I'm still using a G4 Mac
Last year I sold my Macbook Pro, in anticipation of new models. The new models came... I still haven't replaced my old MBP. Why? Well I wanted the new Macbook, only, it doesn't come with firewire, I need firewire for my Canon HV30 video camera. FAIL Apple. So I was looking at a new Macbook Pro. That got me thinking, why not go for the 17" MBP, the new unibody boasts excellent battery life, and it also has the FullHD resolution display (as per the previous model). The only problem is, it's a $6,000 machine here in Australia. Can I justify the expense? yes.... when I'm more cashed up. In the meantime, can you believe I've been using an old G4 PPC Mac Mini? I'm talking 1.42Ghz, 1GB ram, 80GB hdd. It's so old! but you know what, I've got leopard on it and it's working fine. Well, fine for E-mail, web, and some basic tasks anyway! It's amazing how these old machines can still be put to use, especially if it's for basic tasks. I sure do miss the power to be able to edit and encode HD video's! I'll probably be buying a new Macbook Pro in a week or so, if things go as planned.
