Personally, I'm waiting to buy an Ibook until they come out with ATI Radeon with 32MB onboard. They just released it with 16MB, but Jaguar (their new GUI, 3d accelerated) requires 32MB. Unfortunately, the onboard memory is not upgradeable. I have a G3 running OSX sitting on my desk here at work, and I absolutely love the thing. Plus, it runs one of the greatest network monitoring tools ever made, Intermapper (http://www.dartware.com), and it's only available for Macs. I've been looking at their new Xserve 1u servers too, and I might have a few of them sometime this year. > -----Original Message----- > From: steve ulrich [mailto:sulrich at botwerks.org] > Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 10:58 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Apple i Book ??? > > > > when last we saw our hero (Tuesday, May 28, 2002), > Shawn Fertch was madly tapping out: > > On Tue, 28 May 2002 20:50:00 -0500 > > Kevin Bullock <kbullock at ringworld.org> wrote: > > > > > And of course if you want to do upgrades, you can, using > commodity > > > parts.
