Yes. YES. YES!!!
« on: September 25, 2003, 09:44:17 PM »
About 1 hour ago, I got the magic email from Apple saying my G5 shipped tonight. According to the Airborne site, it should be at my house by noon tomorrow (Apple bumped the shipping method to priority overnite for free). I'll be heading home after class tomorrow, so I sure hope it's sitting there, ready for me. Hopefully, my next post here is from a Dual 2GHz G5!

Congratulations, Mike! smile.gif

I called my reseller yesterday and was told that mine probably/hopefully ships next week. And he told me that I was the first on the list. smile.gif

That is indeed great news Mike. Fine tools in the hands of a craftsman-only art can result.

In addition to all the other suggestions, how 'bout some real-world speed tests? Please! notworthy.gif

"There's nothing wrong with a Dual 1 GB G4... nothing wrong with a Dual 1 GB G4". wink.gif

I don't crave a G5 yet.

Going to add 512 MB RAM soon. Add a CDRW to the SuperDrive sometime also.

Maybe in a year or two get a better Video Card.

I'll just continue to live with this "old" mac for a while. wink.gif
