Well, that's one way to waste $5000 of your parents' cash.
just to keep things honest, he didn't specifiy what dual configuration he had, probably the cheaper of the two, which is only $2499. the top 'o the line dual 2GHz is still only $2999, a far cry from $5000.
don't mean to flame, but quotes like that just perpetuate the stereotype that macs are sooooooo expensive. just to compare, i just priced dells lowest price dual processor workstation at $2410 comparably equipped. not so much cheaper for something not nearly as nice
Hehe; my bad. Might wanna check on that system, though; I just looked at it doesn't include a display...he didn't say what kind he got, but that ups it another $699-$1999, so I'm not that far off
Althought I'll admit they have (especially iBooks) been dropping in price. |

I heard the G5 when fully loaded can fly to mars and still run a full photoshop CS cache.
I, on occassion, sneak over to the G4 dulie.
what a FAR CRY from what I am used to.
Edit: Did I read that right? He got a G5 but wanted a Dell?
Ahhhh - life as a civilian. |

IF THAT MORON WANTED A PC HE
should have sold the mac and got one!
What he did was a total waste of good gear!
I'm not a mac rat but this was soooo totally stoooopid
Macs have thier place and are better for some things and
wintells for others.
A mix of windoze n tux, along with mac is a geeks dreamland,
Few reach such lofty heights.
I'm was there once but that was before and I will be there again
when I deside just how I wanna do it.
BTW O2 what kind of mac do you use? |

Quote:I got a free G5 shell from a buddy of mine and pulled a prank on a Mac loving friend. He got so upset. I wrote up a little story, my imagination and warped sense of humor kicked in. I sent it to OC.com just to see the reaction. I honestly didn't think it was going to be posted. I cannot believe how fast or how far it has spread on the internet. There are an amazing number of people who are emotionally attached to inanimate objects such as computers. Mac fans seem to be much worse that I ever expected. The G5 is amazing, I would never dream of really doing that 
Read it again, he didn't kill a brand new box. |

I believe that role is played by a progress bar somewhere at the bottom of the browser window. |
