well I finally got a new Mac, the 20" model. It is just fantastic. My apt even looks better now.
And, as I believe I have mentioned elsewhere, I am super proud (particularly as a forever Apple user...) of having skipped the whole G5 crap, sticking with my noisy, yet performing dual 1.25 for so long (and it still flys). I did buy an iMac G5 before, but that was for my mother !
Anyhow thanks to many of you whome I have "consulted" - having not been in the market for a few years - on a couple of issues.
One issue was memory. I purchased the iMac at the new NY apple store, I sent my wife to get it since it was quite simple, I told her: get the iMac 20" with 2gb of memory (for $300 I thought it was ok, just to get it done) and leave
. I added, not to get the additional ram if it was going to take more than 10minutes.
Oh well, I am not sure what on earth happened but the sales person at the store basically convinced my wife not to get the memory there (can you believe this) saying that it was going to be a lot more than $300.
Unfortunately I was not there so I am not sure what the story is, the bottom line however I know: I ordered 2gb at zipzoomfly (I sort of like that place, even though their service sux, except for shipping, which is fast!) for $186 (including shipping) hence saved $114 and apparently a lot more according to the Apple store dude.
Anyway what a change dudes from my PM g4.
Now when are we going to see some pro apps ? I guess when the new PM will be announced ...
