Quite a lot of us own Apple products in Madagascar; we have an Apple store in Antananarivo, as well. You'd be surprised. Have you visited SW Africa?

Sounds like you should be looking at an iMac.
As stated before, I want and need the expansion of the Mac Pro.
My own reason for getting my Mac Pro (2008 Octo Core) was that I intend the keep the computer for 3 - 5 years. Now that I'm just starting my 3rd year I'm confident that I can hit the 5 year mark. My personal feelings are that Mac Pros are for long-term ownership. At least for us small businesses. I know some big corps swap them out every couple of years.
iMacs are a better value for the computing power, but I don't believe they are suitable for long-term ownership. I don't actually think they are hard to expand, if you don't mind a stack of FW 800 HDDs.
Photo editing doesn't actually require a fantastic video card. It just needs to display accurate colour. More expensive cards are for gaming and movies, where things are moving at a rapid rate. If you don't do those things, then I don't believe you need to worry about upgrading the video card.
Memory is another matter.
Mac Pros support more, except for perhaps a small overlap between the low-end MP and high-end iMac (don't know that for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me). Time moves on, applications demand more RAM. I know that my MP still has lots and lots of expansion left in that department. Incidentally, giving your OS, Applications, etc enough RAM is the single most effective way to speed up your workflow. The moment you start writing to virtual memory you are start bogging down.
One thing to keep in mind is that for Mac Pros, you get a RAM slot per processor. So, all other things being equal (same type of architecture in the MP) an 8 core MP can handle more RAM than a 6 core, and a 4 core can handle the least. Do some research on your RAM needs (current and future) before jumping on an 8 core machine just for the RAM ceiling. You very likely will never need that much. But... there it is.
A Mac Pro is also more easily fixed, I believe. Something to consider if you are thinking long-term.
Apple promised something called Grand Central Dispatch in 2010 or yet to be delivered. Check it out on the Apple site. It promised to make it easier for application developers to multi-thread their programs. Photo editing suites are not really taking advantage of this, yet. But if they ever do an older multi-cored machine should stay current for a few more years.
My thinking is: If you want to get a really good machine now, and think you'll be getting another one in a 1-3 years then go iMac. When you buy peripherals for it, make sure that they will also work on a Mac Pro, so you can upgrade easily.
If you want a machine for 3-5 years, then think Mac Pro. More $$ up front, but I think you will save money over the 5 years.
Just some more grist for your mill.
everything here is, imho, of course....

And by "sell it right away," he means send it to me. This Sawtooth tower I just picked up could sure use it!
If you send it overnight I can have it by Christmas!

However, when I import the song (either by dragging or using the media import), Garageband automatically converts the song and removes all the bass. Is there a way for Garageband to not convert my music?
To me it sounds like you have some custom equalizer setting in iTunes to boost the bass because afaik it's a straight conversion that Garageband does, ie. what is in the MP3 file gets converted to AIFF. But if you want you can open the MP3 file in Audacity and export it as AIFF and see if there's any difference.

or if some user is trustworthy just create an optimum ID for an overseas person so they get their own email address but can't do anything to the parent account.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'll have to test if only the master account works in the iPad app.

Have newly acquired similar poor performance with full screen hulu on the family's mac mini (9400 video).
Only fix I have figured out that works for me was installing the older FireFox 3.6.xx (right along with FF4) and with the older FF, full screen flash works as it did in the past, i.e. Great.
Try it and let me know if this workd for you.

You couldn't even spare $10 to $15 per year? :confused: I certainly wouldn't recommend using free hosting.
Sure I would be prepared to pay that (but not much more). Where could I find a place that offers CGI hosting for $10-$15.

I have a 3rd Gen iPod Touch which I jailbroke at (4.0) with JailBreakMe.com from COMEX.
Recently I have been getting glitches, and crashes, I would like to update to 4.3.1
This is my first JailBroken device and I am just curious as to go about this safely.
What I thought to do is Restore my iPod in iTunes, Update it to the 4.3.1 Version and then run RedSnow on it. Is there more that I need to do?

Three years ago: iPhone revenue = 10 % of Apple's revenue
Two years ago: iPhone revenue = 26% of Apple's revenue
Now: iPhone revenue = half of Apple's revenue :eek:
Let's just hope they throw us a macbook every now and then. The didn't drop the word "Computer" in the Apple name for nuthin. :eek:

The entrance you ant is the one by gregs and hsbc. It's open at about 6am ;). If you want in earlier go down to the abbey entrance to the left is a set of stairs. Go down them and cross the service road. Through the fire exit and up the stairs and follow the corridoor. It comes out bang opposite the apple store.
is the abbey entrance where burger king is?
cheers for the info

I was working at my job at a camera store; I had just pulled in around when it started happening I guess. I remember parts of the day vividly...I even remember what I was listening to on the stereo on the way in. We didn't know what was going on until a coworker that was off that day called (I took the phone call) and told us. We pretty much watched the TV all day after that.

With my car system, volume 18 with my iPhone maxed is equivelent to around 30 with my Nano - at this volume I have the sound of gentle hissing when paused. Not cool.
I'd say Nano is loud enough for general headphone use, but if there is background noise it's not that loud. If I'm spending for something to house my entire music collection, it can't be second to my phone for music volume. That's just silly.

I think you'll be fine with the i5, I would go with the 3.1 GHz over the 2.7 GHz though.
And given that you mentioned you're waiting for it to come to Israel...I'm going to guess the person downgrading your posts is someone who doesn't like Israel.
