    Although I could never afford one of these machines (I'll admit it, I'd pick one up if I had a wad of cash), it might be worth picking up since I think it will be the last in an era. The next generation of Apple computers will run Intel or AMD 64 bit processors with the Linux-based OSX.

      OSX is Linux based, in case you haven't updated since 7.4.1.

    The OS is from the BSD/Darwin folks. The chip is from IBM. Um, so what is it that Apple actually designs or produces anymore?

    Very true, but the Apple Zealots, and they are fanatics, are worng once again. It is an underpowered, barely upgradeable piece of Apple dung. What would an Apple user do when confronted by a multi-button mouse? Hopefully kill themselves from utter inability to grasp the concept. Apple ceased to be news of any kind right after the Lisa came out!

    I don't care if Quicktime is open source, free software, or dictated to a trained monkey by God himself and compiled in secret.

    I seriously hope that you'll end up losing your money to these bloodsucking companies and come to realize how wrong ("torturing babies"-class wrong) supporting proprietary closed software actually is.

  14. Finally!! by Dukael_Mikakis · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    An apple that can run at the speed of a P4!

    Actually, my roommate last year got a G4 and I must admit that it was a beautiful machine. I was impressed, and I'm sure that the G5 is even better.

    However, the manner in which his buying an Apple (he previously used PCs) turned him into a self-righteous dickhead was not at all impressive. Yet another Apple zealot to deal with.

    And anyway, I'm a little suspicious of anything that Steve Jobs tells me to lick.
