  • Quote: Originally posted by RSteve AppleStore UK has reduced iMac availability to 2 days, and increased eMac availability to 2 days. So I'm wondering if really it was just a temporary supply issue and we're not expecting a new upgrade after all? …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Rhumgod Wasn't the Chinese New Year just celebrated (Feb 9, or thereabouts)? Not sure if manufacturing lines would have slowed because of that and thus the total quantity in the channels reduced. Just a thought. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by jouster So if I put my TiBook 400/ATI Rage 8MB on ebay and say it'll run UT at 50 fps, that's marketing? No, of course they won't say the GPU sucks, but they go too far in the opposite direction. I played around wit…
  • Quote: Originally posted by nabfa1 Maybe, maybe, too good to be true (?) in that, they (Apple) are trying so very hard to ship high numbers of Mac mini's and shuffles to the continental USA, that all else might be put on hold for a couple days? T…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave Um, there is no February 31st. Just had to mention it. Is it February already? Where does it all go?
  • Quote: Originally posted by Commodus Ah, but you have to contrast that with the current situation. The iMacs were showing "same business day" shipping up until today, and we know that there's no shortage of G5 chips now. Why have the sudden del…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac since the G5 was intorduced, there have been only yearly updates to Power Macs. But that was because of the delay waiting for the 90 nm process G5's to get into full swing production.These long update cy…
  • Quote: Originally posted by converted2truth They really should start playing nice with HP. If Apple pisses them off, they'll stop shipping itunes and go for media center. Eventually that will help contribute to the demise (or loss of market sha…
  • Quote: Originally posted by pyriX [B]K... no offense, but apple hasn't always been the most up to date when it comes to upgrading it's optical drives. I mean for crying out loud the top level PowerMac's are still using the 8x burner, when all i w…

  • Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 Processor upgrade >> While I don't see a 64 bit processor as an absolute requirement it does need a substantial upgrade to boost performance. I'm thinking Apple will wait on Motorola here, they sh…
  • I just saw an article on hardmac.com claiming the 1.8 single tower has a soldered processor.If thats true I feel for anyone who has ordered this thing-thinking it will be a better investment than a imac.Apple should be ashamed.

  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave You're right. Problem is NEW computer users (or switchers) don't want to spend $1299 or more on a computer when testing the waters. Some will, but most won't. That's why Apple needs to get a low end iMac down …
  • Quote: Originally posted by spankalee But if the iMac was going to just get a 1.5Ghz G4 then why didn't it get refreshed with the iMac, or soon after? Right now the eMac is a much, much better deal than the iMac, and it's been weeks since the upd…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Tuttle I must have missed that news item, have a link? Now what would a link mean in rumorland? It's "anything goes" around here.
