17" Screen

768MB of RAM

OS X 10.4.2

SuperDrive x2

oh, ill be looking forward to get the PowerMac Quad that will surely be a Big Leap!!!!! :)

New to the mac world. I couldn't resist the deals my student store had on the outgoing Rev C dual 2.0 G5s, so I bought one yesterday morning. But I'm so busy with midterms and work that I haven't had the chance to hook it up yet :(. But I am very excited about being able to play around with it soon. Oh and carrying that box over half a mile back to my apartment was torture (I thought that I was gonna pass out) :p.

Received my new Mac Mini this afternoon.. I was lucky to get a newer model (1.25GHz bumped to 1.33).

Just a stock base model, but it's doing me just fine. I'll upgrade to 1GB of memory eventually..

What a freaking beautiful machine. Out-does my iMac G3 that's now sold.

I am a new mac owner as of this past Friday. I bought a new Apple PowerBook 15". I love the battery life which is about 2h30m around longer then my other laptop and smaller which is much easier for me to carry around because of my other laptop being a 17" (I love it though and wanted one that big when I got it 2 years ago). Specs: 1.67Ghz/512MB/80GB/SuperDrive. I bought the Apple Wireless Mouse with it which is so nice and no hassle at setting up.

would someone mind taking a screen shot of Neowin on a mac, just so i can get a sence of what my new mac will be like.

Here ya go: (click to enlarge)

    • I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
