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

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?)

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.

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…
