I'm in a banning mood, so if I beat NC to the punch, expect a vacation. -gnomexp

like a second hand car with an apple sticker on the windscrreen???

That's not Apple Hardware, smart-aleck . -NC

This almost counts: I am having the O Rokr's from Oakley shipped currently, so they should be here soon. They don't sound interesting, until I explain it. With an attachment it connects to your iPod, so you can play music through it. It also has bluetooth in it, so you can talk with it and have it be transmitted through your phone.

Let this stay, please, because I think it warrants it.

i finally got my mac today, after waiting almost 2 weeks for it, they were waiting for a shipment from the US and it only came on saturday, so now im here typing on my brand new eMac superdrive, i know it isnt a g5 but i love this little guy.

im not completely converting to mac, but it will be my main machine now, pc will be used for gaming only

I'm pretty much the same but I haven't yet bought a mac cuz i can't get the cash together, (considering that i've only been saving my allowance for about a month)

I own a 60 GB 5th gen iPod. That is all the support apple gets from me...

here's something i can't understand, if u can cram 24 hours of music in 2 gigs, and i've got 15 gigs of music that i haven't even listened to half of it, What the heck is the point in 60 gigs on an ipod?!?!? It's just been stupid after 10 gigs.

I just checked out how much music i've got on my pc, first thing u have to consider is that i have it on a huge bitrate, so the files are triple the size and i have about 199 hours!!! that's over a week of music!

I have several Apple-branded hardware. The first (although it's been long sold) was an iPod shuffle that I got for my birthday in 2005. After that, around November '05, I got an iPod. And about a year later in October 2006, I bought myself an iPod nano.

I did not own any Apple-branded computers until just recently this year. In February, I purchased an iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. And just about a week ago, I bought my first Apple notebook computer, a MacBook, also with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

iMac

Intel Core 2 Duo processor @ 2.0 GHz
1 GB memory
160 GB hard drive
8x SuperDrive
Mac OS X "Tiger"

MacBook

Intel Core 2 Duo processor @ 2.16 GHz
1 GB memory
120 GB hard drive
8x SuperDrive
Mac OS X "Tiger"

Barely two weeks ago i got my Mac Mini! Its the last PPC Mac Mini that was released by Apple with a "stealth upgrade". And its such a smooth machine, sometimes i even forget i have a cpu beside my monitor because its so dang quiet, not to mention that intuitiveness, simplicity, effects, and robustness that i have so emulated in the past.

The specs are:

Mac Mini PPC 1.5 GHz

512 RAM

80 GB

Combo Drive

64 MB Video

I would have gotten the Intel Mac Mini but i suddenly got short of moola and just opted to buy the PPC instead from a local reseller. And i must say its one of the most worth-it buys ive ever done so far. It runs smoothly and i enjoy doing creative stuff more using adobe ps in it. I intend to make the RAM upgrade to 1GB soon as i want to use the mini at its optimum.

But i just have to say that i thought having a Mac will diminish my regard for windows and it did not. On the contrary, it made me appreciate windows more. I still love my Fujitsu Windows Laptop (modded to look like Vista) and my XP Desktop. I aint gonna leave those machines in the dark as they have served and are still serving me pretty well.

Peace.

I agree with contrasutra, I mean we don't want to know about you getting a new Mac, I mean, good for you, I wish I could have a Mac, they are awesome, but don't show off telling us about it.

*sigh*

damn it! I want a macbook! AAAARGHHH!

why can't I have one? I hate PCs, but can't afford a Mac, they're really expensive

Macs have a higher up-front cost, but I think that they tend to last longer than a cheaper PC. The thing about Apple computers is they don't use any cheap parts, for example, even the entry level Mac mini uses a dual processor, something that budget PCs don't always have. Macs are more expensive because you are paying for both quality and solid build construction, something very valuable, especially with notebook computers.

I know they're really expensive... but I really want one, I want one especially because they're the fastest computers in the planet with the Intel Core Duo processor...

contrasutra's complaint was nearly three years ago. Since then, we've been trying to keep this thread clean, with posts only from those with actual hardware in their hands.

In other words, if I were Unbe or anyone stricter, I'd probably ban you .
