Pre-Macworld Apple Offering/Prices

[SilentPanda]

Once MacWorld hits and all the offerings/prices go kerplooey I always like to look at the past offerings/prices. So I'll post 'em here:

Cool idea. Thanks for posting these.

 

[timnosenzo]

good thinking!

Now there should be less, "The PowerMac came with 324 MB of Video Ram before hand and now it comes with 12?!" posts...

I woulda posted the XServes but those and the displays just got updated so I figure now updates there.

If you can't remember the iPod specs and prices well... tough...

You can look them up on the Apple UK site. When you do, we'd all appreciate it if you post screen shots here.

Nobody cares...

(I'm kidding! But yeah. I'm only doing U.S. If you or anybody else wants others... feel free)

If Steve doesn't offer some decent updates, he will need to lower prices. That might help to overcome negative reactions.

Who cares!!

Great idea, though. I always find myself thinking back to past specs when new products come out.

 

[McMakMac]

Apple is actually quite good at keeping up with the most recent conversion rate, but because the Euro & GBP have gotten so much more expensive recently & VAT, Apple products are a little more expensive in THAT part of the world.

Just a little observation from living abroad

unrelated, but it would also be fun to see how many users/guests will sign up/browse MR today and possibly eclipse the previous high...

Most users ever online was 2652, 01-06-2004 at 03:14 PM.

that is as of 10:40am EST on 1/11/2005...

right now, there are ~1600 people at MR... (200 registered users, 1400 guests)

well, MR didn't eclipse the total from a year ago... funny how this MWSF saw introduction of two significant consumer oriented hardware and two software while last year, only big news was iPod mini/iLife 04 and people were fairly dissappointed.
