This pretty much sums it up.

+1

computers will come and go man, car very important!, use ur desktop if you can once you start making the money, you can get the mac.

heres a solution...

move to europe

more gigs (less hip hop)--no worries about transport (u cant take the bus,train or subway)-- and you still get that laptop and the job (since u can do it over the net)

screw the car dictatorship that we live in.... i want to sell mine since its more of a pain in the ass. Sadly while im here i need it and have no choice.

unless u already have some money saved up, it'll take u 2.5 years to save $6000 for a car(assuming that u put away $200 a month).

r u sure u want to wait that long??

oh, and remember this $6000 excludes the 15% tax ($900) + miscellaneous fees (transfer of ownership, etc) which u also have to pay upfront. AND, all of this is under the assumption that u can afford to pay for insurance+gas+maintenance+(parking/speeding tickets ) every month.

so forget the car and unless u feel that the apple computer is an absolute necessity right now, take the extra $$ and make a weekend trip to Ibiza or something before the summer is over!!

There's no doubt about it, a car is a financial black hole. You will piss away more than you ever thought possible on it.

Nevertheless, the G4 will be obsolete in 2 years. The car will not.

I put a lot of myself into production as well, but I could live (comfortably) without producing - I could not live without my car. And in addition to that, I think it would take a long time to actually start making decent money from production/audio/etc., whereas a car instantly opens up hundreds of opportunities you didn't have originally.

Oh, and I can understand if you don't really want to get a shitbox, but you *can* get a used car for much less than $6000.

Come on..not quite 2 but not quite 7 either. The ppc chips in apple's now will still be supported well into the future, just better off waiting for the intelmac though, just to be safe.

The G5 iMac had less factory problems the first time around then the second. And the G5 power macs were just as shady as the 3 round of them.

I don't believe in the first gen rule thing anymore, because it either puts you behind the game when the next gen comes out, or you never stop waiting. The thing to know at this point in the game, it all comes down to software. It's all on the type of person you are really, so either way always works for me.

But in the case of changing platform, that's when I say, fuck that, I'm waiting. IF that's what they want to use for the next 10-15 years, I'm better off waiting for that until then.

I never said it wouldn't be supported in 2 years, but it will be obsolete. That *is* the established obsolescence rate in the IT world today.
