| 12:51.50 | ArchAngelNix | Is there something wrong with the mailing list? |
| 13:00.35 | wps | not that I am aware of |
| 13:00.56 | ArchAngelNix | I sent a message last night, and it never arrived. |
| 13:01.31 | ArchAngelNix | I checked the address and I sent it to the right one, and nothing has bounced back saying it wasn't received. |
| 13:01.58 | wps | I just sent a test |
| 13:02.00 | wps | we'll see |
| 13:15.51 | ArchAngelNix | k |
| 13:16.04 | wps | hmm... perhaps there is something wrong |
| 13:16.04 | wps | mine has posted either |
| 13:18.04 | ArchAngelNix | I figured something was wrong with 2 days before Tiger, and no activity on the list... |
| 13:38.02 | wps | i'll email andrew |
| 13:38.48 | ArchAngelNix | Thanks |

| 14:27.11 | drewbono | the 2.7? |
| 14:27.21 | wps | yessir |
| 14:27.26 | wps | configuring my order right now |
| 14:27.28 | drewbono | liquid cooled |
| 14:27.34 | wps | wait... |
| 14:27.35 | drewbono | which video card? |
| 14:27.36 | wps | they are? |
| 14:27.38 | drewbono | yup |
| 14:27.43 | wps | hmmm |
| 14:27.49 | wps | hadn't noticed that |
| 14:28.02 | drewbono | "The dual 2.7GHz model packs so much power into tight quarters that Apple designed a liquid cooling system for it, resulting in a cool tower that runs Photoshop nearly two times faster than a Pentium 4-based system." |
| 14:31.28 | wps | when they say "The dual 2.7GHz model packs so much power into tight quarters that", it sounds like they just designed something new |
| 14:31.38 | wps | is this a different liquid cooling then the one in the 2.5? |
| 14:32.31 | drewbono | Good question. |
| 14:32.32 | drewbono | Not sure. |
| 14:33.19 | wps | what is PCI-X? |
| 14:33.54 | wps | are those just the bays where you can add video and sounds cards and stuff? |
| 15:41.33 | *** join/#byumug guest_0827 (~BYUMUG@82-69-104-204.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk) |
| 16:03.10 | macnewbold | wps: pci-X is a faster, higher bandwidth version of PCI. it runs at gigabit speeds or better, if I remember right |
| 16:06.01 | wps | ah |
| 16:06.02 | wps | sweet |
| 16:55.34 | wps | drewbono, you around? |

| 18:23.26 | drewbono | wps: you around? |
| 18:23.37 | wps | yup |
| 18:23.45 | drewbono | Sorry I missed you earlier. |
| 18:23.46 | drewbono | Did you order? |
| 18:23.50 | wps | I did :) |
| 18:23.54 | drewbono | And... |
| 18:23.56 | drewbono | Let's see it. |
| 18:24.04 | drewbono | What'd you get? |
| 18:24.14 | wps | 4 GB of RAM!!! |
| 18:24.18 | wps | corsair |
| 18:24.20 | drewbono | WHAT?! |
| 18:24.23 | wps | oh baby, oh baby |
| 18:24.24 | drewbono | Not from Apple I hope. |
| 18:24.29 | wps | of course not |
| 18:24.31 | wps | newegg |
| 18:24.32 | drewbono | 4GB OF RAM?! |
| 18:24.36 | drewbono | SHUT UP!!! |
| 18:24.42 | drewbono | YOU SUCK!!!! |
| 18:24.43 | wps | it was only 500 bones |
| 18:24.47 | drewbono | :-) |
| 18:24.50 | drewbono | "only..." |
| 18:24.54 | wps | yeah yeah |
| 18:24.55 | wps | :) |
| 18:25.04 | wps | still, Apple wants $900 for 4 GB of ram |
| 18:25.17 | wps | Apple can take their RAM and "stick" it |
| 18:25.18 | wps | ha ha ha |
| 18:25.24 | wps | okay, here are the specs |
| 18:27.40 | wps | Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5, 4GB RAM, 250 GB HD, 16x dual-layer SuperDrive, ATI Radeon 9650, Bluetooth, Airport Extreme, 10.4 |
| 18:28.06 | wps | and of course, my dual 20.1" displays are sitting at home waiting for it's arrival |
| 18:28.55 | drewbono | So what was the damage? |
| 18:28.58 | wps | that should do me for a while |
| 18:29.14 | wps | $3035.56 to Apple, and $500 to NewEgg |
| 18:29.31 | drewbono | What kind of memory again? |
| 18:29.36 | wps | Corsair |
| 18:29.41 | wps | I consider them the best |
| 18:29.49 | wps | then, Crucial behind that |
| 18:29.56 | drewbono | cuz you can get a gig (2 512MB) of the Corsair value ram (what I got for my g5) for $86. |
| 18:30.43 | wps | $120 was the best I could find (on dealram.com) |
| 18:30.48 | wps | I wanted 1 GB sticks |
| 18:31.28 | drewbono | Nice. |
| 18:31.33 | drewbono | Man, I'm jealous. |
| 18:31.36 | drewbono | Congrats. |
| 18:31.39 | drewbono | That is one screaming machine. |
| 18:31.41 | wps | I can't believe I just bought that |
| 18:31.50 | drewbono | It'll check email so fast it'll make your head spin. |
| 18:31.51 | drewbono | :-) |
| 18:31.56 | wps | :) |
| 18:34.38 | wps | oh, there was a extra copy of 10.4 in that price too. I bought one for my Powerbook. |
| 18:34.56 | wps | err, Ivana's Powerbook :) |
| 18:35.12 | wps | that's the deal. I only get to buy this computer because she now gets my Powerbook. |
| 18:50.06 | macnewbold | hehe |
| 18:50.17 | macnewbold | gotta love the "deal" making process in marriage |
| 19:01.02 | wps | yeah |
| 19:49.14 | drewbono | wps: you're portableless? |
| 19:49.22 | wps | I will be :( |
| 19:49.28 | drewbono | Man, that's harsh. |
| 19:49.29 | drewbono | Brutal. |
| 19:49.43 | drewbono | You ordered the edu version, right? |
| 19:50.00 | wps | you mean, did I order at the academic price? |
| 19:50.20 | drewbono | yeah |
| 19:50.23 | wps | yeah |
| 19:50.32 | drewbono | Nice. |
| 19:50.38 | drewbono | Do they still guarantee Friday delivery? |
| 19:50.48 | wps | 3-5 business days |
| 19:50.57 | wps | I will still be able to use the laptop a lot though since it's not going far |
| 19:51.15 | wps | it will be her primary computer, but I will be able to grab it for things |
| 19:51.39 | drewbono | So are you content with the purchase? |
| 19:51.44 | wps | very |
| 19:51.50 | drewbono | Or if dual cores come out at the end of the summer will you be disappointed? |
| 19:51.58 | wps | nah, I'll still be good |
