yeah, I lost ten minutes of my life trying to work the different ones
out, then gave up...
The added expense of a macpro is quite substantial, are you sure a quad core
iMac wouldn't perform faster for less money?
are they quadcore? it doesn't say so out loud (so then the i3 is quad
core?) Unless you mean the 27-inch -- which isn't much shy of the entry
Mac Pro. Plus, I don't actually have a big enough desk for the 27";-)
Yes it is expensive but the idea is that it lasts nearly forever...and
allows me to reduce the outrageous clutter I have with external disks
etc. I would load all that stuff into the Mac Pro and not expect to
replace it for ten years, basically...I have a 22" monitor that would
be redundant with an iMac, blah blah. I like the idea of having
something I can slap an extra hard drive into every two years, or easily
upgrade them, add to the RAM up to the max over time, and so on.
I'll probably not get the mone ytogether for *anything* for quite some
months, whatever I decide...;-)
