Yes, that is correct. But checking Macrumors 40x a day is really really like a drugPls, bring on the MP so I can finally rest
You will not rest. You will instead be checking Order Status 40x a day. You fool none of us... for we will be doing the same.
Mac Pro feedback submitted, and not very nice feedback at that.
E-mail sent to Steve Jobs. I doubt I'll hear anything back from him.
If people are as mad as I am at Apple's total neglect of the Mac pro since its inception, I suggest you submit Mac Pro feedback to that effect, and e-mail his Steveness to let him know exactly what you think. Power to the pen!
Will you get a response? Probably not. At the very least Steve will realize that his prospective (waiting) Mac Pro buyers are pis*ed off.

Yea, I just sent my feedback, again. I wonder if it ever gets passed on. This is really starting to make me mad. I need this machine, NOW!

Darth, send an e-mail to Steve Jobs too.

What's his address, and do we really think he is checking it? I think he would have his box set up as junk mail. lol
I sent an email to Steve Jobs a couple days ago about my G5 problems. Today I get a call from Apple that they will be giving me a new Mac Pro.
Apparently they read all those...
sjobs@apple.com
I guess what we sometimes for get is that the Mac Pro is a pro machine, which means stability/reliability is very important to pro users and not having entire collections of applications that aren't supported on a certain machine is very important.
Apple released a bunch of updates today, (good sign), updated the pro apps to support leopard and, (this allows them to update the mac pros with hardware that isn't supported by tiger, and since all of their apps will work flawlessly, we won't bug them for an ability to downgrade).
I think that once apple releases 10.5.1, we will see the update.

I thought that it was steve@mac.com...
Anyway, that mail would go to some email-readers in the CEO office, only summaries or an occasional gem would actually show up in the Inbox of The Lord God Jobs.
But summaries could be a good thing - "Oh, your exalted highness - we received 1,393 missives from the plebes begging for your lord to address the disgraceful state of the current workstation offering". "We also were deluged with 327,392 petitions for an affordable mini-tower."
That's where I sent mine.... Maybe they will actually do something about it if his e-mail address gets multiple e-mails requesting they update the outdated Mac Pro with new components.
There have got to be red flags that go up if his e-mail gets a ton of hits about the same thing.
That is indeed the email address. After having tons of trouble with my iPhone I sent an email there. We have been sending iPhones back and forth til I get a good one, plus they are giving me an Airport Extreme for my trouble. So yes, it works, in some cases at least. For this kind of thing, I don't it will. The feedback page may work better for that.
Lord Blackadder?
No, I've heard from friends who've worked at One Infinite Loop that any Conversation with The Lord God Jobs begins by dropping to one's knees and lowering your gaze to the floor.
Nasty if you run into The Steve in the elevator on a rainy day - you have muddy knees the whole day....
Sent a long winded email, kept the tone light, hopefully they at least consider a price reduction in the current lineup so current buyers don't get totally screwed, but I'm not holding my breath
whynot post it here? I would like to read it even though I ain't no el Jobso.
well i just ordered a 30" Dell LCD ($1259 shipped)... I'll save some money up through xmas and buy a MP in Jan.
I was really hoping to use my money for a MP upgrade, this week... but I guess I'll be waiting a few weeks.

Well, my theory is that Apple won't release the new Mac Pro until this thread reaches 2,000 posts. So here's my contribution to getting us all there...

That is funny as I had the exact same prediction in this thread few pages before this one. Come on guys, lets reach 2000 today
Please let this thread die soon!
Oh please please let it die.
If the lot of you hadn't already realised, it'll get released when all the components are available in adequate quantities. Whinging and moaning how Apple doesn't love Mac Pro enough is ridiculous. The clue is in the name 'PRO' it gets updated in a cycle appropriate to a pro product. ie. not every time ATI or Nvidia fart out a new graphics card, nor each time intel craps another ultimate extreme dual core/quad core chip.
Dell still aren't selling an equivalent to this threads title, so don't expect Apple to.
I've been using my Mac Pro since Oct of last year and with the exception of a cooling issue in August, have been extremely happy and when the new one comes out i will happily wave at it whilst i pass by, because the *workstation* does everything it was designed for.

What exactly did you send as feedback? That you're mad he hasn't announced new machines with chips that aren't even shipping for weeks?
Seriously, with new chips just announced, do you honestly think they don't have new machines planned? And that an email is going to affect when these machines ship or what they have AT ALL?
We realize it will be released when the components are available. However, some people are working on the assumption that Apple snatched up a lot of the early chips.
Now, this "Pro" garbage. What may I ask is a "pro update cycle"? I am assuming you have advanced knowledge in this subject considering you pulled this non-sense out of your arse. No wait, I will look to the Macbook Pro, that has "Pro" in its name, maybe it will be similar. Let's see, the Macbook Pro has been updated 4 times since its release (5 if you count the 17"). http://support.apple.com/specs/
I guess that must be a "pro update cycle," but wait, the Mac Pro hasn't been updated once since its release. Even if we look at updates since the MP release, the MBP has been updated 3 times.
So, what is this pro update cycle again? Because the MBP sure seems to follow the pattern of updating "every time Intel crapped out another chip," which you seem to think is ridiculous...
What does Dell have to do with this? Do we expect Apple to be a leader or a follower? In the world of Intel they have been a follower thus far, so maybe you are right. We will wait for Dell to come out with a machine like this, then we can expect Apple to have one.
Further, I have not been using a Mac Pro since October of last year, if I was, I would not really be looking at the next Mac Pro. Only in the summer did I look, at which time I decided to wait since the current Mac Pro is no longer a value considering the lack of any update in well over a year and today there is even more reason to wait considering the significance of the Harpertown line which drops chip process to 45nm, increases the clock and efficiency per clock at the same price point, more cache, new motherboards, etc etc. And the new one will do everything it was "designed for," whatever that means, they could have designed it to play pong and your statement would still be true. How about some real world stats, or at the very least not a useless tautology. Maybe something like, "it does everything I need it for and more."
Better yet, just move along as you are clearly aren't needed nor wanted here since you will be passing by this update. I never understand why people who are "happy" with their machine feel the need to come into a thread that doesn't concern them and attempt to burn everyone with some illogical argument/rant and say how "happy" they are. Are you really? I know if I was I would be using my machine.
And that's just an assumption. Nobody knows for sure that apple is sitting on a big pile of the new chips, do we? While we've had rumors for weeks, Intel just announced their chips four days ago and said that many won't be shipping for 45 days.
Sure, the laptops have had more upgrades, but hasn't intel released more mobile chips in the same timeframe? Has there been a big xeon update that apple didn't take advantage of?
While you're not happy with the update cycle, isn't that more of an issue with Intel since they've taken a fairly long time to update their top end chips? Is there another chip apple could have updated to months ago that would have been an improvement? What PC's are shipping now that have better hardware than the current mac pros?
