Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / July 2007New iMacs
OK, I'm coming over to the darkside and I'm having an Intel Mac. Imac. Top of the range. Only PPC to date in this house... Trouble is I want it now. I'm on my second Leffe and an old iMac might do. Apple Store UK is in my favourites, and I've bought things I don't want before when under the influence.... Please, somebody stop me...... Pros of getting an old iMac: 1. I can have it this week. 2. Tried and trusted. Cons: Tell me, pls, pls.... I'm on the refurbished page now..... > OK, I'm coming over to the darkside and I'm having an Intel Mac. Imac. Top > of the range.

I've seen the rumours, Aug 7th seems fave. Come on then guys, pissed-up Ebay purchases, I've got an SGI Octane 2 here - never even turned it on..... > I've got an SGI Octane 2 here - > never even turned it on..... That's a crime. I loved the idea of those machines, though I worked on them very little. I also knew a guy who was big into Irix and always praised it. Consequently I've stared at the ebay prices quite a lot, so far always just pulling back. Still, I'm on a kit purge these days. A few Cobalts I've got will be going in a month or so (ie. when I can get round to properly wiping them and installing Debian ready for sale). After that my only vintage kit will be the C64 and a couple of SNES consoles. I'm even thinking of losing one of the SNES boxes too (one is for NTSC and one for PAL, but as things turne out I didn't buy any US games after all).

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Cheers, > Ian I have an Indigo2, and three Octane non-2's so I know my Irix! Also I've had two O2's, both burned out - cheap rubbish compared to the I2's and Octanes. This Oct2 was 130 quid and I bought it - wont sync to my Sun monitor so I left it! Pathetic! I have one of the Octane 1's propping the dishwasher door shut - a little know fact is that Octanes are hewn from solid Uranium.... > Come on then guys, pissed-up Ebay purchases, I've got an SGI Octane 2 here - > never even turned it on..... This evening I bought a blueberry iBook, and a 250Gb USB2 external drive. I don't have any machines with USB2, so that's going to be one slow backup drive.

I love the current imacs and generally they drop the price pre new release and that has not happened. If the new keyboard is true I am very happy I bought a 20" at the end of June. :) I moved to mac over a year ago and I still love them, now to move my 500 PC network over :) david SignatureI'm trying a new usenet client for Mac, Nemo OS X.
