Just curious if you actually work in academia. Universities are not filled w/ profs making 200k a year. And if there are a few--they are few and far between, in large R1 institutions, and live in a big metro area in which the cost of living is wicked high. Sure--a lot of profs can do well with consulting on the side, but to suggest that profs routinely make 200k a year is just ignorant.
Score: 5, Informative... My Ass.
Yeah--my wife is an interior designer. We stopped by the Apple Store today after Church. Give an interior designer a picture of what it *could* be, and it becomes the gold standard.
Besides, I think it looks cool too...
So I guess that was my bad... In any event, I still don't get why Apple can't make a 17" model... But who cares anyway...
Is there Monitors... Sure I know that the whole point of the Mini is to connect to your existing monitor. But right now, I'm in the market to buy an entire set-up (as my current 20" CRT is dying). I don't really want to do the iMac, as it prohibits significant future updates... and their cheapest LCD costs 900 bucks!
So do I want a Mac? Yes.
I've been Wintel for the past 20 years, but forced my department to get me a dual 2-gig G5... I've been using it for the past year, and love it.
Will I buy the Mac? Still Unsure. I know I can get whatever LCD I want, but part of the whole Mac experience is to have a computer that doesn't look like ass...
So Steve, why the crap don't you sell a reasonably priced 17" LCD?

Wow--straight from the liberal agenda play-book. Love the original thinking.
