    but WAIT ! –
    shouldn’t the existing Apple fan boys be insulted ?-
    as NO ONE needs all those slots, no one needs all those ports, no one needs all that RAM, etc.
    You can do “EVERYTHING” with the current Mac’s – why would anyone need anything else ?

    Are you telling me that “they” were WRONG ?

    Yes – the new Mac Pro looks amazing, and coming from a background of very expensive Sony VTR’s – it really doesn’t matter what it costs, because a HP Z8 loaded with RAM, dual RTX-2080ti’s, HP Dreamcolor Z31X monitor, etc. costs a fortune as well.

    We have another PROFESSIONAL product from Apple now – who cares what people that don’t do professional hi end work think about this. I am happy it cost a lot of money.

    thats a sexy looking computer.. I probably will never need a puter with that much potential horsepower but I want one.

    Great to see apple listening. Not swinging for the fences and whiffing (the traschcan), and just giving us something that works in a tried and trusted package.

    [Oliver Peters] “BTW – speaking of the trash can Mac Pro, it appears to have been removed from the Apple website. I guess you can now only purchase refurbished units from their website going forward.

    That’s the best news.

    [Drew Lahat] “2. Expansion
    8 PCI slots! I don’t think any Mac ever had more than 6 expansion slots, and I also counted up to 12 Thunderbolt ports. That’s some scary expansion capability.”

    There are only 4 TB ports per Apple’s spec (2 back and 2 on top). The other USB-C ports are just USB 3.x ports and not TB.
    In theory, it can be expanded via PCIe but that would be dependent on Apple.

    Just for fun!

    A few cheesy jokes (many of them great) have shown up in many Facebook groups.

    MAGA – Make Apple Grate Again
    Several Tesla comments
    One photo had a kitchen scene loved the external heat sink
    A few cheese grater GIFs
    Of course there have been some degrating remarks ????

    Now where is the wine? Have plenty of cheese to go with it.

    Now that they’ve fixed the MacPro — can Apple also admit their newer MacBook is not an improvement over the 2014, 2015 models?

    Need more ports (does anyone make a USB Drive that nativly works with these ports?) , a keyboard writers can actually use rather than feel as though they are pounding on concrete….lose the solution in search of a problem touch bar…..enough space to cool the high powered processors…

    I haven’t bought a macbook pro in 4 years because the newer models don’t do the trick

    [Andy Field] “Need more ports (does anyone make a USB Drive that nativly works with these ports?)”
    Yes, many newer drives use USB-C. I just bought a Samsung 2TB T5 SSD. Comes with USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables. I also bought a CFast2.0 card reader which also including both cables.
