any other mac users here?

However, they do overcharge you for the high end:

link to Powerbook in Apple Store

Notice the differences between the "faster" and "ultimate" models: You're paying $600 for 512 extra SDRAM (not even DDR), and for an extra 20GB worth of drive space.

Fire up that Steve Jobs' "Reality Distortion Field(TM)"..

Eh, I don't see much wrong in this. Apple is just raping the people dumb enough to buy it. When smart people buy a mac, they choose the CPU they want and then downgrade everything else (except maybe the optical drive). Adding it on from a third party is the smart way. All Macheads agree that the "ultimate" machines are usually a joke. OH, and expect a complete revision of the powermac line in july at macworld new york(we all hope)


shotgunsteve: if you have the chance to try a new mac setup you will see that the environment has been greatly changed and is IMO much better.

Anything would be an improvement over our current G3's. :disgust: Hell, give me an Apple IIE over these.

I use both platforms at work, but the mac I work on is a lowly 233mhz G3 with 256 megs of ram...I like the mac but this computer chugs.

I recently purchased a dual gig Quicksilver. 1gig of RAM and 240gigs of HDD space. But the best part is Final Cut Pro 3. 😀 It's almost like an editing utopia... Now if I could only afford DVD Studio Pro 1.5....

Still waiting for my free stuff from Steve.
