Apple Confirms Mac Pro Is Dead, No Future Models Planned

[BSDnostalgia]

I didn't know anything about Mac's back then. But I sure did know how to tweak XP to run like a beast.😉

No offense, but, my memories of XP were from a different angle than yours. I recall XP enthusiasts telling me that every app from every version of Windows 3.1, 95, 98, NT, and Windows 2000 would run on XP. Wasn't it great! And while that was no doubt true, it seemed like every vulnerability of every version of ... was also present. XP was a security nightmare. From my standpoint, the only good thing that came out of it was Bill Gates' personal discovery that security actually was important, which led to his 2006 memo and the push to make "Windows" more secure. And, that led to Vista, which everyone hated because a lot of insecure stuff stopped working, and everyone complained about it. What a mess. Thanks for reminding me. 😉

Watch, now Apple will release a Mac Studio Pro. Only after everyone buys the Mac Studio M5 first though.

It's funny I forgot I predicted the end of the Mac Pro (but missed that actual news) and the Mac Studio Pro line naming convention conjunction (well still waiting) but it's too obvious right?

I get all the comments that the Studio is the defacto pro in this topic but I can not help but see a Mac Studio Pro on the horizon when the Mac Pro inventory clears out. - Mac Mini - Mac Studio - Mac Studio Pro The Mac Studio Pro chassis can increase in height, if it is not pro enough now...

Also reminds me of the time back in 2016 when I spotted Johny and his nascent Apple silicon chip years before it was launched, and was first released via the Mac Mini like the prototypes.

Are these the most important Mac's you have never heard of until now? Nestled among one fascinating insight after the next is a passing observation. Is this a glimpse of the next major silicon pivot in the Apple story? In case it's not clear. This article focused primarily on the development...

I'm getting that feeling, that on the cusp excited more than I have in a long time.

Could be great things coming, that's really all I'm sayin' some Christmas come early maybe! (shipping then), ah a some mid-summer festive cheer would give structure to piggy financing plans.
