wait, wait, let me get a box of tissues.

Ok, now you can continue with your sad tale of woe and neglect.

i think i called this, though, that's so odd. i mean they needed to make them match the new G5, but i have mentioned before a lot that i didn't think they would bother upgrading it to USB2 or anything. it's funny how they change things and never mention it.

And they need to put a firewire port on them for the iSight. USB2 would be nice, but it isn't going to happen. They would have to get the video card manufacturers on board as well.


They're probably not going to update the displays until about October or November. They're probably making a tremendous profit margin off these old styled, old tech screens. And they know that a certain percentage of people are going to buy a new screen with their new G5, so why not get the higher profit margin. It's probably just another way they're going to cover the R&D on the G5.

After watching the G5 intro video.

Sure the close up shots have stripes, but the distant images of the screens look to match the G5 color.

Wouldnt it suck if instead of stripes we got the pin-holes like the front of the g5 case?
