When you reach the limits..
From Apple Insider (doncha love ‘em) on the Apple quarterly conference call:
“Apple does not expect to again see quarterly PowerMac unit shipments in excess of 200,000, as a good majority of users are switching to the iMac G5.”
Yup, I can believe that. I share an office with two graphic designers who are presently using ageing (4yo) PowerMac G4s - the 400MHz models. They’re thinking it’s time for an upgrade. To PowerMacs? “Naah, an iMac G5 with a 20-inch screen would do fine for us.”
People are reaching the point where they don’t need that much more juice. They just want it to work.
