I just ordered a MAC Pro! - 07-11-2007, 07:37 PM


My PC died Saturday!
During my processing of my Great Race Pictures!
One of the two drives in my PC's, Raid-0, C-drive failed.
(I Lost nothing but the work I had done processing the jpgs. The Raw's were on another drive!)

So rather than fix up this 5 year old PC...
I'm going Mac!!!
Bye Bye Bill Gates!

You will never look back either. :D

Oh, how I envy you. My old Quicksilver(800Mhz, 1GB Ram) Mac needs to be replaced but still runs Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Safari, and many other programs all at once without any problems.

Congrats on the new computer!

Congratulations Paul! You'll love it!

Adam, I've got a dual-1GHz Quicksilver with 1.5GB RAM sitting in the closet, if you feel the need to upgrade yours :-)

I have been with Apple since back in the Apple II days and would not give up my Mac for any PC. Congratulations on the purchase.

Thanks All. I'm sure I will like it. Especially since I will still be able to run my High Dollar Windoze programs on it until I can convert them to Mac, assuming those guys will let me switch platforms.

MacPro, man, am I jealous! I was drooling over one this past weekend. It comes with 3 extra Hard Drive Bays so be sure to fill them with some Terabyte Hard Drives!!!

Welcome to heaven!

Load that puppy up with Ram from Memory2go.com and pop in a couple more 500GB drives from Fry's or NewEgg and you've got a screamer. I totally dig my Mac Pro!
