any compliments with ur ibook/titanium g4 powerbook?


Recommended Posts

I finally got my titanium g4 powerbook a week ago and the thing is simply beautiful! like a work of art that belongs in the museum, ive never seen a laptop this beautiful and well designed before. Even the box and everything that it came in was beautiful too. I finally took my powerbook out for the first time and i was at starbucks on the net, and i got so many ppl looking left and right and even a couple of people asking me about it. I was impressed how much attention it draws.

I was just wondering if you guys had any similar reactions when you bought your apple notebook out in the public? Would love to hear your stories... :)

Although my mac was the new iMac the out of box experience was very cool. I remember it coming when I was talking to wickedkitten, The box was all nice and shiny, I opened the box and the first thing that you see is various pictures of the iMac. Then once you move that there's a little pouch for the mouse and speakers then finally the iMac.

Compared to my Sony VAIO laptop, which is supposed to compete with apple with style, it came in a brown cardboard box :right:

I felt like a kid at christmas when it arrived at the door. my first time mac experience has been fantastic and has made me start to save up for better. It's also made me want stuff like Digital camera's, iPods etc. Don't ask me why.

So, this time next year I'll have a powerbook or a kick ass tower ;)

I am planning to purchase an iBook and maybe do the same thing as you 212RikanMofo. I imaginged that I was on the Underground, in London, and when it was the launch date for Microsoft Windows XP, I brought a new laptop with it and the boot screen comes on and everyone just stares around me, "Hey, what operating system is that?", imaging :D.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
    • Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
    • Source and more 35 years old?! And if my maths is mathing, that means she was around 10 when The Ring came out?! Damn...scariest 10 year old I think I've ever seen.
