Apple Refurbs

Just wanted to let people know that there are no refurb moniters at the apple store online. With that there are only Dual 1.8 G5's in there as well, they don't even mention the other processors or any of the monitors, could there be an update shortly????

Nice try NeatGekko - since you seem to be posting again across multiple forums, I feel it necessary to remind everyone in this forum of NeatGekko''s track record. How do you explain these comments, NeatGekko?

Since NONE of the above bold statements are true, and since everyone one here knows that, what makes you think you have any credibility in your statements anymore? How can anyone take your comments seriously anymore?

My thanks to Primalman for compiling this list

I don't know why the Gekko slammers care so much. Maybe Gecko actually does have some kind of inside lead into Apple? If he does, he certainly can't tell us because if he is an Apple employee he would be fired and if he is a friend of one his friend would be fired for passing this information.

I believe that it makes sense for the nest update to be 3 GHz, but I do want to know more from NeatGekko as to the exact date or timeframe of his update. I am currently waiting for a powermac update and need all the information I can get.

NeatGekko was correct about the mini iPods, why not give him another chance with these upcoming updates? Get another release correct, Gekko, and nobody will dispute you unless they have nothing better to do.

Actually if you want to be telling someone to get a life, perhaps you should direct your comment to Primalman - I'm sure he would be happy to discuss things with you. If you actually read my post, you would have noticed at the bottom that I cited Primalman as the one who compiled the list, not me. I in fact do not have enough time to compile such a list, nor do I want to, but since Primalman took the liberty...

And thanks for actually commeting on the content of my post. The fact that you completely ignored the content of those comments, and opted instead to take a cheap shot and immaturely say, "Get a life", backs up what many people have been saying on this forum even more.

Dito :D
 
I say give NeatGekko another chance. Let him check his sources and make one more prediction about the new powermacs. If he's right, you look like asses, and if he's not, you guys will be warranted to make whatever comments and disses you want.

You must remember one thing about NeatGekko. He is still way more accurate than MacOSRumors.

But the fact is that he eventually WILL be right - 3 GHz machines will EVENTUALLY come out, but that doesn't make us asses, nor does it make NeatGekko an oracle. :cool:

It's one thing when a poster comes out and says, "I hope..." or "I think..." or "It would be cool if..." - these are innocent predictions, and are fine by me. If they are right or wrong, it doesn't matter. But when you go around claiming to know exactly what will happen, state it as FACT, and do this multiple times, none of which come true, what do you expect? NeatGekko has been doing this for a long time, and it's getting old and tired. As I said in an earlier post, I'll just start saying that I have direct information from Steve Jobs that G5 iMacs are coming out this Tuesday. It's a fact, and I'll eat my left ankle if it isn't true. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. And then when this Tuesday passes, then it'll turn into a guarantee for the next week, and then the next week, and so on and so on - and then when they do come out, I'll start telling everyone I was right. Geez, anyone can do that....

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D
 
As I said before. Dates change. He was right about the iPod mini.

Maybe sales of the G5 were less than what was expected or perhaps there was a problem at the Fishkill plant. Who knows what the delay is or is it a delay at all?

If the next release is before the one year mark and it matches his predictions, then I'll give him some credit, not much. If he's 50% with the Mini's and the G5's that's not too shabby.

But I still expect to see him eat whatever it was he said he was going to eat... I want pictures.. .or better yet.. a video.

If you read my post completely I said to let him have one final, concrete prediction. For example, let him say "It's going to happen this day or this week." If he's wrong, he loses what left he has of his credibility, if he's right, then you guys better start the ass kissing.:D

Fair enough then invaLPsion - I'll await yet another prediction, and see what the results are, yet I still stand by my above statement. Giving him one more chance is fine, but you have to realize this is technically his "7th chance" or so at this point. You're a very generous person. ;)

I'm sorry , but Gekko is the *ONLY* person/source I know of predicting that 3 GHz G5s will come with the *NEXT* revision (and not the one after that). So *IF* they do come out in a matter of weeks, it *WILL* make you look bad and Gekko good. Simple. Not that I necessarily believe that will happen...

NeatGekko, That's your go-ahead. Give us a prediction! We want a week time frame or if you feel really ambitious an exact date. (I'm rootin' for ya)

***EVERYONE*** who kept up moderately with the rumormill knew pretty much for sure that the mini iPod was the main announcement at MWSF about a month in advance -- some people, more.

That was the easiest "prediction" in a long time.

Hmm, no, I've heard this theory increasingly espoused as time as gone on. You should expect this theory to only grow in its following, too, as the time between "now" (which changes) and summer will increasingly shrink, making it less likely to see 2 PowerMac revisions within that time period.
 
I'm not sure we'll see a powermac revision before 3Ghz anyways. Powermacs are still selling well and we're now too close to the promised 3Ghz mark. There isn't much of a reason to release a stepping stone to 3Ghz when Steve has promised 3Ghz this summer. I think we'll just jump directly to 3Ghz closer to this summer.

I disagree - there are plenty of people on these forums who are now saying, more and more, that 3 GHz might be the next logical speed bump. After all, if Jobs wants to hold himself to his "3 GHz by summer '04" pledge, I'm not sure if 2 steps make as much sense the more that time passes. Having said that, I would be surprised to see 3 GHz included in the next update, but if it does indeed occur, as I stated above, that does NOT make Neatgekko an oracle. He would have been an oracle if his initial "3 GHz @ MWSF" statement were true. Ergo, a 3 GHz speed bump will NOT make us look bad, and will NOT make NeatGekko look good.

I could go on, but taking advice from your sig, I won't say anymore. ;) :cool:
 
I just got PMed from Gekko with his current information and how he obtains his information. What he told me seems 100% credible and he provided lots of detail. I will not release what he told me unless he wants me to, however. But I will say that he did give me a timeframe of the 3Ghz updates which makes sense to me.

Sorry but I am not in the mod for oracle jokes. Give me the f***ing updates/dates/info!

I'm not implying anything here but.. Do any of the list moderators have access to source IP logs? I'd be interested, purely for random curiosity.. to compare invaLPsion's ip with NetGekko's.
It just occured to me that there is only one person sticking up for Gekko.. and that person has switched to pushing Gekko's story now.
