Software is the real headache. I'm no guru like the rest of you, but I not gonna buy a new PPC mac when new software for Intel Macs will be popping up. Being behind in hardware is livable, but being behind software is a bigger mess.
That's what universal binaries (I guess 'fat binaries' didn't sound too good) are all about.
So i ask myself, what's the next intelligent purchase?
I've already seen one guy selling his G5 because of the announcement. Just about any used AGP G4 is going to be a huge step up from your S900, and used PPC Mac prices are probably going to drop, recover for a while when the world doesn't end and Apple ships some new product (they have to, they can't make it through 2006 and 2007 without a refresh on *something*), and then drop again when the x86 Macs are actually on the horizon. So pick your time and snap up a dual G4 Powermac when the prices look good.
and don't you think that this intel switch will bring a huge amount of revenue for apple and mac software folks? i mean, no matter what you have, G3, G4, G5, clone, etc. you HAVE to make the switch.
I'm not planning on buying another Mac for a few years, unless I win the lottery or the new Powerbook's actually a Thinkpad. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
