Well there are a lot of loyal Macheads thinking the same thing. but with so many new ones spending big bucks on the glamorous new models do you think Apple cares? A month or so ago some other revelations of the new Mac order were made. Their lack of care about low end users or long time users is classic hubris. It deserves an equitable consumer response. Nothing lasts forever. Despite all the " Old macs live for ever rah-rah " BS still seen here. A warm wet cloth on the eyes should clear out the illusions. The smiling friendly Mac Guy has become demented. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer [email protected] http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.youtube.com/fluxstringer http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com/in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://remnantsofthestorm.blogspot.com http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
