Re: New iMacs ?

[Daniel Kerr]

Yes, actually, I looked earlier after my post, and they’re not there anymore.
Perhaps I was just lucky enough to order some via a wholesaler to keep some. :) 
I think I’ll ensure to save one,…hehe :)
Though it’s not listed as EOL (End of Life)…so who would know at the moment.
Sorry about that. If you do need one (and are looking at a new iMac), then let 
me know as I can source them as well. :)

Kind regards
Daniel

Thanks Daniel and Neil.
However I did check under “accessories” on the Apple website and they are no 
longer listed.
So it would seem cannot be bought even on their own.

Re: New iMacs ?

[Neil Houghton]

Well

Thinking laterally.


The new wireless keyboards are charged via the lightning port (rather than
like my old one with removable rechargeable batteries)  and, unlike the
mouse, it can still be used whilst charging...

So if you leave the keyboard plugged in haven¹t you got a wired keyboard
with battery back-up ??!!



Just a thought  ;o)

Re: New iMacs ?

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Stephen

You can still buy them separately. I just ordered some more to keep for clients.
(and I swap them around if they require them separately). They actually came 
down in price to $69 (from $75).
It’s just not as a “build to order” option on the site. 
But there are “ways around it” :))

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: New iMacs closer

[Ronda Brown]

I had one of the new 27-inch iMacs CTO delivered last Thursday 3 Jan. 2013.
I am doing the Transfer and Setup from his old iMac running Snow Leopard to his 
beautiful new 27-inch  iMac Mountain Lion either later today or tomorrow 
morning.

I don't want any thunderstorms to interrupt the Transfer and Setup!

Re: New iMacs and Macmini

[gary dorn]

Hi all,

Apple introduced some fantastic product updates overnight, including 
updated 17" and 20" iMacs and an all new 24" iMac.


New iMacs feature Intel Core 2 Duo - 64bit, 65 nanometer dual core 
processors with 128-bit SSE3 vector engine.


The Macmini was also updated - 2 configurations, the entry now a 
Core Duo 1.66Ghz processor, the top model a 1.83Ghz Core Duo 
processor.


The 24" iMac looks great!

and further to that,
Apple are now offering refurb 24 " iMac 2.8 for less than $2000

Re: New iMacs

[Peter Hinchliffe]

I was pretty ambivalent on the Mighty Mouse until I bought my Intel  
iMac, which came with one. Until then, I had only really used them  
sporadically on clients' machines, and formed the impression that they  
worked far better in the right hand than the left.


Since I've been using a Mighty Mouse pretty much full time since the  
iMac, I've discovered it's small idiosyncrasies and learnt how to  
defeat them. I like my little Bluetooth Logitech mouse I use with my  
Macbook Pro, but I now find its up-and-down scrolling a little  
limiting (I know, I can use the Control key for sideways scrolling,  
but it's not as convenient); but I think the clincher is the  
completely smooth action and pin-point accuracy of the scrolling  
wheel, which is not matched by any other mouse I've used. I'm now a  
big fan.

Love/hate for me.
They track beautifully, the small size of the ball gives superb range
and control of speed.
However, they do cost and they die young.
I happily use them at work, nice clean environment, but they cant cut
it here with hairy dogs around and grubby gardener types clutching at
them, fragile little things they are, delicate. ;-)

Cheers
Paul

Re: New iMacs

[Dark1]

I've always been a mac user but was never really drawn to the mighty  
mouse since I've been very content with my logitech one.  I did like  
the way the old 1 button mouse fit into the hand.  It was very  
comfortable but simply didn't have the functionality.


My mouse only scrolls up and down but you can hold down the shift key  
while using the scroll wheel to go left and right.


Ruben

Coming from a PC background I really don't understand the  
fascination that
Mac people have with the mighty mouse. I must admit that I had never  
used

one, but I have seen them and in my opinion they are a very basic and
expensive mouse.

With companies like Logitech who specialize in mice and the fact  
that Mac's
can use any USB mouse, why would you go down the path of the mighty  
mouse in

the first place?

Well the new iMacs have been announced as predicted.  Plus the price
has dropped on the basic machine from A$1698 to $A1599.   Too bad
they don't appear to have designed a better Mighty Mouse.

Re: New iMacs

[James Devenish]

Hi Adam,

The Mighty Mouse offers a 360° scroll ball (not just an up/down
wheel), which is why I like it. I agree that it could have more
buttons and should not chew through the batteries like it does. I use
rechargables for my wireless Mighty Mice and although they need to be
charged often, I am in the habit. Wireless Mighty Mouse seems to have
pretty good lifespan with lithium batteries, which I keep on hand for
when I am mobile without a recharger. But still not nearly on par with
any other brand, I take it.

The thing is, I've never had a great experience using other people's
mice, and not even been impressed by the ergonomic shaping, etc., thus
I have never overcome the intertia of using the Mighty Mouse. I think
the Apple one suits my hands (and I tend to use mice left-handed,
too). Although a lot of people have complained that the scroll ball
breaks down and cannot be repaired, I use mouse mats and keep my
scroll ball clean by spraying with isopropanol periodically, so I
don't have the problem that other people seem to have.

Re: New iMacs?

[Greg Pennefather]

The newer G3 chips have incorporated the L2 cache on to the chip itself - so
it runs at the same clock speed as the chip. The older L2 cache was
external to the chip and usually (on the lower end machines) only ran at
half the clock speed. So, reportedly, the new G3s with 256k on-chip L2
cache are faster (at the same clock rate) than the older G3s with 512k
external L2 cache.

Cheers

Greg

Hi Cal!

The reason that the 600Mhz has a smaller cache size is because the chip
architecture is improved. So the 600Mhz cache, even though it is 256K, runs
at 600Mhz. The base 500Mhz model has the older design, so it will run at
double the bus speed of the logic board. In this case, the cache speed is
200Mhz.

Therefore the 600Mhz machine is more efficient at handling data as it can
push the info through at a faster speed, rather than holding more in the
cache. (Maybe the tecchies in the group have a better explanation).

Also note that the 500Mhz CDRW model also has 256K cache. Only the base
model has the 512K cache!

Kindest regards

Rod!
