Are Apple's machines really more expensive than they used to be?
#9
I think I paid 3k for my Quadra 650, sans monitor. 3k for the power mac G3 266, with monitor. 3k for Titanium PB G4.
I paid less for the he Santa Rosa because I made compromises, as it was not the top model.
Right before that one, I got the FireWire iBook for mobility reasons, and then realized that the amount of computing power I wanted was better realized with multiple machines, hence the compromise with the SR.
I had a DT tied up with audio I/O cards, SCSI or LVD, and synth cards, and the portables were running soft synths and FX.
I still think the same paradigm applies, so I find the new machines a bargain. They run circles around the old ones, and the software, while more intensive in requirements, is about the same.
