My TiBook G4:
$2499 (or was it $2599??)
400 MHz PowerPC G4 @ 100 MHz
128 MB SDRAM (I added 256 myself)
10 GB Drive
Radeon Rage with 8 MB video memory
NEW TiBook
$2,199.00
550MHz PowerPC G4 @ 100MHz
256MB SDRAM memory* (special promo)
20GB Ultra ATA drive
ATI Mobility Radeon w/16MB DDR video memory
... SO... for $400 less, and only a few months later, I could get 150 more megahertz (and that's a LOT when we're talkin' Apple, especially on a laptop), DOUBLE the memory for free, and a bigger hard drive (and trust me, 10 GB SUCKS.. it's JUST small enough to be TOO small... 20 GB is perfect for me)... and a better video card with double the video memory!!!!!
I know computers get better as the months go by, but this is ridiculous. Apple should have a buy back program..... then I could give my TiBook to Apple like, "used computer department" (which would probably be very successful), and then maybe pay $500 $600 to get the new G4. God damn it. I don't want to deal with eBay, either! Sigh.. I might sell my TiBook now, to get the new one. It's way better.....
(Too bad it will still play back flash movies like shit though... LOL)
