This is the time of year I usually relish. The main reason is that it’s Macworld Keynote time! But, alas, with no Steve Jobs, I felt a little down.
Though most of the announcements were very good, not having Jobs (plus it being the last Macworld with Apple) had me waxing nostalgic.
I am looking to upgrade my CS3 apps. One because I have my largest client upgrading to ID CS4, but also due to the “arm-twisting” pricing Adobe is doing to get you to upgrade. (need to upgrade by end of Feb.) The only bright spot is that I probably won’t have to upgrade my Quark anymore! Will gradually work my way to changing all my Quark layouts to ID.
My G5 tower is getting a little long in the tooth. Part of me wants to get a new tower, but those are getting more than a little pricey. In keeping costs down, I think I may lean toward an iMac. It has more processing power than my present G5 plus it’s a lower cost alternative vs. a Mac Pro. Already have a 2GHz MacBook Pro for the working road trips.
Any thoughts on the hardware/software comments? I’d enjoy the feedback. Have a great day!
