I got chewed out for daring to suggest the new MacPro was a poor investment as it was still using Intels soon to be retired chipset and had no usb 4 support, so will say it again, would rather wait fo usb 4, thunderbolt 4 and a much newer Intel chip before I replace a desktop workstation even if that's one to two years away.

And rightly so. You don't understand/appreciate two years of lost production.

Over the next two years you could possibly lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions in production using the previous generation trash can Mac Pro. Anyone not seeing the value of the new Pro that is available now does not have the need for the new Mac Pro.

In two years time the current machine will still be worth a considerable amount for reselling to smaller houses that cannot afford a new machine.

I’ve got last year’s watch... ever-so-often the watch face will change to some random face... I have to get my iPhone out and change it back... now I’m wondering what’s maybe going on...

I’d had various AWs since launched on day 1, have not come across it switching to random faces. You don’t think you have multiple faces defined and accidentally touch-swiped it from one to another?

That’s exactly what’s happening. Happens to me a lot.

Wow, from that photo I might have to check this show out after all.

Always amusing to read people cite the Xserve as proof that Cook/Apple doesn’t get it. But Jobs on the Xserve: "Hardly anyone was buying them." That’s why they ‘lost interest’.

Did people stop buying servers or Xserve? There's more servers out there now than when Apple stopped making them.

Did anyone bother to ask Cook why no one was buying their servers? Or was it too easy to just accept his answer and move on so everyone there got invited to the next Apple event?

As bad as these Surface products are I'm glad someone out there is offering some competition for Apple.
