Gee I use my G4 for serious stuff and a Quadra for play does that count as Mac Retro?

In order to be competitive, components would have to come from overseas as well. If this effort gathers steam, it will be in the spotlight of Apple's legal beagles where they have a source of cash from very deep pockets. OTOH, I would love to see Apple create a midrange desktop but I certainly will not hold my breath waiting. Regarding plastic retro, I detest nearly everything plastic!

Were I more technically inclined, I'd build mother boards for other machines that just incidentally fit in old Macs and could run OSX, even though I'd advertise them for Windows. Maybe someone in China will pick up the ball like they did with their Shanghai Special iPhone. Pity. It'd be nice if that money stayed here in the U.S. . --- On Tue, 9/29/09, Bruce Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: You'll be spending all that money on lawyers, dude....because Apple will sue your a** in a heartbeat. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
