Ooooh! My new toys have arrived! This will be fun!
Just a gratuitous post to brag about what just arrived today. Behold...







A G5 with a SuperDrive, a 20" cinema display and Harman Kardon Soundsticks. Isn't it beautiful. Unfortunately, it has to stay at work but I can't wait to start editing movies on it.

:bounce:

4. Isn't it a thing of beauty?
It's like modern sculpture for your desk.

9. nope, for me it's perfect
and ROCK SOLID too. For all the shit talked about the G4 I've never used a machine with a more robust processor. Still, had I the money I'd be an early adopter. In fact, I bought this machine from a friend who ordered his Dual 2Gig G5 the day they were introduced at the WWDC last year.

I've had over 20 aps running at once, including a second operating system (OS9) photoshop 5, Flash 4, iMove, itunes, Safari, MS Word, Freedom Force, iChat, Mail, Mozilla, and Preview and haven't even noticed a slowdown in performance.

12. I don't have the money either
but my employer does. :-)

At home, I just have an iMac with the 15" panel display and superdrive.

15. Bah. Computers should be dull utilitarian grey--depressing on sight
Edited on Tue Mar-23-04 04:44 PM by jpgray
Harsh, boxy edges and massive size are also necessary for any true computer.
