Apple This holiday season I was given some Christmas money, and I wanted to purchase a DVD burner for my G4 Apple Macintosh computer. When I purchased my computer, I was wise in buying a tower since they are upgradeable, right? WRONG!

"I was thinking of buying a Mac, but after reading this and its comments, I must reconsider. Perhaps I should wait until there's an OSX x86."

Well, in my experience Apple has good products if you avoid the stinker in their line which is th eMacs. eMacs are a big exception to Apple quality line up, so much that they were featured in the TOP TEN WORST Product of 2004:

AS for OsX coming out for x86. it would be nice, although Apple could flood the market making PPC mainstream and thus not needing to go the x86 route.

But don't wait until OsX comes out for x86, rather wait for it to be truly 64bit, as for now the G5, which are excellent machines, are overpriced-under-utilized because is a 64bit CPU with a 32bit OsX.

Anyway, I think for the most part Apple products, although some what over priced, are nonetheless high quality products.
