You are the only one 😉 read the earlier 250 or so posts grasshopper - welcome aboard.

"mini" powermacs???

No. Someone already asked about these in this thread. They are some kind of third party hard drive enclosures built to look like PowerMacs. They have been around for a while now.

Already been covered earlier in the thread, they are 3rd party hardrive enclosures....


Try reading the thread, or even a bit of it ..


Ahhh - Confucious say - Inauspicious first post for you newbie grasshopper!

EDIT: Wow boombashi, great minds think alike! Too much 70's television!

His mug has been on the cover of TIME magazine several times, not to mention so many other publications, television, etc...I think a few people know what he looks like.

My point is that's REALLLY odd. Just speaks of the "Mac Madness" some Apple users have. I mean, guys aren't staked out of whatever center Bill Gates is speaking.. The pic of him still in his car, then getting out. Just seems really nuts.

[Super Dave]

I know this is nosy... but man, I've noticed a lot of people waiting anxiously with their credit cards! be an interesting thread to see how much people have spent on apple products

I'll be spending $50 CDN (or however much iLife '06 costs for students, so long as it runs on a 1ghz G4).

[celebi23]

Just tried subscribing to a video podcast and got this error:

I know what I'm gonna buy tomorrow:
iLife '06 family pack ( for my sister & parents)
iWork '06 single pack
a new battery for my iBook G4

I thought I'd try timecanada.com, they're always good for a good leak or two, but no luck

Is there any way of showing all posts (or a really high number of them) on a single page. By the time I got to this thread it was over 10 pages long. I notice the "read the threads" posts a lot, but there's a LOT of stuff.

Sorry. I'm a dumbass.

My bad. Yes, I meant the picture of the mini powermac. Tried to follow the thread... but 500 comments... 😱

Dude, we're having fun. It's the run up to what is arguably the most important keynote in Apple's history and one that could forever transform the way we compute and , actually, redefine 'computers'.

The integration of the living room and the PC will be analyzed for years after the fact and Steve Jobs is the architect behind the move.

We're all excited and passionate about it. Someone took a pic. Heck, I worked for IBM for 7 years and was absolutely stoked to meet Lou Gerstner. And if there were others outside IBM who had the same passion I would have posted his picture too. As it stood, I posted it to the intranet and noone thought it was creepy.

With a user name like yours, and you pouring cold water on what is quite a fun thread, it really makes me wonder what your intentions are.

Yes, I AM a Mac fanatic but am also a 30 year old executive with an MBA. It's ok to feel like a kid before christmas sometimes.

Choose User CP at the top of the page and then, in the Control Panel that runs down the left hand side of the screen, choose "Edit Options." About 2/3 of the way down the page there will be a "Thread Display Mode."

Unfortunately, you can't go higher than 40 posts per page. But hey, that'll get this thing down to 13 pages!

😀

oh. oh. oh i see. 🙁

 

[amateurmacfreak]

How is it freaky? ( Seems fine to me )

Yep, same here? Why freakiness were you referring to? Maybe I'll go try to download something... a video or so forth.... 🙂 w/ gift certificates, of course, $200 left!

 

[eVolcre]

Will you STOP!! You just made the iTunes store go down with that smacking~

Man, there is NO way I am going to be able to tear myself away form this thread.

We should all take a group oath to stop posting till tomorrow morning. What say?

You first 😉

Sweet mother of ____!😱 WHATS THAT??? The new mini? It doesnt seem like a thing you would place in your living room (to cold it seems, i may look back and mock myself for that) The return of the cube??? Either way exciting!

PS: I was just thinking to myself "Dang, there seems to be not picture spoilers this year" but then BANG! its there😀

EDIT: Dang... Arn and Co. just love to pop my balloon.

Man, it says "apple specialists" in the non apple font above it. (It's helvetica, because the apple specialists try and look like apple but can't legally use Apple Myraid. That thing is some stupid HD enclosure that isn't worth a 10th of it's price. not apple like at all.

 

[virus1]

Juat to be pedantic ... announcing them, talking about them or mentioning them is, in fact, releasing them.

They may not be available for immediate delivery but that is a whole nuther topic (which is what I think you were implying)

😛

nah.. i take back announced. and mentioned is not released.

immediate delivery is not what im talking about either.

Ya know? I am trying to ruin your thread with a name like mine. You guessed it.

As far as the integration of living room and the pc, it's been done. Several machines released by Sony have tried to combine tv/computer/etc and many OTHER companies. Apple will do no better or worse and will not created some madness that hasn't already been created.

Fear me, I am a Windows user! *shakes head

I'm here and following this stuff until tomorrow, dumping all Apple stock (I've ran my course with it and wanna go ON with my life) and maybe buying a mini. Live with it or ignore me, I have an absolute right to post anywhere I want.

Why you had to turn this into some "KILL THE WINDOWS USER" madness is beyond me, but I know why I'm commenting on it. I've posted several times in many threads and have no agenda and if I did, I would find a much better avenue to walk and yell about it.

Someone has issues with me on a mac rumor site. I'll pick up the pieces and move on with my life, I promise.

Predicting most post on a thread ever for MacRumors and taking bets!

A thread in MacRumors w/ the most popular item release tomorrow will have over 4500 posts come Friday!

I think the G5 PowerMac got over 3500 posts but I don't believe not much more than that.
