Apple's new cavalcade of gravy

Apple has once again thrown some sweetness at the computing public. Top of the list is the new iPod with video capabilities, which I'm lusting after pretty damn hard. The 30 gigger in particular looks like the kind of gadget I could snuggle up with.

The new iMac is nice, and I like the built in iSight camera, but I think I'll wait until the Intel boxes come out before I upgrade my computer. And even then, I'll probably get a Powerbook, so it's sort of a moot point.

But the new remote and Front Row software is pretty sweet, and I'd consider picking up an Intel Mac mini at some point and using it as my main media box. But luckily, all that is at least a year away.

Your thoughts, fellow Mac fruits?

I for one would like to get my hands on the 60GB iPod. As for the new iMacs, well I'd get one of the new ones instead of waiting for a stinky intel based one.

For crissakes, the Intel ones are going to kick the ass of any of the current PowerPC models. What are you going to do when the switch happens, stay with your 2005 model forever?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, as long s the thing works and feels like a Mac, it doesn't matter what processor it uses.

Still waiting on a G5 update. I know the Intel witch is right around the corner but the current models are getting a little long in the tooth.

BTW did you see this? Intel Mac with Quad proc.

hey sure it will be running os x on it but I will still feel the evil oozing from inside. I think that if Apple is going to change chip sets again then they should have gone with AMD not Intel. Hyperthreading is garbage.

Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Intel might mean cheaper machines, and it'll certainly mean a more versatile rig, Plus FINALLY we'll have speedier Powerbooks.
