Apple gatecrashes Widows 7's party
For all the guys here who hate Microsoft and love Apple, here is the article: http://www.theage.com.au/digital-lif...ml?autostart=1
Not only is the new Apple better, but it is significantly less expensive than their older models. Please note that the prices quoted in this article are in Australian dollars and prices are in Oz. I am sure the prices in the US are even more attractive.
Makes me wonder what Apple will do with their older models, and how they intend to get rid of them. "Hey!! here is the older model which is test proven by satisfied customers for years, they are made from better materials than the new ones, they are more reliable, but hey!! you have to pay $400 more." I don't think so!!
So now, I await for replies from fousto, his many friends, and the rebuttals from Daniel.
P.S. I wonder if our Costco will have these new Apples!!
Waddaya say, eki??When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

Hmmmm......let me pay 1,700 bucks for a big glossy screen and magic mouse.
No thanks. I'm not a sucker.
I just looked up the specs of the new iMac 27" and started laughing.
Didn't know that choosing a quad core was a new option.
Also, just because I'm not a fan of Apple doesn't mean that I'm a friend of fousto.Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011

Apples Prices much lower in US than Oz
As I said above, the prices in the US are much lower especially when you take into consideration that AUD$1 = around 92 cents US.
For the Australians, check out these prices here: http://store.apple.com/us
We are being robbed in Australia.
By the way, my 6 years old Dell PC, although pronounced "dead" by DELL support and Cyberscrub AV, is still functioning perfectly, so its demise is very much exaggerated.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

I've owned Apple stock for several years. As of this week, I see a Mac of some type entering my home in the not so distant future. Thanks, Steve Jobs. I love ya, man!
If my money had been in MSFT, it would have been dead money for the past 5 years or so.
If I want something else to tweak, work on or take to a shop for repairs, I'll buy another old car. I just want my computer to work... EVERYTIME I turn it on. When this XP box dies, I'll buy the cheapest thing possible that runs a Winders OS, that I'll have to use for certain applications. But other than that, I'm going with a Mac next time!"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
