    [Richard Herd] “I am reading you say that Apple does not care about $152M in GR.”

    What if it cost $150.9M to make/distribute them?

    [Jeremy Garchow] “Or why it can’t support… “

    OR…why it can’t do what HP, ProMAX, Dell, etc do today, in the real world. It’s actually a pretty fixed target that I think everyone here would be ecstatic if Apple came even vaguely near. Don’t need a ringer when a leaner will do.

    (What? It’s after Memorial Day. You people don’t have your horseshoes out?)

    Is Justin Long famous?

    You mean build a MacPro just like it is, maybe add a thunderbolt port and the new sizzle cores?

    [Tim Wilson] “Is Justin Long famous?”

    Not Sam “Hot-spacho” Jackson, Zooey Deschanel, or John Malkovich famous.

    Look at this thread and tell me that one just like it is with a speedbump and hole in the chassis is a leaner. It’s more like throwing a bone than a horseshoe.

    Ah, that’s for iDevices. Apple’s not abandoning those.

    I guess that’s the true sign that Apple is abandoning the Mac Pro. Their last spokesperson for Mac was a fictitious character.

    [Tim Wilson] “Ah, that’s for iDevices. Apple’s not abandoning those.”

    But Rich is saying Apple needs the MacPro for brand recognition, and asked what else do they have besides Apple – iDevice

    I said, famous celebrities selling Siri.

    Did Apple have a “I’m a Mac” MacPro commerical?

    I thought those were laptops and imacs.

    Hi
    I can’t find the quote, but I remember a report sometime in 2006/7/8-ish that Steve Jobs had decided that G5 supercomputer-style ads (and three-GHz-in-a-year’s-time keynote pronouncements) were no longer relevant.

    Basically he’d said that the Mac fanbase were making such a good ongoing marketing pitch that Apple could in future just sit back and let it rip…

    Same as is happening now 😉

    That initial fans-do-the-work situation lasted until the 2008 dropping of the Firewire port on the 13″ unibody MacBook – Petition #1 (18600+ signatures) maybe helped to get it reinstated…
