I want an Intel Mac same specs as a mini but with the extra storage space and PCI slots that you get on a pro. £400 for the mini to £1600 for the mac pro is too big a jump for me. I love my imac but it’s too noisey to put in a recording studio.
Gregg,
Apple is an “out of the box” company, and that’s what we love about them. There is always something going on, something exciting around each corner. No Mac’s may not be for everyone. They do at times cost more but you are paying for what you get “Quality” I have used a Mac since 1984, I have used PC’s for that length of time for specific purposes. I have never owned a PC that I love or think is build to last.
When you buy a Mac, you buy into the ideals that Apple Computer represents. Out of the box thinking innovation (i.e. USB, Firewire to name a few) Apple Computer has been a trend setting company for years, ever since they gave the last CEO the BOOT (Sorry Gil but you made a mess of a great company).
Mac’s are never going to go for bargain basement prices, you’re not going to find a Mac for $150 bucks, you the same way your not going to find a Roll Royce going for zero down, and below bluebook.
When Apple Changes a product the old one disappears, they don’t sell it for pennies, they just release a new product. The upcoming iPhone will be awesome, and they will sell millions of them, why? Because Apple wants to make a product that we will all love.
Apples Computers demographics show a huge surge in Senior purchasers, why is that? Ease of use, the “fun factor” support and family atmosphere Mac users are always happy to help each other. Mac users have fun; they enjoy their computers and in many cases love them. I have a Mac Book Pro and it is by far the best computer that I have ever owned.
There will there always be a market for PC’s but… I am telling you switch to a Mac and you’ll never look back!
Happy Holidays!
As many of you know, I’m an avid (though not rabid) Apple supporter — at least when the situation merits it.
However, I’ve got a rant to go into…
I went to an Apple store today to pick up a couple items.
First I went to the online store to check pricing and availability. Then I checked with the local Apple store to see if the same things were on sale.
My mistake was not being specific enough.
I went to to store (fighting through parking and crowds [the Apple store itself was “wall to wall people” with a line of about 10-15 at the check out]). When I got to the store I specifically checked with the person at the door to see if the items I was after were on sale in the store.
Only to find out…
the items were significantly more expensive. For one item alone the starting price was significantly higher (about 25% higher), AND the discount was less (one dollar less). Thus if I had purchased what I wanted to in the store versus online it would have cost me a lot more.
When the person helping me told me how much the total purchases would cost it actually had another digit on it than I expected. (When someone says thousand and such rather than hundreds, I start to ask questions.) The person helping me then listed off the prices and discounts. I said that was different than online. He immediately went over to another person there and asked about it. Upon returning he told me about both the differences in base prices and discounts between online and the brick & morter stores.
I told the person helping me to just keep everything I had stacked up, and I walked out.
In general, in the three Apple stores I’ve frequented over the past couple years I have had sub par experiences — ranging from a PowerBook repair the “genius” claimed would take 20 minutes and after 8 or more “it will be just another 15-20 minutes” it was back in my hands up through this pricing stupidity. I keep hoping things will get better, but they haven’t.
End Rant

sorry, thoght I recognized some high quality similarities.
Happy Thanksgiving
Glad I’m not Neo…
I guess the sale is working
purchased a 30gb iPod, and a shuffle on line this afternoon,
figured I go back and check out software and such,
havent been able to get in the store for over an hour now
Apple store is down
Apple store is down!!
“Apple store is down!!”
yes it is. my apple care, airport extreme & macbook case have already shipped. and my custom macbook should ship in a few days.
thankfully, I ordered early this morning.
Well, I just bought one of the new shuffles for my boy. Free engraving and $5.00 extra for the special gift packaging from the Canadian Apple store. Shipping in 1 to 2 days. It’s all he wanted for Christmas. Now only 19,999 more iPods for Apple to sell this quarter.
MDN word: “Coming” as in “Santa Claus is coming to town.”
This is off topic, but the Apple stock I just saw is 91.63, dude.
