Something New Rant

Darko · Dec 10, 2004, 10:39 PM

I have a ipod and powerbook - seen the imac - but when is apple going to produce something new? Everything I can do with my Mac I can do on a dell (I'm a home user) for what seems as half the cost. When I purchased my first mac in '02, my non mac friends could not believe the specs and extras itunes, iphoto and osx (powerbook G4). Now the only thing cool is AE with iTunes, but I still need my mac the use it. iPod photos are cool but only so far, OS X is awsome and worth 2x the price, but come on, show me something good for my family room at MWSF. Something along the lines of an xserve for the home with wifi via an ipod, something to bring toghether all of the digital files I have. We all can see the pc as a home device (keyboard - monitor - box) gone in less then 5 years. The G5 imac will be the last great personel computer, Steve...what's next for my $5K?

You know, I agree with you, I have been thinking about the end of the home pc for awhile and am looking forward to a new integration of the digital content with the various content providers (TV-Radio-Internet-Home Content). MS has that pc version, but I’m looking to use only 1 HD screen for all my needs, Steve I know you have an idea better then mine. If you can’t do it now, let us know and we will save the $ till it’s here!

Buy your loved ones NBA tickets for xmas, they will love this game!
