coo...........I hope they don't make it that fugly brushed metal thing tho, cuz I've used it in iTunes and Safari 'n' stuff and it's just tells me that they've used 5 year old techniques....dunno.........didn't think it looked very good then, and doesn't look very good now =\

greenfruit · 27-09-2003, 18:10

apparently itll look like this (pic from spymac.com)

not really a big change and i imagine the logos on products will stay the same flat style, not really news but then neither was that MS chat room stuff and that got on the BBC

flatcat · 27-09-2003, 18:46

yah, that's cool, I was more talking about panther being that brushed metal thing like iTunes and that...so fugly

greenfruit · 27-09-2003, 18:48

im pretty ambivalent about the metal effect but i know what you mean.

dockerydesigns · 30-09-2003, 08:31

I'd much rather they went with a more transparent (clear) plastic look. The metal one seem so... so... [sniff]..unfeeling!

greenfruit · 30-09-2003, 09:02

the plastic look is a bit cheap now tho

tomson · 30-09-2003, 09:07

greenfruit · 30-09-2003, 09:15

i see, its a bit like applele. dont like the sphere idea, its abit scary.

a new g4 cube would be good, in lovely aluminium with a decent price. i suppose the lcd imac as pretty much taken the same market though.

and thats our 500gig xserve with a PC thing above it and burgandy 300gig raid next to it

oli · 30-09-2003, 09:54

A guy i used to work with uses a bunch of xserves as a rendering farm.

he's mentioned here http://www.apple.com/uk/pro/video/addiction/index.html

greenfruit · 30-09-2003, 10:14

well, weve only the one. im after an xserve RAID but alas i think its unlikely.

its been up for 74 days so far, but i really need to reboot it after doing the 10.2.8 upgrade via ssh. ive left it a weekish so far since the upgrade

Toney · 01-10-2003, 09:13

i still like a colors one. I don't like a new logo just like a PC......
