LG Ultrafine Deal Expires Tomorrow
I had a glimmer of hope that they extended that offer to align with a Mac line announcement sometime in March. Maybe at least an updated iMac with USB-C if not the Mac Pro announcement we've all been waiting for. It appears I hoped in vain. I guess now I pin my fortunes on WWDC...- thisisnotmyname

It's like we're waiting for...
It's like we're waiting for The Messiah or something. Seriously, why the heck is Apple taking so long to release a new freaking Mac Pro?? This situation is beyond ridiculous!

I'm going to make a new Mac server and want it to have raid. But the isn't a "server-version" of the Mac mini and I can't see any Mac mini config with raid. So I thought, why not a Mac Pro, it must have raid and the bonus that it has more CPU-power. But I can't seem to find any info, that Mac... -
