So I re-read page 459 in the old Big Book.... Life on life's terms. I just really liked the Power PC 64 bit chip and all it promised. However, this is almost as bad as when Quaaludes were outlawed :eek: Probably just as well and yet one more thing to get over!

I wish I could play for everyone the slick and glowing promo movie installed on all "display" G5s in stores last year. Was not "the heart and soul" of the new G5 the IBM Power PC chip? 64 bit architecture, Altivek, etc, etc, etc,. Steve and the Cupertino gang have pulled off one the biggest...

:mad: What about all the glorious hype about the PowerPC g5 chip w/ the 64 bit architecture and Altivek etc, etc,? What a load! I should have just stuck with a $379 Dell (includes 17" LCD) and saved $3500 (G5 2.0 and 23"LCD)!!! This reminds of when I bought my first Mac in '95 ($4000...

I was wondering why a local Apple reseller was offering AppleCare for a G5 for $187. But what about a Cinema Display purchased later and seperately from the G5? An Apple Tech sort of suggested that I might be able to "work something" out with the reseller. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for the info- I was wondering why a local Apple independant store was selling AppleCare for $187 on a G5.
