OH… MY… GOD…
It’s an absolutely wonderful day to be a Mac user! Apple has FINALLY come out with the new PowerMacs. They didn’t just bump speed and increase RAM. They made a quantum leap in technology. Remember the specs I showed earlier? Well they were all spot on! The new towers sport the new G5 64-bit PowerPC chip from IBM, running at 1.6GHz to a dual 2GHz monster. They have 1 GHz system buses, up to 8GB of DDR SDRAM, PCI-X expansion slots, FireWire 800, Bluetooth, etc. I want one BAD, but it would be MAJOR overkill for my line of work. Russ? Are you salivating yet?
Apple released Safari 1.0 today as well. New features include increased standards compatibility, synchronization of bookmarks using iSync, a new autotab feature for loading folders quicker and a few more minor improvements.
Apple also gave a sneak-preview of Mac OS X Panther. New features include:
• A revamped Finder more in line with iTunes and iPhoto.
• Expos
OMG, am I ever salivating big time! I can’t believe how much rendering time I will be saving when I finally get my hands on the “dual 2GHz monster”. The increased work load I will be able to carry, will easily pay for it in no time.
Panther looks awesome too. I am disappointed that I have to wait several months for it yet, but there isn’t anything I can do about it, and it was expected anyway.
Drool, drool, drool.
