    to be disappointed by these new machines.

    Radeon 9000? It's not as fast as the 8500, which you can no longer get.

    The second ATA bus is only 66! Now WTF is going on here? If you put one ATA100 in, you might as well go the whole hog and put two in!

    Firewire stays as it was - 800mbits/second, needed if only for mind games with USB2

    The case has holes for firewire or usb at the front... but instead, they just leave them as holes.

    The case is the same with some plastic hacked on the front.

    Money on they won't bother putting different eject buttons for the different drives - hit eject on the keyboard, you eject both

    The displays are still as expensive as ever

    Bluetooth built in would have been nice

    I think that sums up. I'm waiting for the next lot, and hopefully they get rid of those shitty g4s by the time MW Jan comes around.
