Wonder how many G5 based iMacs they'll sell. > And, sadly, your wife's video iPod would have worked just fine with > the USB 1.0 port, just a LOT slower... Except when she has a nearly 30gb iTunes music library. Got a coupla days? Really, how hard would it have been to have the new iPods support Firewire? The sad reality is that Apple udes to be a computer company that made iPods. Now they're an iPod company that also makes computers, and the (lack of) quality of their recent offerings bears this out (ask me how I know). I'm really going to miss her old iMac G4. Absolutely zero issues in the three + years we owned it. I've had two motherboards replaced in my sister's 1st generation Imac G5 in just over a year. > I'm thinking the rule is "never buy a new mac after Labor Day..." :-) Or, build your own x86 box, and run a hacked version of Panther or Tiger on it. That's what I'll do when the Applecare is up on my (also unreliable) DP G5. Alex -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
