Nice collection. Your Turbo Color station is in great shape. I wish my desk was regularly clean enough to take pretty pictures of my Mac and NeXT hardware.
Not to start a flamewar, but there are a fairly large number of graphics pros who won't switch over to InDesign until Quark goes out of business (perhaps not even then.) The InDesign tools just aren't as comfortable or fast. There are some features that are hard to resist (PDF integration for one), but it'll be a hard road to travel.
Yea, basically the things that deal with the OS. iTunes does because it also includes the whole CD-R system. Half of the darned OS is based on QuickTime. Etc.
I'm not bashing them at all. I had a Centris 650 for years. It was a wonderful machine. I loved it. I still like the beast (it's doing word processing work at my dad's office probably almost ten years later.)

Juggle nine windows? Geez, you're not using your Mac right. I regularly have more than 100 windows open and the Dock is all I need to handle tihngs with aplomb. I did that with my Pismo (1024x768 LCD), my desktop Mac (1280x1024 LCD) and my new PB G4 (1280x854). The Dock is very powerful if you let yourself like it.
It's the particle released when you smash together two Apple Centris Macs. Because there aren't many Centrises available anymore, they couldn't use as many Centrinos per chip as they wanted, so they had to drop the speed back down to 1.6GHz.
That's what's cool about Apple. The implementation of USB on the original iMacs was just USB in a pretty lousy disguise. PC motherboards had been coming with USB ports for ages, but there were not all that many devices for it until Apple kicked off the market. Apple makes cool technology but it also makes people realize the potential in technologies that already exist.
See, the thing is that most of the PC with neon and windows and all that crap are ugly as sin. The last time I walked into CompUSA and saw the "pro gamer" section, I laughed out loud. What ever happened to taste?
That ad got a lot of flack, and I ignored it as I hadn't seen the spot. Last weekend, though, I was checking out the Apple store in NYC and got to see it. She was right! Assume it's Christmas. Dad just got a digital camera. He takes a picture of grandma and wants to print it out on his new photo printer. He plugs the camera and printer into his Windows PC and spends an hour downloading the XP drivers (because the camera only came with WinME), and there's some strange daemon keeping the parallel port open. -OR- He plugs all the devices into his Mac. iPhoto comes up automatically and he removes grandma's redeye and crops the picture down, then prints it out five minutes later on the new printer.
That's why I want a Mac. I can (and do) deal with Windows dumbness, but I don't want to have to. On my Mac, I can just do more. My friend tried to get his digital camera working for hours before I came over with my PowerBook and plugged it, opened iMovie, and produced results. That's why I have a Mac.
Judging from the performance I've seen from this Cybernetics Corporation device, I would never purchase any Ps1t generator that they sold. The technology just isn't mature enough yet. I'm sorry.
When I hear something like "changing font settings," I think of installing XFS or activating a new font to use in Explorer by using some funky tool. It doesn't make me think about the convenience and simplicity of adjusting a popup menu in the main configurator.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but most things that are useful with PCMCIA nowadays are also being released as USB implementations as well. Not a refutation but something to consider.
No need to change font settings (or install a font server or upgrade your drivers and get a faster processor -- this isn't Linux or Windows.) The user simply needs to turn on Font Smoothing in the General control panel.
It's a nice idea, but I suspect the Pismo's bus and cache situation would make upgrading to a G5 either difficult or expensive. I do trust that the cool Mac upgrade folks will come out with something eventually, though.
I had a Pismo 500 until about a month ago when I got an 867 G4. The difference is absolutely amazing. The screen brightness alone is enough to make me glad I did it. The speed is amazing, the size is a delight, and the resolution is wonderful. The only thing I miss is the AirPort+PCMCIA slot, an IR port, and the ability to use two batteries. Those aren't really major problems, though. Great machine.

I know at least one professional carpenter who hates DeWalt tools because they're yellow. Does that count?

If you had the newer, slower chip, you wouldn't have gotten the first post. Because, as we all know, Intel chips make the Internet go faster.

Eh, it applies. (And I'm saying that as one.)

See subject. AB is cool.
As a NeXT user, I'm glad it went the way it did :-)
It's a neat idea, but NEXTSTEP/OpenStep are very, very cool technologies.
It's the rule of obstinate ignorance.

You're right, though, essentially.
That and reinvesting in B5. Maybe funding Crusade of Legend of the Rangers. But that's just me.

G4 processor + DDR RAM + SuperDrive = professional notebook in the Apple world. It's just a really small professional notebook.
