    Not to be a spelling nazi, but that should be eHancements. ;)

    These things are all good, but wouldn't it be much simpler to accomplish all these performance improvements by releasing THE NEW G5 POWERBOOK!! COME ON, APPLE! I'M DYING HERE!

    Thank you.

    My Visa is ready, since I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs reads Slashdot.

      Good Lord, that'd be wrong. :-) Consider that the internal temperature of my G4 PB 1.33 already reaches 125 degrees under normal conditions, and 128 under CPU-intensive conditions, with current cooling technologies.

      Now consider the effects of 150 - 180 degree temperatures on the male genitalia.

      Nothing says G5 quite like "boiled eggs"...

      Dude, I'm from Canada. The flaming heat of the G5 isn't a bug, it's a feature.

      In fact, it's more than a feature, it's a life-support system for when I'm buried in an Avalanche.

    15 minutes to plow through over 2000 photos is pretty good if you ask me.

    As for iChat, it seems like the beta version, but final.

    I don't even need to say anything about this sentence.

    I'll explain that right after you explain why you're using iChat on your mission-critical server that needs five-nines availability.
