Just a thought. I've been musing over buying anew G5. The thing is I think they are way overpriced and deliver too little for that price.

But is it worth waiting till the next revision, some time off I expect, or better to go with the G5 of today?

I just think there is a chance that it's just around the corner, you might just be fucking yourself up the ass by getting one now.

I would wait, see what they do with the low-end model's prices on the Rev. B.

Anyway, which model were you thinking of getting now?

Damn skippy they fucked me.  Also, make sure the sons of bitches sell you one that works.  Those mofo's took me for a ride.  I must say I loath apple and will have these feelings for a while.  They are lucky I am a designer and need this damn platform, or I may have gone crazy and went to the dark PC side.

Worse comes to worse, the new G5s will be out at WWDC. Unless you absolutely must have one now, wait. The new ones will surely be quite a significant upgrade over the current models.

Yes, they got me too on that Dual 1.8 GHz for the price of a Single 1.8 GHz processor deal.  And I bought mine just 14 days before the change!  All in all, I would still say I got plenty of bang for my buck, though.  I'll probably buy the fastest one when it comes out (hopefully soon!).  I just have to convince my wife that I NEED it.  Wink

Eh... Ghost, just trade the one you have in now before you buy it, and buy the rest of the faster G5.

Worst case you might be compless for a week or two but you'll sure have a nice new G5.
