  • Be nice suckfuldotcom, some people can't help it if they have dim lights. Look at me :eek: I think there will be a G5 this year. I know it doesn't make me dim, but I might be using the wrong wattage bulb Then again, I may be using one of…

  • The reason I believe we'll see a G5 in 2002 is that the original expected launch date was Q4 '01 or Q1 '02. Now I know that this was all being talked about in 1999 and 2000 and that these dates aren't set in stone, but I add to that the fact Steve-O…

  • So who thinks I will win? And who thinks suckfuldotcom will win? And who doesn't care

  • sizzle chest: I agree with you, but this is where the choice needs to be made. Will you be happy with a G4 iMac that you can't upgrade the chip (maybe in the future, we'll see when someone guts one) and you can't upgrade video, add 2nd monitor (e…

  • I really don't see a conflict if the prices of the low end power mac are less than the high end iMac. You still have to buy a monitor for the PMac. There are lots of arguments to go either way. Low end PMac is expandable, processor upgradeable, PCI …

  • qazII, I agree that there are other things to be looked at to tell the difference between a G4 and a G5. That's why I'm not overly concerned about setting down more ground rules, I think when it's released we'll all now if we've been had or not. …

  • It's officially a bet now.... shoe box is my vegas money, maybe I can stuff the money in my iomega zip 250, I never put disks in the damn thing anyway.

  • Sure sounds good enough for me. No matter what happens (if something is released as a G5), we'll start a thread "Is this really a new class of chip or a G4 pretending to be a G5" and get the help of our fellow gossip hounds here. I can't hold you to…

  • suckfuldotcom, I agree and concur with what you laid out for the ground rules. Any disputes to be settled here in our forum, The People's Court, er' I mean AppleInsider. I would add that the bet not be paid (if one of us wins) until Jan 03'. I…

  • Also that with the addition of G4 to the iMac line I believe they need to differentiate the PowerMacs with a better processor. How long was the PowerMac and iMac all at G3????? EDIT-----------------------------------------------------------------…

  • Suckfuldotcom, I am willing to go smaller (I may have an iPod by that time but a 120GB firewire HD is about the same cost). The G5 as pertains strictly to Apple has been in development for a minimum of 2 years. That can clearly be verified in …

  • [quote]Originally posted by suckfuldotcom: You really wanna take that bet? If so, I've been known to make a wager now and then. Just to define the proposed terms: I am using the model number of the PPC fabbed by Motorola. 7460=G4 8…

  • How about this Suckfuldotcom.... I guarantee a G5 Macintosh before 2003. If I am right you buy me one when it is released. If I am wrong I buy you one in 2003 when it is released. What say you?

  • Apple switched back to where no PC has gone before, maybe they were doing that link to show what was being said.
