Your talkin crazy... going back to Windows??? you need to take a deap breath... we are all under alot of stress right now. You wounldn't want to do anything crazy now would you??
 
when he tried to have it sync up with itunes2 nothing happened. he sat there for about a mintute until he just gave up. oh well, I know it works, im surprised it didnt
 
He said

Steve said "Anyway, you know what it's supposed to do." When the iPod demo didnt work.

That probably was imbarising. Have you guys see the video of Gates at a demo and he crahsed windows? He got the blue screen of death live on TV and infrot of a huge cowd at a Keynote. He said "It still has some bugs" That was the understatment of the year.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! wtf. so imacs are going to be just as powerful as their powermacs now.
 
I DON'T BELIEVE IT ALL THAT HYPE FOR THE LCD IMAC NOTHING SPECIAL, IMAC 800 MHZ, POWERMAC 733
 
that was a bit much

That was a bit much hype for just a new iMac. I was expecting a new Apple toy. The iMac is cool.. but its not like im going to run out and traid in my 867 QuickSilver for one. I was fully expecting to be maxing out my credit card this week. Oh well. It was fun anyway. Can't wait to get home and watch the Keynote that I taped off TechTV. I hope I rmemebered to turn off the VCR....
 
Please don't get upset with me if someone has already mentioned this... it's pretty sluggish getting around to read all the posts at the moment. I'm sure you'll agree. :D

Anyone noticed that the old iMacs are still available starting at $799?

BTW: I've been playing with iPhoto for the last half hour and it is very cool!
 
you forgot:
iMAC 800 mhz with a flat panel display: $1800
PowerMac 867mhz with no monitor: $2500

what a crock of *****
 
Now, wait a minute...

I think that everyone here is underestimating the full impact of what Apple has unleashed on us today... Consider the larger picture... you can now get a COMPLETE G4 system for $1300... Do you really understand what that means in the marketplace? AND do you really think that Apple is going to let the PowerMacs fester under such tight configurational competion for too long? I think not... The groundwork has been laid.
 
just wondering if anybody knew about this as I haven't been following apple's release strategy for too long. Does apple ever release speed boosted comps without a big event? like could we see a dual 1.4ghz powermac in the near future or will it not be until the next macworld?

The answer: it's always a big event when Apple releases new products/upgrades (ie: most recently iPod)... However, they don't necessarily have to coincide with an Expo...

I think desktop market should disappear for home users... everyone should buy ibooks instead imacs... mobile is the next thing... imacs are nice for internet cafe's
