  • Loaded 15", IMO. What's 2 extra inches of screen? Now a loaded 17"...wow. But as it stands (loaded 15" OR stock 17"), I'd have to choose the former. And you mention taking it around quite a bit...the 15" is probably a tad more luggable and c…
    in Loaded 15" PB or Stock 17" PB? Comment by pscates May 2004
  • Gee, that only took four months! Good going. \ I hope I live to see the day Apple releases something really cool and popular AND actually has available, ready-to-go stock of it within a week or so. iMac G4, dual 2.0 G5, 15" aluminum Power…
    in iPod Mini -- In Stores Now! Comment by pscates May 2004
  • You know the one thing I always notice with these other companies? Their stuff just looks so cluttered, cheesy and "trying too hard". The iPod is just a small, white rectangle. Smooth, low-key. No wild-ass curves or self-conscious "ain't we hip?"…

  • I don't know if the dock is "important" - certainly not necessary - but I like having the iMac placed vertically (easy to see the screen) and not just lying around on its back. I misread your post about wanting the remote and the dock being the "…

  • I haven't seen it on regular TV yet. Odd. Regarding the "upstart" and "old guard" thing, yes...there's a prick over in FH in need of a good slap (ohh, that sounded kinda weird). \ Giving me grief and sass for no good reason, other than I ca…
    in See the new iPod ad here! Comment by pscates May 2004
  • Then get the 15GB and the dock. That's what I did, a month or so ago at Target. I had no interest in the carrying case or remote and I have just under 10GB of music (with all my CDs encoded and buying, say, 2-4 songs off iTMS a month), so I went …

  • Bon Bon boy, I'd bet a 1.5 GHz G4 iMac - properly advertised/promoted - would outsell a 1.6 G5 iMac that is given Apple's traditional marketing "attention". Now, of course, maybe not by us "in the know" Mac-heads, but just among the general popul…

  • Yeah, what consumer/switcher needs a PCI slot? I mean, if all the crap that normally comes on cards is already built-in, what's the point? Who, honestly, is going to miss that on a consumer mini-tower? No one. I like that idea too. Honestly…

  • For the machine that saved their bacon, they sure do treat it with some indifference, don't they? Certainly seems to always be fairly low on their list of priorities/attention. Kinda sad... If I ran the show, the iMac - realizing its name…

    in alrighty, i'm ready! Comment by pscates May 2004
  • We'll see, won't we. I don't agree at all, but we'll find out soon enough, I guess. Apple themselves - not US - have kept their line cleanly and clearly segmented between "pro" and "consumer", so, apparently, "one thing does have something to do …

    in Anyone use an iCurve with a 17" Powerbook? Comment by pscates May 2004
  • I think they'll just be 1.5GHz G4s (match the top-end PowerBooks). I'm sorry, I just really can't imagine Apple putting a G5 (and all that it implies) into their consumer desktop BEFORE they put it into their professional laptop. Just doesn't mak…
    in Which is most likely for the next iMac revision... Comment by pscates May 2004
  • I can't imagine why it wouldn't. I use one for my 15" and the weight difference isn't that much, and the width is only an inch or two. I wondered all this too, before I bought my iCurve, but it's perfect. These little non-skid pads are built dire…

  • I made a thread here a couple of years ago where I talk about Jeff Levy, who hosts the same type of show (computers/tech for complete nimrods and chuckleheads) out of KFI AM-640 in Los Angeles, and all his - and Komando's - show does is make me fall…

  • I can't believe there's a thread about this. \ I think my November 2001 is that time following the big down-time? I came here, originally, in January 2000 (right before the Macworld where OS X was unveiled) and AppleInsider had a black and turqu…
