New iMacs (and iPods)
Dilaudid writes "According to
this story at MacWorld Apple has just announced three new iMac models - all with Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme. More importantly there are new iPods too. Cool." The iMacs got a speed bump up to 1.25GHz, and the iPods were capacity-bumped up to 40GB.

"I have recently upgraded from a Mac 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM to a new G5 dual 2GHz with AGP 8X and PCI-X to help me at my freelance gig where I copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. On the G5 I spent about 20 minutes trying to install Adobe Arcobat 6. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that."
It sounds like you might be having problems with your internet settings (I'm wondering if you have dial-up, DSL, or a cable modem) or you just flat out got a lemon from the factory. Which just happens. I work IT for the University of Texas where we get boatloads of Apple machines and every once in awhile we get a lemon. Send it back and get it replaced.
However, I haven't encountered any machines (iMac, ibook, G4, G5) that has the same symptoms you've described. If anything like that happens it's usually due to our internet connection or router. So out of the 500 machines that I maintain, I'd have to say that your problem is not typical.
Also of note that you made a huge jump from a 8600 (possibly running anything from OS 8 to 9.2.2) to a G5 running OSX. So maybe (no flame intended) there might be some unfamiliarity involved?

You forgot to spell it "MAC." Also, your re-write of this classic troll is rather muddled and uninspired. You do not appear to be nearly intelligent enough to be an effective troll. Perhaps instead you could try copying and pasting scripts and pretend to be a hacker? Good luck!

I'd have to agree with the SCSi comment. Backing up my Xserve to tape burns too much cpu that network connections get dropped. Using the official Apple SCSI card, with Retrospect 5.1 - but it just spends so much time in the kernel that you'd think it was busy waiting.

Thats about the only problem I have with OS-X though - apart from that its pretty solid (and I run the backups in the middle of the night anyway
You use a Mac. You suck, subhuman.
