bobdea Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 apple is at it again http://www.apple.com/imac/ its cool but that thing must be hell to take apart it is nice that apple is pushing 64 bit that runs the old code native though when a PPC 970 laptop comes out I will just have to have one just to say I have a super spiffy laptop and say things like "is your laptop 64 bit" though in the real world I dont think I would really gain anything from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 FYI: Apple INC. can not legally export G4's and above from the states because the US government considers it a weapon. Now doesnt that boost the cool factor a few points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirror70 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 IIRC, that law was actually stricken from the books shortly after the first 600mhz G4s shipped. The law was old, obsolete, uncompetitive, and easily circumvented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
