Dear wizard Go easy on our fellow Mac-wielding brother. No one wants to part with $3K and not have the latest and greatest. Kudos to him for having a firm grip on the current state of things we think we know.

Dear nomad All I'd put my money on is that a new iMac will appear sometime between now and next June. Your information is up to date as far as I know. But there are a couple of things that give me hope for an updated iMac before January: iMac …

Dear bhartley & Friends I know what you mean. I had an upgraded Power Mac 7500 from back in '96 and wanted a new pro Mac desktop back in late '99. That was back when we were all waiting for a much faster PowerPC processor from Motorola and…

Dear Friends What draws folders' contents? I'm guessing that may not be GPU-accelerated in OS X yet. I now have the new eight-core Mac Pro with 9GB of RAM and the ATI1900. The Applications folder on this new machine now has about 175 items in …

Dear ashraman, hmurchison, & Friends I'm really excited about tomorrow's event, but I don't know if it'll hold anything special for this Photoshop user. I was too scared to order the new Mac Pro when it was first announced on April 4 because …

Dear onlooker Don't you also expect to hear more Leopard news, including features and a more specific release date? Also, wouldn't you expect to hear something about iMovie HD? I plan to order a new workstation right after the special event…
