This really sucks on Apple's part. I had finally decided to upgrade from my SE/30, and now I can't buy an iMac that will run any of my existing software. I might as well just go buy a Dell since I'll have to buy all new software anyway. Apple just doesn't get it!

Wow - you've been a computer that's 16 years old , and you expect Apple to continue to support the software that hasn't been compatable with any operating system since System 7.5? What, pray tell, are you using?

Or have you just forgotten to use the proper html tags for sarcasm?

I just saw some 20" iMac G5s at Costco this weekend. (In Fort Worth...YMMV.)

It is a super-version of "LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

And do not forget ROFLCOPTER!!1!

ROTFLMFAO must be the Ultra version then.

My local one is selling G5's for $1479.99

As explained inone of the Infinite Loop threads, it will be a few months before the channel is completely dry, so you may expect to see iMac G5s at your local Costco for quite some time to come.

So Technoguy is complaining that he can't buy a G5 iMac anymore

'...I had finally decided to upgrade from my SE/30, and now I can't buy an iMac that will run any of my existing software...'

If he was going to upgrade at all - I think he would have done it by now.

Don't feed the trolls, I just did it here.

You are 7 years behind on upgrading and you criticize Apple for not holding back on their upgrades so you can finally catch up? You have to be kidding me. If Apple waited for users like you they would have gone out of business years ago. You are the one who does not get it!

Yeah, you should.

From the sound of it, it sounds like YOU don't get it! It's called CHANGE!!

we'll see how long your new Dell lasts, 16 months or less it will be in the shop… you should be thanking Apple by purchasing another Mac, look at the money you saved by not buying every 2 to 3 years… like most people

And if not...impressive dude. Pathetic too!!! BUT, it's not true. And, if it is...by all means go and get your dell....FOOL, FOOL, FOOL....Muhahah, yes, get the dell dude, hahahahaha...

What would one be doing on an old SE anyway? Beside playing a boggy game of pong...by yourself... Well, with a mac present, ANY mac...is one ever, truely alone?

APPLE RULES THE KNOWN UNIVERSE

I've got an SE 30 on my desk at home. I turned it into a fish take about 5 years ago and it looks great, but its software wont work on my Gigabit Ethernet. I'll be damed if I will buy a Dell because my G4 won't run software from the middle ages. Only a troll, or a pin head would do that.

where have you been for the last 15 years?
