  • Quote: Originally posted by progmac It seems I am switching my computer every other day for one reason or another. Better value, more power, whatever. I sell and buy lower-end computers as if it were a competitive sport. I've read that Murbot …
  • Quote: Originally posted by BRussell You'll find that a lot of people will say "you have to get a dual no matter what." I don't think it's quite that simple. Duals will really shine under these conditions: 1. You are running a processor-intens…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tommy_thompson In short, how much less? I know of a few places that are offering older version of Quark for about half or less. Also if you want the new Quark 6, if you are a student you can get educational pricing, a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by womblingfree I agree with you about the monitor, in fact you're right about everything. By getting a faster Mac my productivity would take a slight upward turn due to processing. Thing is that as the current one do…
  • Quote: Originally posted by womblingfree 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…
  • Quote: Originally posted by spankalee Is it? Would you rather have more market share and no money, or less market share and money? I agree that Apple could use a less expensive non-AIO in the line up, but less expensive will mean less feature…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iPeon According to MacCentral, the problems only affect FireWire 800 drives using the Oxford 922 bridge chip-set with firmware version 1.02. Full report here. So, just to be clear: I won't have to worry about my…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo I have money to spend on upgrading my G5, and I really don't know how much RAM helps gaming. Does anyone know? And which will be the better priceerformance value, a GPU or RAM? Feel free to move to CH or GD …
  • Quote: Originally posted by stujay I couldn't agree more. While $20 seems like a good deal, I think that anyone who purchased a G5 before the Panther drop date should have received a free upgrade. (Of course I grudgingly paid my $20.) Let'…
  • Quote: Originally posted by othello you're speculatin on this by any chance? \ Man ... if Apple made a tablet PC just a little larger than the iPod that runs OSX and only costs $199 I would buy one as fast as my hands can click the "buy" b…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JLL Please! Macs always ships with the latest OS. Apple aren't producing Macs with Jaguar anymore. This is not PC land. Well, I want to believe you, but if you go to the Apple Store website you'll find that the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by tak1108 The cube died because it was too close in price to a powermac. it should have been a ton less. I recall at least one model was $1799. thta is just way too much for un unexpandable computer, when the powermac…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tak1108 I was thinking more like this: The cube was a PERFECT idea for Apple. They should have kept the iMac as the most affordable all-in-one and made the cube the computer that you buy if you don't have …
  • Quote: Originally posted by dferigmu Design aside, what I really would like to see is better performance for the price. Maybe a nice 1.6 G5, 160GB HD, 512RAM, and an ATI Radeon 9600 for $1799? I would buy that iMac the day it comes out! At …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Locomotive Question. Several posters have said the eMac should have included USB 2.0. Should Apple just dump Firewire (save money) on it's 'consumer machines' in favor of USB 2.0? Apple should use BOTH. Firewire …
  • Quote: Originally posted by giant I mainly play games on the computer, but I like to have folks bring their game systems over to hook up to the projector. I have a couple friends that are big console gamers, and one of them has a every console, …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Smircle And what has happened to the "innocent until proven guilty"-idea in this case? Where have you been in the last 20-30 years? "Innocent until proven guilty" hasn't been true here in the US since the TV ne…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JLL The $225 monitor is probably analog. Panther is included (as of tomorrow). You may be right about the $199 17-inch flat panel I saw. I didn't look close at the specs. Still, you can get some very nice 17-inc…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JLL Uhm, a single 1.25GHz is $1,299 - buy a $200 monitor yourself. Good point ... I should have made my estimate $100-$200 cheaper! As far as the monitor is concerned, it should be an option that doesn't cost as…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Rhumgod Agreed. Shitcan that monstrosity! It is the ugliest thing they have made since Jobs came back. They need a headless, cheap model to compete in homes/schools/corporations. Give people a choice of monitors …
