Yeah, the desktop/laptop gap is back.
It was nice when a G3 Powerbook was the same speed (except for hard disk and video card) as a G3 desktop. Those days are long over. Those 7lb.PowerBooks were considered small and light compared to the competition. The 17" PowerBook weighs the same as my old Lombard G3 PB!
A dual-core G4 PowerBook would suit me fine. Faster video cards would be great. I wish there were some 100GB x 7200 rpm hard drives available.
what the heck did they hope to accomplish there in the middle of BFE??
Well, well, well... a Republican-controlled Congress is considering RAISING TAXES on everyone with an Internet connection or cell phone. Hmmm.
The sad reality is that Republican or Democrat...They all love taxes...They're all corporate puppets.
They're considering that tax because so many people are abandoning land-line phones. It makes sense that they would need to make up the revenue shortfall.
Why would they be doing that?
How ridiculous is that!
It's a new way of communicating, why would you be taxed on it?
Why?
It's not as if they invented it..., taxing communication, they might as well tax photographing and why not walking or talking...
They don't need to make up any kind of shortfall.
You can bet your bottom dollar that they make more in taxes from cellphone and internet service providers and users than they ever, ever made from land-lines...
Contact these pigs who want to take MORE of our money and make your feelings known. Especially Rangel; I don't need MY MONEY paying for his hair stylist.
I would still wait for Tiger's release.
Apple is sucky like that: they need to give free upgrades to people who bought hardware in the months leading to the release. Or, they can keep doing what they're doing and letting the smart ones continue to wait.
Besides, by the time Tiger's out, maybe there'll be a GPU upgrade (Radeon 9700 is still not the best ATI mobile chipset, C'mon Apple!), or a CPU speed bump or something, who knows.
ps:, Please, Apple, put in GPUs that don't suck last-gen donkey b@wlz!
Some of us won't mind spending the $100 or so when Tiger comes out.
