Yay another tech seminar. Unfortunately we are going to have to leave early and are going to miss some of the topics I'm interested in.
Mac 101 out on the Apple website for computer newbies. Switch 101 for those who have switched from Windows.
Production Suite is now called Final Cut Studio. It's optimized for G5 hardware. (Now there's a shock.)
Datamation has created a new Mac Mini Security Device to lock it down to a desk.
iPod - no new iPods, but there are considerable price drops. There are third party recording devices to attach to the iPods, but they aren't compatible with the iPod mini.
eMac - Faster performance, more RAM (256MB or 512 std), larger harder drive (up to 160GB), better SuperDrive, new ATI Radeon 9600 graphics processor (64MB of dedicated DDR memory, processing of over 1 billion pixels per second). Education prices: $649 - $899.
iMac G5 - 2GHz G5 processor, Airport Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0 std, Gigabit Ethernet, More memory 512MB...can't type fast enough.
Power Mac G5 - Three updated dual processor models (up to two 2.7GHz G5 processors), fster graphics, up to 800gb of internal storage, 16x SuperDrive with double layer support. "The professional system of choice." Great for video and sound, special effects. Great for science and tech, especially genomics. Yay data crunching! :) Over 80% faster than the dual Xeon with Bioinformatics Benchmark System. $1799-$2699, significant price drop.
