[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;29801028]Dem flowers[/QUOTE] They let me download bandwidth faster.

[QUOTE=nikomo;29796050]Even if you were America, when you posted that, it was May 12th, not 11th.[/QUOTE] I assumed it was because of bureaucracy. Always processing paperwork ten days after it's considered useless.

[QUOTE=ze beaver;29803970]I bet the next generation will have proprietary RAM. I wonder what they'll call their connector though, iSATA?[/QUOTE] I really wouldn't put it past them.

[QUOTE=ze beaver;29803970]I bet the next generation will have proprietary RAM.[/QUOTE] Apple's done that before. Back when everyone was using either SIMM30 or SIMM72 (including other Macintosh models), the Mac IIfx used SIMM64.

They have a "Mac Memory" subsection. Prices aren't too heavily inflated, though. I checked one product (2x4gb DDR3-1066, notebook size) - Mac price was $94, normal price was $78-84, with the one from the same manufacturer being $80. A 20% markup isn't too bad, all things considered. At least where Apple products are concerned.

What really kills me is that many of the technologically challenged think that Apple isn't compatible with anything else [i]because they're so far ahead of everything else[/i].

[QUOTE=ze beaver;29803970]I bet the next generation will have proprietary RAM.[/QUOTE] Because common standards are too mainstream.
