  • Steve Jobs had two chances to rid the world of Microsoft. One was with the origonal Mac OS The second was with the NeXt Step (his post-apple venture). In both cases he refused to stop building hardware. Why? Because he LOVES hardware. He…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Keda: It was a smart move for Apple to get out of the periphial business. The iPod is in a class of its own and I think Apple has more planned for it down the road. Sony and Canon are competitors in the DV arena...I …

  • The camera that writes to DVDs is not new -it's over a year old. And it's not good quality. The quality is worse than MiniDV and it's slower to record and slower to playback. the ONLY benefit is that you can watch it directly in your DVD-Player…

  • Apple is doing well. Sure they only have 4-5% market share, but they are making money (except for this past quarter). The strategy they are using is a very simple one. Build a computer that looks nice, runs well, using a very elegant OS tha…
  • [quote]Originally posted by KidRed: Gone because of the iMac. Why buy a tower and 15" monitor when the fricking iMac would be the cheaper deal?? Well, if the PM is 1600, and the 15" is 300, then the PM w/15" is only $100 more than the high end i…
  • My girlfriend goes to UCLA...maybe she can buy a new mac for me...but... The apple store...store.apple.com, is selling the 733 QS for...$1597. Hardly inexpensive. Andrew
  • A friend of mine said the first thing he wanted to do when he saw the iMac was stick it to the wall and have the monitor face him. Andrew
  • [quote]Originally posted by Blizaine: I thought iDVD only worked with apples internal DVD-R drive and only DVD Studio Pro worked with external/"3rd party" drives... did they update iDVD? that would be cool. iDVD works with the pioneer drive (an…
  • Imagine that the PMs have been upgraded sufficiantly, and they are on equal ground (price to power) with the new iMacs. CRT iMac 1 .............$799 CRT iMac 2 ............. 999 iMac ][ 1 .............. 1299 iMac ][ 2 .............. 1499 iM…
  • Apple is able to ship new products very fast because they know that people, a certain number, WILL order the new products when they are announced. So they have a stockpile of the machines that are sent out the day they are ordered. Apple has a l…
  • It just seems like they have to do whatever they're going to do fast. Cause right now the low-end PowerMac is more expensive than the better-equiped high-end iMac. And any new Powermacs must come with Superdrive. I'm going for Tokyo. Andrew

  • Apple will be selling very few iMacs right now until march, when they're all ready. That's probably when the G5s will be ready as well. With a new look, of course. So APple desides to not do the G5 announcement (the other 30 minutes scheduled t…
  • They're not all pro MS. Steve Woz was on the other night. Andrew
  • They're releasing a 27inch monitor, but no one listens to em cause they're too busy worrying about iWalks and iTampons. Either way, when I bought a 350G4 with a 10GB HD I had to wait an extra MONTH (a whole month - I bought it mid-jan, they sent …
  • 27 inch Andrew
  • Things: Monitors Possibly iBook Possibly G5 Possibly G4 bumps Possibly LCD iMac Software New Gadgets. Andrew
  • A monitor.
  • Apple still makes a bunch of it's money in hardware. If OSX worked on PCs, they'd lose that. The only reason Apple doesn't already make a "PC" is because they use chips from Motorolla and IBM that others don't, and they don't support the "PC" ch…
  • Well, all that would make sense. ANdrew
