I was present at Apple's WWDC yesterday and witnessed one of the historical moments in Apple's history, the introduction of their 64-bit platform. Am I impressed? The answer is complicated. I was happy to see Apple moving on and deliver. But I would have expected nothing less from a 4 billion tech company who had the need to catch up with the "other" platform, the 32-bit PC. You all heard by now what's new in yesterday's press releases and news coverings. But here is a wrap up of the first day of the conference and a commentary on what Apple
really announced yesterday, underneath its surrounding distortion field.
I agree with Eugenia Loli-Queru regarding the pricing of $1999 for the workstation, IMHO, if they priced their low end at around $1800 then they would really grab a market.
You can get it for less than $1800 if you order the low-end G5 without the super drive.
