on old vs new G4s may have been discussed earlier and I missed it . . .<br>
<br>
Today I bought the last old model Dual 1GHz G4 available at the new Apple
Knox Street store in Dallas. I have 10 days to make a decision whether to
keep it.<br>
<br>
I've been flip-flopping between the Dual and the new, single processor 1GHz
machine as a BTO with a SuperDrive added. That would bring the cost to $1,699
for the new, single processor vs $1,999 for the old Dual. Then there is the
new Dual 1.25GHz at $1,999, with combo drive, or $2,199 with the SuperDrive.
I am really stretching my budget if I go the Dual route, but I do want to
get the best long-term (Ha, is there any such thing as a long-term computer?)
value for my money.<br>
<br>
One of my major considerations is I am planning to do some iMovies and want
to be able to burn DVDs. FYI, I am currently using a G4 400.<br>
<br>
While I'm asking, any opinions on .Mac? Saw the special promotion offer of
$69.95.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any comments.<br>
