I can see where you guys are coming from with the lack of update for the Pro line. But how I take it is that Steve is trying to bring the rest of the product line up to their (the Pro) level.

Steve was quoted by Engadget as saying: "...Two elements we've used in a lot of pro products: aluminum and glass. Phenomenal materials. Take aluminum, we use this in our pro products..."

While I agree that the Displays need to be updated to include iSight and everything else on the current displays.

Maybe he's not updating the Mac Pros (or at least delaying it longer) since the Professionals using the Pro Line can upgrade the computers themselves. It's not like an iMac with no chance to upgrade the video cards or HDD's.

Again I'm not saying that they shouldn't have to upgrade the Pro Line, I do agree they NEED to upgrade the displays. But that's just my reasoning for why they haven't upgraded the Mac Pro line for so long.

Yeah, I agree, the Mac Pro line is fine. I got mine October last year, and it is upgradeable. Heck, I could throw in two quad core Intel processor chips for an 8-core system, throw in more HDD's, upgrade my video card, etc. However, it's the display line that needs updating, as you stated. Front Row isn't available unless you use the "control-esc" keys as there isn't a built-in IR sensor for the Mac Pro to use, as well as many other issues. I'm just irked that they update something as trite as the keyboard, but haven't touched the display line in years...
 
Finally store is up!

...Clicking on the new iMac gives me a kernel panic "No instance available."

It's always been time for gamers to look elsewhere. Why on earth would you want to play games on a Mac :p What few there are actually available!

PC or console for gaming. Choose the correct tool for the job :)

UK store seems to be broken.
