...how much longer should I wait? I'm looking for Robson/Flash technology in a Santa Rosa chipset.
Current setup (don't laugh):
PowerBook G3 (w/SCSI) 400MHz, 40GB HD, 320MB RAM, completely dead battery; OS 10.3.9 (yes, it runs - this came with 8.6 pre-installed) - this is the first Mac I bought in 1999 - still running and my primary computer. The reason I'm waiting to upgrade is that I got burned when I first bought this - 6 weeks later the machine with integrated FireWire came out, and I couldn't get a refund and couldn't sell it (eBay didn't really exist yet).
PowerMac G4 400 MHz (Sawtooth), OS 10.3.9, 10GB, 60GB, and 160GB internal hard drives (it's a real Frankenstein), 1024MB RAM (mismatched speeds), a third-party USB2.0 card that causes intermittent instability, ATA controller card to access full 160GB capacity of internal drive, external FW DVD-RAM+-R/RW....
Should I just wait until Leopard comes out pre-installed? I've waited this long, what's another six months?
Waiting for an operating system is stupid. Just get your new laptop once they are revised on tuesday.
