Well, if I own a 15" iMac is not because of the price only, 15" are nice, small and easy to place on any desk top, the 17" looks like a mentally challenge computer, it takes a bit more room, it is ugly an heavy. In my case I rather have a 15" for what it does.
.... I'm just realising we are talking about the new iMacs, sorry :D

i do hope apple puts 512mb ram as standard! 256 really isnt enough - especially for the G4 Tower :o

My understanding is that the Origami concept models had some serious limitations... they were rather bulky, and they did not have substantially better battery life than notebook computers. I think the core idea sounded like it had merit, though....

I cleared my cookies and it took my to the US homepage auto matically and my browser froze. :( I hope they leave the Canadian site without video on start up. I have fast internet but my current PC is only a mere 700Mhz AVG Athlon. :( *waits for MacBooks(haha I typed boobs at first)*

I don't think post count should have anything to do with it. I signed on in Nov 01 and didn't post until 2002. And I'm not the only one who's put 1000 posts up in one month.....

You're right Altivec does it better.
Apple will probably begin pushing more usage of the term Velocity engine instead of Altivec

*** On the lab table, one sees an aged and forgotten thread, dusty and desiccated. ***
*** An evil genius (or mad idiot) stands, hand on switch. ***
*** The switch is pulled down. ***
*** Bolts of lightning arc through the room. ***
*** "It's ALIVE!" ***
I think MacRumors has never had a very big "community" feel to it... it's always been very functional. Mac Rumors w/ discussions. ...
I came across this while verifying Mr. Anderson's previous identity. Yes, it makes me feel like a new pup given the vast age of others' memberships (although I'm now in something like the 33rd percentile in terms of seniority).
However, I'm posting because I think that, at least to me, the forums do provide a fair sense of community. Perhaps it was missing for a while, back in those years before I stumbled into the light, but I think we feel like a community now. Any of the elders care to comment?

I've seen no prove that Apple knew what was going on, if they had, and let it go, well i'm sad, but i'm not going to assume the worst until we have proved it

I've said this before in another thread, but I'll say it again - I believe the stars are aligned for Apple to release Tiger to other manufacturers. IBM and Sony come to mind. That would definitely add fuel to the fire :eek:
I highly doubt that it will be licensed to other platforms where it won't run as well as it would on the native Apple machines. You may be right that it could be released to IBM and Sony for use on Apple-based hardware, so that it is not usable on, say, HP's, Dells, eMachines and the like. I think it would make a dent in Apple's hardware sales, but it would be the first step towards really stepping into the limelight and taking over. Be afraid, Microsoft, be very afraid.

Well there are multiple parties to blame...the gamers who are so eager to get the last frame per second in speed they forget that they can't really see that many frames per second, and for that matter not demanding more processing speed and instead trying to demand more video processing speed. The programmers who are too reluctant to add altivec code to their programs when it would improve the speed of their software, and instead listen to the gamers and try to program for the favorite graphic cards used by gamers.
See if games were to use the CPU instead of the videocard and use Altivec anyone with G4s could take advantage of the higher speed Macs. As it is now, many games require specific graphic cards to even be optimized. With dozens of PCI graphic cards out there, can you imagine the headache programmers are going through to try and write API code for each potential graphics card out there? Why not just demand more Altivec based programming? Now that both the eMac and Flat Panel iMac offer Altivec, you can have your perfect Mac game machine in an $899 refurbished eMac.
You have 128 bit processing via vector processing o n the CPU...demand that your programmers program for it. It isn't like it can't be done. If Genentech can do Blast 5 times faster on a Mac than any PC, you can get your game 5 times faster if you just write enough angry letters to the programmers to get their act together. The G4s are powerful enough. You just aren't asking for power where it is already available.

Will this become some sort of exclusive forum that newbies can't enter?
And why are you posting as a guest if you don't mind me asking. You still show up in the member list so your account is waiting :confused:

1. New RHCP CD sucks if you happen to be like me and like their older stuff (Like Give it Away). I've had the CD and listened to it once and probably won't go back.
2. MS is announcing that they're delaying Vista even more and Nintento came up with a name even more retarded than Wii :D
3. Hopefully :)

looking at the competition to the ipod, like tha crappy toshiba ripoff, apple has no reason to lower their prices just yet.

I got this wierd protein p1108_kiefhaber_. My ibook in my sig has been folding almost 48 hours and its 25% on automatic performance, is it normal? Btw what type of protien is it tinker, gromas etc cuz it isnt listed in the current projects page. My powermac is folding p1109_kiefhaber_ its at 17%.
Ive been folding mine for over a week and its a 65%. Just give it time, it should be worth alot of points. I don't know much about tinker and gromas, so maybe another folder can explain. But i do know that a Tinker takes quite a while to fold in a G5.

One thing is for certain, the prices of the new TiBook are going to be just as high as the current. If you wait 6 months their prices will drop. I rarely buy when the new models come out on any Apple machine. Instead I wait 6 months for an improved model to come out, or at least a price drop before buying the second best model. The exception was the Flat Panel iMac G4 800 as it was such a good deal.

Thanks for the welcome, TyleRomeo! Actually, your thread was what originally made me consider the Formac. So what have you decided? Are you going to get one or wait longer?
Unfortunately, I don't think I can wait much longer. The hamsters powering my ancient 9600 are slowly dying one by one and it's killing my productivity. I'm thinking of getting a stop-gap system until next summer since eBay Apple resales hold their value so well. Does the Formac have HD support like the 23 or is it more like the 22?
