i don't know anymore; i just bought and am awaiting delivery on a powerlogix 550M G4 upgrade to my 450 G3 B&W powermac, so i'm fitting to wait at least 1/2 year before i buy - used - a current-gen 667 or 800 (don't need the 1GHz anymore; not for that kind of wampum).
Apple's modest upgrade strategy and the uncertainty of whether a G4 is even worth it to shell out big dough for pending next year's almost certain release of the G5/whatev., I think for my purposes (audio), rather than buying the fastest CPU to do more native processing, I'm going to spend that money on a used set of Protools Mix+ cards and an i/o box and get the emagic TDM bridge software and forget I was ever even concerned with the "bleeding edge"...
Personally, I don't care whether Apple is "falling behind" or whatever; I don't work for the company, I don't own their shares, it doesn't matter. I like their products and I believe there is a big enough base of users and developers offering unique advantages on the Mac platform that it won't go bye-bye anytime soon (not to mention the company's excellent corporate management - who is also responsible for their modest upgrade strategy, at least in part, no doubt). If people stop buying their stuff, they'll be forced to go to the well of ideas and pull out another miracle. Maybe it'll even be in a cool then-retro color like bondi blue!

Some industry experts think that Apple is close to saturating the high end market, and the only place left for them to expand (in computers) is the lower end. That doesn't mean cheap junk...just that they may have to accept lower margins on things like Mac minis if they want to continue to expand their market share beyond 5% or so.
It would probably be a smart move on their part. Better to slowly expand, at a little less profit per machine, than to remain satisfied with the status quo. More people buying Macs means more people buying Mac software, like iLife and OS X upgrades...and eventually, more Macs....
I think they would do well to offer a couple more Displays - on the lower end. Maybe not "Cinema Displays", perhaps "Mac Displays" - 15" and 17", similar design to the CD, but in Apple White?
If you could buy a Mac Mini and a Mac Display for say... £650-£800, I think they'd get a few more mac mini customers...

I love the iBook but it is definately not cheaper than the iMac in Australia. I have looked around and it, (the iBook) seems to be about $500AUD dearer than anywhere else, exchange rate adjusted.
A basic iBook costs $2795 and thats with G3 600 + 20GB + 12"TFT + 128MB + CDROM, while an iMac basic costs $2595 with G4 700 + 40GB + 15"TFT + GeForceMX + CD-RW + 128MB. This has got to change apple!!!
Yep, the darn things are even put together closer by than the US.
But don't old your breath. Apple Aus has never been good value (for price or service) and this will not change in a hurry

i apologize for calling you a troll when you are not a troll at all
i looked back on your previous posts and i found no evidence of you being a troll, so i can see why everybody defended you and wondered why i got so upset
there are real trolls on macrumors (alphatech calls them "newbies"), i won't metion any names, but i have just got to learn to ignore them and realize that maybe they have a different point of view...or that they sign up once and make a post to rile us up and then return to their pc machines ;)
some people, like one poster i got to know well from the past, but who got banned, actually contributed to macrumors even though his/her language was a little too salty
the first time i encountered this poster, he/she immediately challenged me but i realized it was the style of this poster and i let it go and we became kind of a team...i then became the second member of the anti zealot campaign, followed by mischief, then many others;)

Nope, dont think so. At some point they will have to dump backward compatibility and try an entire new design, apple was lucky that they could pull it off with 0s 9 -> X. No matter how hard Ms tries they will either keep some of the older now inadequate design or break someones applications, i say brak the apps, get it over with.

I second the above on both counts. Ubuntu is a great, easy-to-use Linux distro. Easy to install, and nice-looking too. :eek: It looks hideous! :eek: I'd recommend Kubuntu (it's KDE brother). It's usually a week or so late, but your eyes will thank you for it
I think if I HAD more experience with compiling kernals and what not, I'd probably go Gentoo or Ubuntu... My buddy uses Debian and Fedora Core exclusively. Ubuntu is designed for getting people over from Windows, hence it is as easy as can be. I think you may have gotten Debian and Ubuntu mixed up

Go to the sorce:

Or the many other fine outlets:
www.macwarehouse.com
www.maczone.com
www.macmall.com
I hate amazon.com they suck, and I even live in Seattle, HA!
You'll find that most Apple products (esp. their computers) don't neccerly will change price from one dealer to another.

I'm a little late to this party, but FWIW I don't see much of a difference between this and buying a CD (apart from its tangible nature). CDs are data discs without rights management, after all. It thus similarly boils down to the consumer's conscience.
[...]
Without going into the legal aspects of it, on the whole I cannot fathom any kind of moral problems with this. You're paying for the product -- and the ITMS pays labels a whole lot more than the other options, whether Russian or distributed.
From an alternate point of view, though, nobody in the 'scene' would consider a 128kbit AAC worthwhile downloading anyway..!
It's more than a copyright/fair use issue. Let's step back from that for a moment and consider this. It is different from buying a CD and ripping it to your hard drive. You created an iTunes account under which you explicitly agreed to abide by the terms of said account. Ignoring the issue of whether the copyright laws are fair and whether breaking the law is morally justified, here's the thing. You AGREED not to bypass or attempt to circumvent DRM, not to redistribute the files in any unauthorized manner, and to use iTunes alone to interface with the iTMS. And not just agreed passively, but EXPLICITLY agreed to those terms, and now you are breaking your word. How is that not morally wrong? If you didn't accept the terms presented, then there is no reason you should have agreed to them. It nullifies your power to complain. You said, "I don't think this business model is right" in your head, but clicked "I agree to these terms and conditions" anyway. Then you decide that the terms are inconvenient for you. Now you are breaking those terms, which in addition to being illegal on two fronts (copyright law and a legal TOS contract), is breaking your word. There's no way to construe that as morally sound.
To your final point, I agree that the quality of music sold is inferior, and most who would agree don't use the iTMS anyway. I use it for the incidental track that I like and come across randomly from various artists or that sounds good in the preview. My actual collection of albums demands a higher quality, and I hope iTunes offers 320kbps or lossless in the future for the same price. Then they'd make a lot more money from me, but I know that I'm not necessarily the target demographic. It certainly won't happen if piracy keeps its current rates, though.

I think that if the Gentoo Portage system for OSX comes along in a big way it would allow for a lot more Open Source apps to become much more widely adopted. Maybe someone will decide to port it to Windows, just to give them a taste of what they could have...

As dynamicv says, the answer is no. With Bulldog you swap both over - line rental for the phone and your broadband.
There are some LLU operators who allow you to stay with BT and just switch your broadband. I'm with Be* who work that way - and very good they are too

I wonder if anyone knows of a good app to use with my UMAX scanner that runs under OS X 10.3.
I get tired of rebooting from OS X to OS 9 just to use my scanner! :mad:
I tried launching the app that came with the scanner under OS X, but the drivers do not load and the app cannot find the scanner, (UMAX MagicScan 4.5).
Any suggestion? :cool:
Thanks All! :)

And, by an amazing coincidence, QEMU just happens to include a FreeDOS image...
The iEmulator site admits it's built on top of qemu. What's the big deal here, hm?
From the FAQ:
Is iEmulator based on the BOCHS emulator?
No! BOCHS is a fantastic, flexible effort, but we found it to be too slow to be "day-to-day usable" on the majority of hardware we tested with. In all of the tests we've tried, our solution, based on the powerful QEMU codebase, runs significantly quicker! Please note that QEMU is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard.
