I was thinking of buying a new mac pro once it went octo and 10.5 was announced along with iLife'07'? That way I get the most recent tech and software at the sametime.

Ah, but if you wait for Leopard in April/May then something even better for the Mac Pro will only be a month or two away after that, and then after that another update, and then....

Please don't make me think about this any more than past March. Commiting is the hardest part of buying a mac.
The easy part is dreaming about a new mac.

I've fallen behind on my Intel tech but I am thinking about getting a new mac pro when it goes octo.

What's the biggest difference between two quad Kentsfields in an octo mac pro or two quad clovertowns in an octo mac pro?

Is there any big reason to wait for newer tech beyond this first quarter?

My plan is same as yours. But I will buy the first 8 core Mac Pro as soon as it ships. I'm likely to buy the Developer Connection $500 kit that includes a big discount on one Mac + Leopard when it ships. Should break even or even save a little on the 8 core that way.

no car.

I wanna do some tourist stuff, I've got a city guide from national geographic, but I think I wanna see some things that only locals now. It's the same in every city in the world: The best places are kept secret Those are the ones I wanna see Some cool Bars perhaps, a nice restaurant, ... you know, fun stuff.

Bar: Slim's. It's near the Oakland Bay Bridge, and there's a concert almost everynight, but It'd be worth it, especially if you love rock.

Restaurant: Zachary's Pizza. It's amazing! It's been voted the best pizza in the bay area for several years. It does require a trek over to Oakland, but it'd be worth a cab ride. (By the way, there's nothing else in Oakland. Zachary's is considered to be in Berkeley, but is technically Oakland. Just stay away from the rest of Oakland.) Be warned that it's $4 and a large portion of your time to cross the Oakland Bay Bridge because they're "building" a new one, but if you want a nice restaurant, this is it.

A boatride to Sausalito or Alcatraz is always fun (more of the former than the latter, in my opinion.)

Here's something fun: Walk the Golden gate from the city to Maurin (the county on the north side) and back and stop by one of the beaches nearby while you're at it.

Visit the giant Apple Store that I prefer to call the Mac Mecca.

You can ride on a cable car, which is a lot of fun, but it requires a LOT of waiting.

Ghirardelli Square has nothing there to do, but is something to see.

Pretty Sights:Mount Diablo is an amazing site (you can see Yellowstone from the top of it on a good day)! It's in the East Bay, and it might be hard for you go get there, but I really really encourage you to go there if you can. The Muir Woods and Stinson Beach are also very highly recommended, especially if you love to see pretty sights.

And, of course, you can always find things by just walking around.


Out of all of these, besides the touristy things, I'd highly recommend you see the Muir Woods of Mount Diablo. They're amazing! My sisters live in the East Bay, so I know more about that area, but I know San Francisco pretty well and those are my recommendations and un-recommendations.

Have fun in San Fran! Tell me how it goes!

Thanks for the info!

That's a good idea about the developer connection kit. It never occurred to me that this might be a good way to go considering I will want to upgrade to Leopard if the Octo is released well before leopard.

aussie am

any aussies worked out what time inthe morning I have to get up to watch the coverage.
BTW MR- last years guy who wrote the commentary got it right. Few opinions of his own just direct description of what was said and seen.

As in times past it's best to use ye olde clock widgets!!

Open up 2 of them.
Set one to Cupertino
Set the other to your geographic location

When the Cupertino clock says 9AM look at your local clock.
That's the time you should use.
