Ooohhh... 128GB RAM and 18 cores - 10gBaseT networking - feck!

I will have to start running Cat6a...

I have not looked at the price tag. I want to savour this moment before
I blow it to hell.

Gonna be very expensive or rather a lot of money depending on how you look
at it. I think mac rumours thinbks the basic model will start at $5k.
I'd expect the 18 core to start at around $8k. :-0



*meep*

Meh. 1983; Apple Lisa. 5 MHz processor, 512K RAM, 5 MB HD, 12"
monochrome screen. $10,000. I sold a lot of 'em. (GRIN)

maybe for your particular store, but the lisa was a huge failure.

they were very slow and only had lisa workshop apps. there's a ****load
of them in a landfill.

on the other hand, they're rare and now sought by collectors,
particularly the original lisa with the (awful) twiggy drive.

apple offered a free upgrade to the lisa ii with a 3.5" floppy, and
nearly everyone who had the origina lisa took advantage of the offer,
making an original unmodified lisa *very* rare and very valuable.
