I agree , we could have a sticky called 'Useful Apps' where there would be categories like 'Video','Audio','Browsers' etc.
Got a tip for us?

Totally agree, that was the original intention when we pushed for the sticky to be there in the first place but it just hasn't caught on.
We need structure otherwise everything's going to go down the pan.

It's all in there in the fantastic FAQ skinniezinho wrote. We just need to use it.
Oh yeah , forget my suggestion then , I didn't realise they had that in the FAQ(I normally get my software info from blogs).
I think they'd just be a mobile company or that macs would be niche market - I'd still like to get one though.
my desire for macs didnt take effect until i was in high school when they are what i used the eMacs and iBook G4s specifically however i did use PowerMac G3 All In Ones and iMac G3s in elementry school and id love to get one but they are so rare
I love the
Powermac G5
Powermac G4(QS and MDD)
iMac G4 20''/17''
Albook g4 15''
iBook Clamshell
eMac
and MacMini
the Mac Pro and PM G5 are considered workstations is the MDD G4 also concidered a workstation?
What the hell kinda trolling is that?! Why on eart come on the mac rumours forums to slag off macs, especially considering u use computers with Celerons!
no im not putting macs down they are great machines and outlive a mast majority of PCs im simpley stating that they DO NOT need to be as expencive as they are and only computer i have with a Celeron is my laptop which i pretty much NEVER use anymore
mistype: meant to say that there were no POWERBOOK G5's! I corrected the original post...
It doesn't matter what YOU think they should be priced. If you don't want to pay the price, then leave it to someone who does, which is the majority of people here.
As for your eBay comment in another thread that you have started, and which has been discussed many times before... A lot of these sellers have no idea about the value of what they're selling, and they look to find buyers who don't know any better than to spend $700 on old tech. There is nothing you can do about it, it"s just life. But again, if you won't buy it, just leave it for someone else who will. If Apple couldn't sell their computers at the price they are now, do you think they would have lowered it YEARS ago? It's not like they're losing money from not selling Macs. They know better than to not over produce and limit their stock.

Ehhhh... Probably not.
The G4 was designed to compete with the Pentium 4. The G5 was designed to compete with the Xeon. To get to workstations you really need to be on a Xeon/Opteron level.
G4s were dual processor which would normally take them into workstation territory. But the G4s were so slow that dual processors were just to keep them competitive with the Pentium 4, it never really bumped them into workstation territory.
