Two questions: 1. Would I be better off getting a larger hard drive for video editing or should I go for two separate drives instead? I know Premiere on the PC always recommended two separate drives. One would be the scratch drive for editing. 2. If I do get the second drive, are they...

With the three choices they have provided, no wonder everyone wants a dual 2.0ghz. Why do they even have the 1.6ghz? At least with those specs. Why cripple it. Give it the same 400mhz memory. Give it 8GB of memory potential. Drop the price to around $1700. Does the 1.6 have a different...

I'm dying to know how good they are. I'm looking to get one early next year (provided my wife lets me). I'm sure she will. She's just about claimed ownership of my iBook.

Its open source and free.

Voice, you should dump all Microsoft products. Switch to Linux. Use free software. Put Open Office on your Linux boxes and Open Office on your Macs. Then you can share documents all you want. Why help Microsoft at all?

I hope the G5 is not too big to fit inside a desk enclosure. I think its butt ugly but I still want one. I think its the first Mac that isn't pleasing to the eye. It looks like machinery instead of art.

Its solved. I needed to unauthorize my purchased music for my laptop and then authorize it again. Something must have happened with the backup.

I've got a brand new 30gb iPod. I didn't have any problems transferring my purchased music before I reinstalled OS X the other day. I backed up my purchased music using the Backup program and restored the purchased music from CD. But now I can't transfer any purchased music to my iPod.

I was burning some CD's tonight and transferring them to my iPod and then I downloaded some music from Apple's Music Store. The music showed up in my library and Purchased Music list but I was unable to copy it to my iPod. Has anyone else run into this? I did a permissions repair but it...

Anim8r: No my sister wasn't using IE. I don't know whats up with that iMac. I've messed with it. It seems slow to me. And I use an iBook 700mhz, so I was expecting the iMac to run circles around it, but it doesn't. I installed Jaguar from scratch on my iBook, but Jaguar came preinstalled on the...

I think you guys are missing the point. You are power users. My sister is not. I talked my mom into getting an iMac. My sister was living with her up until a couple of weeks ago. So she was using my moms iMac. I tried to talk my sister into buying an iMac. After using my moms iMac for about 3...

If the G5 is putting out this much heat, I'm surprised. I thought it was supposed to be use less power than the G4 and put out less heat. If it IS putting out a lot of heat, then Apple is in trouble on the low end. They need to get it in the iMac. I don't care what Apple people say, a G4 just...

"The new G5's are priced higher than the G4's because they have new technologies in them." What the ...? Computers will always have newer technology in them. Apple seems to think its in the car business. Technology should get cheaper not more expensive. The dual 2ghz is priced right. The...

Everyone's assuming one thing. That Apple will continue to ship G4's from Motorola. I'm beginning to think that G4's are getting scarce. There are no more 1.42ghz Power Macs. Maybe Apple is ending their relationship with Motorola real soon. We might see G5's sooner than people think in the iMac.

I saw that the G4 1.25ghz Power Macs prices are reduced. The 1.0ghz is gone and so is the 1.42ghz. This leads me to believe that Apple is reducing their stock on the G4's. Are the G5's going to replace the G4's in the iMacs and PowerBooks? Or, will Apple replenish their stock on G4's and put...

I noticed that Photoshop Elements 2.0 was extremely slow on the iMac. Has anybody else seen a difference in speed from a pre-installed OS X and a manually installed copy? I was really looking for quite a bit of performance improvement in the iMac over my iBook. I guess we need the G5 in the iMac.

Yes, everyone has spoken. The G5's are priced well for their market. I guess what I'm looking for is a G5 in the iMac. Entry level machines in the PC world run circles around the iMacs in performance. So a low end G5 would be a perfect solution down the road. Maybe by MacWorld next January?

I talked my mom into getting an iMac a couple of months ago. My sister called me up and was complaining about how slow the computer was. I maxed out the memory in the iMac but it still seems unresponsive. It doesn't even feel any faster than my 700mhz G3 iBook. The only difference is I installed...

but, the entry level 1.6 needs to fall. The G4's are going away. Maybe when Apple has no more G4's left, the 1.6ghz G5 will fall to a more reasonable $1499 or so. I am impressed with the specs. These machines will rock.

Steve Jobs told Apple investors that he wanted to increase market share. This ain't gonna do it. In fact, fewer people will buy now. Apple got close to PC's a few years ago in price, but PC's dropped again. Apple can't continue to play this "superior" machine crap no matter how true it is...
