Hey, this website is a nice breath of freshair. I'm going to kind of hit on a topic i did in another post. I'm currently in the market for a new computer and i'm on a budget (I'm in school). So far I've looked at computers I think i will like from vedors like Nutrend and Ibuypower.com, but they all want to shove M$ XP down my throat. Can you call these people and ask them form a Linux based program instead? Hitting on the Mac angle, I'm frustrated by the fact that Mac only offers a budget computer in the iMac form. I just can't go for that darn 15" screen. If i step up to a PowerMac 733 and buy even a cheap monitor, i'm looking at a wallet-breaker. Why, Mac, must you do this to me? Are there any plans for Mac to bring in a budget system that will do the cd burning and stuff AND have a bigger monitor! The 15" is going Dinosaur. Why is Mac sticking to the current iMac. I am interested in buying a Mac and maybe i'll end up shelling out the moolah for a Power Mac, but i might have to eat Ramen for the nect six months. Shouldn't Mac cater to a bigger, more varied crowd?

Hi . . . I just answered you in your other post. As I said there, there's a strong chance (according to the rumors, anyway) that a new LCD iMac, with faster processor, more memory, etc. is coming out in January. Or, if you can do a laptop, the iBooks are very price-competitive for the feature set they offer.

I own an iMac and it aint to bad as for the rumers about an lcd iMac whell i realy realy wouldn't mind one of those.
U ppl know anything about the G5 processor?
And who rated the webmaster so lowly???
THIS IS THE BEST SITE I EVER SAW!!
Anyway Mac's arent too bad for price, the power mac's are .. well .. yes very expensive
about $4000 for the lowest quality one. :(

get an emac... it has a 17" screen. and if you want more there is a hack to allow a second monitor. Its only a software hack, no openeing up the machine.

That thread is almost two years old. It's been revived by Psyjax because it's the oldest thread in the Mac forums.

AS good a reason as any ;)

That would mean then the emac wouldn't of been available to him when he wanted to make a purchase?
-
but neither would the answer telling him to get one.
so if he's still looking and he sees this then he's sorted.

Revived again due to reasons of nostalgia.

Like bumping old threads much?
