  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates I'm not nuts about dropping $2599, give or take, on something on its last legs (the chip/specs prior to the '57 or - heaven help us - the G5). If it's a holdover you're looking for, it's also not hard to fin…
  • Quote: Originally posted by THT It's important to read the article... Nice jab, and good point. Shows what happens to a normally rational mind when it's fogged by frantic hope. Pounced right on "now available." Kind of like stating that an …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Zapchud ...Mot is still not anywhere near ready to ship them... Is this true? According to Motorola in a February '03 press release, they're out. The delay is Apple's (usual ) lag in putting them in a computer an…
  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates His humor is lost on many, that's why I ask. Takes some time, if you're not completely hell-bent on hating him. I've laughed harder at some of his comments than any sitcom or "South Park" episode ever created. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates And you've actually listened how many times? Oh puh-lease. Okay, after taking in his radio show often, I think he's a very open-minded guy.
  • Quote: Originally posted by sc_markt Hmmm... Maybe we all should start calling Rush's show and try to steer our conversations to Apple computers. If at least one or two of us per day got through and got to talk about Apple computers, it'd be a lo…
  • And speaking of conspiracies... It seems to me that a full couple of minutes on Limbaugh's show, regardless of one's opinion of him, seems like great free press. So I wonder who that caller was. Simply an Apple devotee, or something deeper... …
  • *** NEWS FLASH *** Apple is about to announce the successor to the PowerBook G4 line: the PowerBook G-SEVENTY-TWO!! It has a 27" screen but folds up like George Jetson's car to fit in your shirt pocket. Data is processed so blindingly fast t…

  • Quote: Originally posted by courtland80 36 new replies seems to be a lot of talk over absolutely no real information Exactly. There is no new Powerbook coming tomorrow. We haven't heard from our friend in Costa Rica since "Just wait." Th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by neutrino23 An Al 15.4" PB with a newer G4 would be great. Of course I would like a G5. But if it is not coming out _right now_ then bring on the G4. A little faster, longer battery life, brighter screen, airport extrem…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo Yeah. Kind of like how metal windows in OS X have Aqua buttons. It would look insanely tacky if,, say, quicktime player had metal control buttons AND metal window texture. By "Aqua buttons" I assume you mea…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Murder By Syntax (saving though ) ) Score! and good for you. There's a reason why this platform has more passionate loyalists than any other technological device in history, intermittent griping notwithstanding (a…
  • As I'm sure has been posted elsewhere, it'll probably be the Motorola 7457 (G4+? G4.5?) and not the G5. The skinny from The Register, as alluded to in MacRumors.com. Fine by me. I just want the friggin' thing already. Apple's trying our colle…
  • Quote: Originally posted by The General in the immortal words of Steven Tyler.. "DREAM ON! DREAM ON! DREAM ON!" Aw, let's be nice to Syntax. He's soooo close. His soul wants a Macintosh so badly his brain can taste it. Dude, shell ou…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Wotan An aluminum display next to the G5 might be too much aluminum, and would be in danger of looking tacky, like something that was designed by Tim Allen. More like Woody Allen. -K
  • Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but does anyone else have a problem with Apple releasing the post potent personal computer ever, featuring the vaunted G5... ...and then giving it 512K L2 cache?? Unless there's an architecture limitation I'm …
