• Goodbye G5. Hello Mac Pro.

  Mon Aug 7, 2006
  • sstringer, I envy you. If I had any way in the world to justify getting a Mac Pro and a pair of 30-inch displays, I would. Unfortunately, these darn Macs stay useful for too long, so I'll have to be satisfied with my PowerBook G4 and 23-inch display for a while longer...
