:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:My basic setup is pretty simple.
Yeah. A YOUtube showing just a flowchart of what you wrote above would be hilarious!What we should be doing here is having a good 1 day computer setup seminar. Now that may have some real value for folks. Maybe a You tube for the forum. That be kind of cool
There will always be upgrades . Myself i am skipping the New Mac pro and the New MBP until the next gen. Just not enough horsepower gain from what i have.A new wrinkle?
I'm reading this morning that Apple will be updating to the new Montevina chips in June.
There is a blurb on macrumors.com
Is it worth just getting all the cr*p off my MacBook and freeing up disk space for 3-4 months?????
Personally, if somebody really needs to replace or get a new computer for critical work now, there is no point in waiting. Whatever one buys, at any time, is or will be obsolete quickly anyway. Buy on need, not on speculation. The amount of use and time saved with a new machine over the next 3-6 months for the new ones to roll out may be more than worth it for those in need.There will always be upgrades .

There will always be upgrades, usually every 6 months with more "significant" upgrades every 18 months (Corollary to Moore's Law). And for sure, the current stuff will always be less expensive 6 months from now...A new wrinkle?

I am clearly not a wimp when it comes to doing upgrades or getting new technology but seeing a new chip platform coming on line so quickly, I just wanted to do a sanity check.
Jack, I went in the other direction on tech purchases (cheaper more often) prior a more serious move into digital photography. Now, I agree with your assessment of buying high end.
I think I am going to get myself a good big fast FireWire drive (suggestions welcome) to restructure my image files and get that all in order. At the same time, I will clean off the MacBook and use that and see if it continues to act up with a clean hard drive. If it doesn't behave, bye bye. If it does, then I will wait till the summer.
Sorry for all the "thinking out loud" on this thread but it has been really helpful !!!!!!
Yes, and I suppose you would also like me to buy a 24mm shift lens that doesn't fit on any of my gear :angel:Oh just get the MBP and get on with it.:grin:
I'll cross the "jumper" bridge when I get to it. The OWC enclosure I assume from the picture will hold one drive. Dumb question but why doesn't seagate sell the drive with an enclosure?Terry: Get these boxes and stuff them with the Seagate 7200.11 500G or 1TB drives from NewEgg:
OWC drive Box, eSATA, FW800x2, FW400 & USB2 interfaces: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/MEFW924AL1K/
Drives form NewEgg are a bit less expensive than OWC, but OWC should match price for you if you ask. NOTE! On Seagate 7200.11 drives you HAVE to remove the stock jumper to get SATA2 speeds, otherwise the drive runs at SATA1 speed!!! Why they default to SATA1 who knows, but they do...
Make a bet it fits your M8 . :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:Yes, and I suppose you would also like me to buy a 24mm shift lens that doesn't fit on any of my gear :angel:
