Yeah, I think you're right. I've had another look round and there don't appear to be any pictures of any 'actual' working machines.

Pay no attention to the G4s with G4 crossed out and G5 markered in behind the curtains.. :D

square is both a rhombus and a rectangle, with constraints of both and added contraint that all sides are equal in length

Almost. What you claim to be a rhombus is a parallelogram.

A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal, but not necessarily right angles.

A rectangle is a parallelogram with right angles, but not necessarily all sides equal.

A square is both a rhombus and a rectangle.

Working G5 sidetrack
 
Check out this assessment. If I can find the time this weekend I'm going to check it out myself.

As a once and still-current owner of a 7100, quite possibly the ugliest Mac chassis ever released, I have to say the G5 isn't bad, although it isn't going to win any industrial design awards.

And the aesthetics sure wouldn't dissuade me from owning one

;)

(I'm holding out for another year in hopes of a dual-processor G5 PowerBook though)

Looks Great, Less Filling or was that nicely sweet
 
RE: Looks Great, Less Filling or was that nicely sweet, er Cerial and Beer:)

I wish it were about 3 inches Taller so At least Four 3.5 Drives would have fit in side.

People spending 2 to 4k on rocking computer might want to Jam more then two drives on the inside.

given the one-eyed-terror-vulture-monster "logitech quickCam" perched stoically waiting for you to expire, me thinks the G5 is a shoe-in :D

hmm..
 
I think it looks like a metal suitcase with extra handles... like something you'd find in a banks' safe deposit room.

I voted.. What happened to the curves man? [bad]. The attraction to Mac, for me, is the adorable bubbly-ness of the G4. I think it's all that lucite-like wrapping.

Of course, this comes from someone who loves smiley faces, bell-bottoms, and the new VW Beetle Convertible.

Yeah, that's kind of what the G4 reminds me of.. the cute new Beetles. The G5 is too Tonka Toy-ish for me (if that makes any sense..?).

I agree with the wood idea mentioned earlier. That would be pretty spiffy.

My opinion: if i had the cash I would've ordered a dual 2gig already. So I'm with the opinion that said "4 more years", meaning in 4 years maybe I can afford one off ebay : )

In the meantime i'll continue to look for a used g4 for cheap, it's amazing how expensive these things still are.
