An expensive morning
Mister Jobs just announced at Macworld NY that Mac OS X 10.2 – “Jaguar” is official, and will be released to the public August 24.
My problem: It will cost $129.
New GeForce or Radeon video card to take advantage of Jaguar’s high-speed graphics rendering will cost $130 – $150… less if I let the eBay mistress raininva find me a good deal.
I’m not even going to talk about the cost of the announced 1 GHz processor upgrade which would more than double the speed of my current machine.
Understand, I’m not whining – these are all “wish list” items, and I’ll manage fine with what I have until I can get them. But I do sometimes wish I indulged in a less expensive hobby. Assuming there are any.
Addendum (12:25pm) Looks like current 10.1.5 users might be able to upgrade to Jaguar for about $19.95. That improves my mood some. 🙂
