MAYBE SOMEDAY I MIGHT buy one of those damned Macintels, but I don't
know that YET. Please don't tell me what I'll be doing in the future, OK?
<Having seen a Mac Mini for <500 Euro (the prices should be 1:1 in
Dollars, right?) I cannot really see the fuzz about it. You'll get a
small Mac with a better speed and a new and supported operating system.
You can continue to use whatever peripherials you may have, like the
monitor and the USB keyboard and mouse.>
According to the currency converter in my Quicksilver's Dashboard, 500
Euro = 706.778 USD, which is WAY OVER my budget for anything that isn't
essential, such as computers I don't need, such as Macintels.
<If you upgrade a Power Mac with RAM, maybe a processor upgrade too and
a bigger hard drive, you'll get close to 500 bucks too.>
I do not need a processor upgrade. My Power Macs (G4 1.5 GHz Mini, G4
867 Quicksilver and G3/800 iBook) are also already maxed on RAM. They
all make me happy exactly the way they are. I only need a couple of
LITTLE stuffs at the moment (two items I can get for $0-$30 depending on
what my boyfriend turns up), and once I get 'em I'll be done for YEARS
AND YEARS.
<You won't be able to run Classic Mac OS applications though. So you
will want to keep your Power Mac anyway.>
Geez! I KNOW what I need for my own computing, and that is PPC Macs
running Tiger and lower, which I HAVE and LOVE, thankyouverymuch! Now
will you please stop trolling about the goddamn future? Right now I
don't GIVE a donkey's ass about the freakin' future!
Listers in general -- I know, I'm kind of testy today, but I'm REALLY
sick and tired of this push push push from Bleeding Edge people! I
promise from now on I'll just ignore this Andreas person and all the
other Bleeding Edgers.
