simply frustrated

[zoranb]

Ok so technology leaps fast, very fast but consumer wise many people are very frustrated by the fact that Apple during its transition phase (to intel) has dissapointed many customers with its careless upgrading. One of them surelly is the intel iMac upgrade that happened fast and offered a faster machine (core duo) not giving mutch time on the G5 cpu. Not that im in favour of older slower CPUs but u just dont sell slower stuff and then after a very short while make the upgrade with same price. I have friends that got the 2nd G5 iMac and not only the upcoming core duo iMac but also its price really pi@ed them off cause in the same price something mutch faster was announced. That really degraded their purchase of the 2nd generation of iMac.

you stop your bitching. I talked my dad in to getting a 20" iMac G5 2.0 Ghz iMac. back in october. right before they put there web cam in the iMac G5's.
The way I see it and my dad sees it, is this. That iMac he got may be slower next to the new Intels but so what. His iMac he can use right now. And don't have to set around to get software that will work with his Mac. Also his Mac will still be good for about 8 years. Before he has to get a new Mac.

It does seem odd to me that Apple released a major update to the iMac line just a month or so after the last major update. Especially since they had previously given no indication that the Intel switch would start quite so soon.

Bitchin? u better watch your mouth u Texan hillbilly All users/buyers whether they need a machine or not should get better treatment and information on what the company Apple will release so they dont get degraded machines especially at the same price. I think the iMacG5/intel iMac is one of the most characteristic case of bad treatment Apple has offered.

Hasnt anyone thats got the 2nd iMac G5 been frustrated about the intel iMac?

Thanx for the support pal! I hope there could be more guys supporting this so we can raise a voice up and direct it to Apple. Actually this weird upgrade thing due to Intel transition continues, see MBP 15" and the new release MBP 17"... Apple dissapoints me cause it seems that she has entered into the PC competition zone and is twiching badly...she shouldnt!

First off you might take a look at who looks like a Red neck here with the way you type.

2nd point is will taken. But here is what I see if Jobs had stayed on the time line, that he had made back a 05's WWDC. You would not see this being talking about at all. If you want to point fingers here you should look right back at Jobs not Apple for that short comeing. I would have to say the board members give the go ahead for the MacBook Pro. But I don't think that they gave the go ahead to the iMac. That says Jobs all over it. Not Apple.

Camgangrel21, when i want to point a finger im not intrested if its Jobs or anyone else, i see Apple, im not intrested in who within Apple is responsible, i care only in what the company provides. I hope i understood corectly what u stated!

[camgangrel21]

As for what you are saying, is that you don't want to find the person that had to put Apple in the place that it is today? I'm I reading what you have to say here right? That you would just run Apple in to the ground. As to putting the responsible on the person in this case Jobs. Not Apple as a whole. Right? I think that you are just a windows guy on here to make everone pissed at something/someone that we don't need to be.
Like I said befoe if Steve had kept to the timeline that was layed down a 2005s WWDC. If Jobs could have kept the desktop in the labs till June, we would not be talk about this. because Apple would have had time to work out the Bugs in the hardware and software. also a lot of software would have benn ported and tested and working right out the door. As far as i can tell your bitch here is with the bugs that are in the new Intel Macs. Will hate to tell you this that is what happens with the bleading edig not the cutting edig. As anyone that know about PC hardware this Bull happens about 2 to 3 times a year.
