So… My PowerBook died again… Last week RIP. This time it will not be resurrected. I find that I simply can not trust it to not do this again. I mean this will be the 3rd time in the last 6 or so months that it has catastrophically failed me. So… This week I am purchasing a Dual- Core 2.3GHz G5 tower, and a 30” display to go with it. That is right… I am moving to a desktop system for the first time in over 10 years. Yeah… I have had desktops before.. but for the last 10 years, a laptop of one sort or another has been my primary machine. Now it is time to change that. I can get a lot more computer for the money if I go desktop. And… I will pony up the $100 and buy a cheap HD for the PowerBook so that I can still have a mobile machine for the times that I do need one. But my primary machine will be the G5.
“G5!! Why???” you say… Intel Macs are here… and they are the future.
Simple… I need a machine that will run all of my software that I have right now… and it must do it well. Since Photoshop is my one of the primary apps that I use, and Adobe will not support the Intel Macs until they release CS3 later next year… well.. the answer is pretty simple. G5 for me.
Then… when I am ready to go down the Intel Road, the G5 will replace this trusty iMac G4 as the server in the house.
