NO MORE G4!
I SENSERLY hope apple will NEVER EVER release a pro tower with the G4 in it again (after the new Dual 1GHz G4). now that everyone know the G5 is REAL and and DOES exist, no one will be happy to see yet another G4 tower upgrade! the dual G4 1GHz IS SIMPLY THE FASTEST computer EVER built by apple computer! and will -NON SEXUALY- violate ANY other PC OR MAC out there! when the new towers first came out peope all over the net started talking about how this COULD be the LAST G4 tower EVER, "COULD" only because apple wouldnt confirm it, as it could harm there sales and uncle steve dosent want to blow the surprise just yet! EVERY 6 months a computer (from apple) is updated, the iMac and G4 towers where done not that long ago, the iBook iPod and Tibook have yet to be touched on recently (however the ipod is not a computer and probably wont get upgraded, maby a lower price....) when people say new hardwear they dont nessasarly mean ALL the computer just the ones that havent been touched in the last 6 months.
and the fact is the iBook and Tibook are considered old modles in the computer world, and WILL be updated in the next Macworld. the iMac and G4 towers will NOT be touched untill Macworld NY. and for all you who think thta apple will release the G5 in Macworld SF, WHAT ARE YOU ON? the now new G4 towers will be a year old by then! you honestly think apple would put a new G4 chip its towers? even after the Dual 1GHz G4? THEN a G5? That would kill apples Pro users! and there sales! even apple was shocked at how low the orders are for there new G4 towers! the iMac is still the king of the ring with orders from here to pluto! the G4 towers however powerfull THEY ARE, they still are not what the rest of the world will react to the most, a G5 released soon, would make everyone say ohhh ahhhh i want that!
its the same with the PEE CEE market when the Pentium 3 was the best of the best evey one had one, then the next day the pentium 4 came out and every one though it would be THAT much better and just had to have one to be the cool kid on the block! exactly the same as Graphics cards, the Gforce 3 was HUGE when it came out! every one had to hav one, and those that did get one are now left in the dust, the gForce 4 has come out now and is suposed to be better, so ppl want that now! all you people trying to stay at the top of the "technology race" are RETARDED! unless you can aford to pay 2000$+ EVERY 3 to 6 months just to say you have the best of the best, your waisting your time! and money! i know there are still people out there EVEN on this board who still have and use a PRE G3 computer and are happy with it becaue it does what they need it to do! and when they do upgrade, THEY will have the best of the best because they waited, and benifit more from a speed increase of a 603 to a Dual 1.8GHz G5!!!! not from 733MHz to 867 or even 933! you people will BAIRLY notice your increas in speed! youl only be able to TALK about your upgrad and save 2-2.5 seconds of your time in photoshop!
and just what am i using, what i can mock all you people who have to have the best of the best? a iMac 500MHZ G3 DV SE, thi sbad boy was top of the line when i got it, and now look at me! left in the dust! but do i care? NO! Y? because i have better things to do with my time than try to have the best of the best. But if your hobby is computing and you enjoy haveing the best of the best, thats cool to! you do your thing ill do mine!
-peace!
