get? Comment by womblingfree August 2003
  • Considering you can buy the VX2000 new for under $1800 I don't see why $1200 second hand is so unlikely? You could also get a decent VX1000 for that price or less. Make sure to get one that has a full service history and is preferably still under…

  • This is certainly the best deal I have ever seen. But is it coming to the UK? If not then it's time to call that long lost American pen-friend.

  • Quote: Wombling, what is your working environment, by the way? Video production? Yep. Quote: If you decide that Panther is not necessary for your needs now that's great. Use what you have and enjoy. My iMac does everything I need it to …
    in Panther, who needs it?? Comment by womblingfree June 2003
  • And I'm sure you will hear 'Sabretooth' (or whatever) who needs it?' in the future. But that does not answer my question as to why spend $130 on a .3 upgrade to an already stable OS?
