FCC Photos of the PowerMac G5, Bluetooth, and AirPort

[MacRumors]

The FCC's site contains some photos and documents related to Apple's PowerMac G5:

Airport Extreme installation Instruction Manual
Photos of the PowerMac G5
Bluetooth and Airport Installed

In general, nothing particularly revealing -- and these documents were posted on June 23, 2003 - the first day of WWDC when the machines were announced. No other new documents are available, and no evidence of Bluetooth mice or keyboards.

Thanks to miradu.

I think the FCC server is particularly suseptible to overload

here's the airport instruction manual:

AGAIN, NON NEWS

Another traffic-generating post. No news, no new information, graphical or otherwise. I'm starting to grow pretty tired with macrumors "info feed" that takes the place of news.

I would suspect those are keyboard shortcuts for their favorite application.

 

[anubis]

stuff on powerbook

I think you're referring to the thin plastic film on the display of the powerbook. All powerbooks (at least all powerbooks i've ever gotten) come with a sheet of plastic stuck to the screen to prevent scratches and damage during shipping.

i dont think i will ever get used to the g5. i think its so fugly. i got used to the imac g3, ended up buying one, i got used to the G4 design. I used to hate the alu design too but now i thiink its uber-cool.

SUmmary:

alu, G4, imac g3, cube=good
g5=bad

 

[skymaXimus]

Cool, Macs on a holo-deck!

 

[macman13]

I think the Power mac looked better when it had more curves in it....

 

[dstorey]

Does anyone know if you can add the bluetooth internal module at a later date, or if you have to add it when you purchase the computer? I know oyu can buy a usb dongle but this takes up a usb port and isn't as tidy a solution.

As bluetooth isnt standard on the powermac, there is no way that they will come with a new wireless mouse/keys, unless its a bto option when you purchase the bt module..

looks

That Powermac would probably look better on MY desk....
