The G3 was the first tower that showed me someone understood how much blood and skin I'd lost opening up its predecessors to perform upgrades and add-ons. Great design that led to even better design.
Design isn't just how something looks. It's how something works.
@elliot4009 CRT's actually produce pretty damn good images and have far FAR better viewing angles and colour accuracy than LCD displays, unless you spend a pretty penny on a pro ISP panel display. They're big and bulky of course, but they're still better in many respects than many cheaper LCD displays.
Man, you are stating the facts from 5 years ago. Today's LCD and LED monitors are way better than any CRT shit from the past. 5 years ago CRT was better than LCD, but sure as hell not today.
@Coilaman Most LCDs suck. You only get good stuff if you pay for it. I do design work, so I've looked at plenty of monitors over the years and nothing comes close to the quality and colour accuracy of a CRT unless you pay a fairly big chunk of change for them. For most people's every day use they don't care or notice, but trust me, CRT's still outperform most cheaper LCD panels in terms of image quality, colour accuracy and viewing angles. You need a good IPS panel to compete properly, they cost
In case I didn't make it clear enough with my last comment, I KNOW. Why do you keep telling me? All I said was that I missed my iMac G3. And its Xeons in servers, not Core i7's.
Much better prices than on today's Mac Pro. If you want a LOW end Mac Pro you're spending more than 2k and a model with the highest performance processor will take the price tag up to almost $6000. Thats not even adding any RAM, video cards, or drives.
Why do people applause that much @ 3:35 ? The Power Mac G3 wasnt the first mac featuring the easy to open door the beige unit it replaced had that too.
It wasn't hinged though. The older 8600,9600 and G3 had a door that popped off the side and you still had to unplug the computer, lay it on its side, and fold out the drives and power supply. The B&W was MUCH easier to access than the older systems.
It is a shame about the caugh disturbing the presentation, I just got a B&G G3 someone tossed out, not nearly as clean inside!! The drive cables are buried under the metal plates, and very hard to access, in fact
terrible, camera guy coughing/hacking/toking/whatever is annoying and disgusting. the case design was definitely revolutionary. maybe a decent video if you mute it, freaking disgusting.
Lol, thats Steve Jobs coughing. Thats what happens when you smoke a lot of weed for most your life. Yes, Jobs was a pothead growing up. He also did a lot of LSD.
yea the sync is off so it doesn't seem like its him, but it is him. this is probably the worst coughing hes done during a keynote, but if you watch all his keynotes, he coughs in most of them just not as much as this keynote.
I saw a comment about the Podcasts, where you hear the same. I think it was in effect, Rude of him to not try and clear his throat and maintain some structure before clearing it again, it's just very bothersome, even if you can sympathize. I got a G3 only about a week and half ago, without the mouse and keyboard however, it's still working but needs some dust removal internally
ahh so not all is lost i guess, should be interesting to use, i wonder when they will start making bigger than a TB hard drive too, i mean data is getting so big with all the HD encoding, they either need to develop better compression software or making hardware store and transfer more, i have a firewire 400 external 250 and i get so annoyed with how slow it is to transfer some hd films
ahh no worries man, just saw no reason for it lol. yeah 3200 sounds amazing, so do you think a G4 with the firewire 400 will be able to use faster speeds as well? i dont understand how that would work, is it just a software upgrade or more power to the ports, it would be pretty interesting to talk to the developers dont you think?
what is with the aggression! i'm stating that i'm unhappy there's not a firewire port on the new macbook! i didn't know there are plans for a new firewire! 3.2gbs at 97% performance sounds good, i wonder if apple will put it on there macbooks when it comes out. is 3200 going to be backwards compatible?
whining? wow, someone's a hot head! do you really think i was being serious? having an unhappy face because a connectivity port on a computer isnt there in the latest model? haha! im not that pathetic! im sure there will be usb3 soon to completely replace firewire 400 and 800.

Woooo, up to a GB of memory? Their PowerMac 7500 from 95 did that too.
Sure, back then, density only allowed 512MB, but it expanded to a GB before this G3 came out.

I think the initial versions shipped out with a max of 1GB memory.
If my memory serves me correctly, the powermac G3 maxed out at 1.5 GB (3x512MB)
