John, you are killing me.
first, several of your recent picks are all games I used to play regularly in the arcades.
second, they are also games I have/had score set that were good for first or second place.
...to then easily get beat etc. from these contests which I can't even participate in.
Today, I actually started leaning toward perhaps getting a used PC portable...perhaps in the 1-2 GHz range so fast enough for at least all the golden era games in MAME.
..cuz the $1300+ I need to save for a nice new G5 will likely be months down the road....and ideally nowadays I really don't need that speed except for MAME...so getting a cheap PC for that...and just continue to use this older, slow mac for e-mail, web, and other net crap seems ok for now.
Odds are I will get Panther installed and running on this old mac...so can still work on that project....but any version of that likely wouldn't be done before spring 2005 at the earliest.

Typically in other countries macs were about 50% more versus in the USA.mahlemiut wrote:Macs are nowhere near that cheap down here.... http://www.bigbyte.co.nz/imac/index.html
It seems that roughly 50% export price hike is still there.
I checked that link..that $2649.99 model they show is only $1299 USD in the USA which IMHO is a pretty decent price.
The 20 inch 1.8 Ghz iMac model in the USA goes for $1899 USD.
BTW my above noted prices from directly from the Apple Store here in the USA.
