Yeah, I follow Apple and Macintosh news to the day now. I ever read the live feeds of all the Stevenotes on Engadget :-P
Chad got herself a iMac G5 17" last year, and I've fallen in love with it. January rolled around, and so did Macworld. I had my iMac Core Duo 20" delivered barely two weeks after Macworld! ![]() So yeah, I love it to bits. The 24" is utterly gorgeous, the screen, the graphics hardware, the new Core 2 Duo cpu... So lovely... The new iTV looks very nice as well. Here's a desk shot: |

I have an iPAQ Pocket PC. Music, internet, MSN Messanger, solitare. For music, I have a 1gb SD card. That holds more than enough music, and even some cartoons (cause Bugs Bunny is that damn funny). |

You know, a Nintendo DS costs about $130. A 4GB CF card costs maybe $100-$150. GBA Media Player and Max Media Launcher both cost $20. That totals $270 to 320 for something that plays more music formats and better games than iPod with 4GB of storage. ![]() |

Oh, they released iTunes 7.0 and the 1.2 firmware update for 5G iPods today. Aside from a bunch of neat features like downloading album covers, purchasing movies (US only) and an updated interface... THEY HAVE GAMES. *_*
I don't care for most of the 9 games available now, mind you, but I would *love* Tetris and Pac-Man for my iPod. ![]() |

With PC, I assume you people mean IBM PC clones*.
Becuse, as far I know Macintosh and even Lisa is PC's too. ![]() *(I start using that term now when Macintosh runs on X86 processors now...) |

NOT bashing macs, I just don't like them. Sorry, I don't. We use them in my Graphics I class with photoshop and it does what it was made to do. I'm just so used to PC and Windows. Besides, you can't use Windows programs on it (LM, a lot of emus, and of course, PC games.) I prefer the UI of Windows and PCs.

I think it's because you have to yell over all the PC "fans". ![]() |

Awww... Mac Mini... it's cuuute. |

I kinda picture Apple fans being spoiled brats now. ![]() I'm still using the same PC as when I joined Acmlm board with. xD I'm getting tired on it though... I like big screens though... ...1,999 USD? I get alot more in the IBM PC clone family for the same amount. ![]() Edit: On the other hand, it's probably the monitor that makes it so costly... |

I don't know how that's really possible for them to do it more often than anyone else really. I just think Apple users complain louder ![]() |
HyperHacker Posts: 3200/5072 |
Yeah, but I mean Apple does it often. ![]() |

Apple does this all the time. ![]() |

My ideal computer, (the most expensive mother f'n AlienWare, which I'll buy when I hit the lotto) would probably be outdated the day after I buy it, so your not alone.
As for DOA crap, the most annoying thing I've had is a flat panel with a dead pixel, on the taskbar in Windows. Not to annoying, but I see it everyday. |

HA! Just give me a newer mobo for my OG G3 iMac (350 MHz slot-loader, if you must know) and I'll be all set. That and a slot-loading DVD-RW. ![]() (pets the slightly damaged, but nonetheless worthwhile Indigo model) |
Tarale Posts: 1659/2713 |
Yeah, it has a line that intermittently appears down the screen. I don't blame Apple... DOA hardware failures can happen to any company. It's a fact that there are occasionally bad batches of components that wind up in various manufacturer's products (Sony Batteries, anyone?), and stuff like that. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'd like to convert them into well-rounded IT individuals who are willing to work with other operating systems besides Windows. ![]() ![]() If they join the Cult on the way... ![]() ![]() |

Originally posted by DarkdataOriginally posted by Tarale I'm also annoyed cause the 20" one was a D.O.A warranty ![]() I reckon Apple should give us a free upgrade ![]() But I doubt work will buy a new Macintosh any time soon.

I can't afford that 24" piece of hardware yumminess... ![]() EDIT: AWWWWW GOD FUCKING DAMMIT APPLE WHYYYYYYYYY ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
