  • All of those I believe are to be true. I recognize all of those statements...they are printed in all sorts of books. For reference, see: Apple Confidential The Second Coming of Steve Jobs On the Firing Line: My 500 days at Apple And there…
  • [quote]I won't post exact URLs, but have any of you been to Mac OS Gamer, or Upgrade Stuff lately? Thanks, now I have to delete my history cache all over again!
  • [quote]brand new, used
  • Pop of each key. Vacuum the base to get all the cheez-its, paper clips, etc out of there. Maybe wipe it down with a damp paper towel if there's grease there too. Put the keys into a basin of soapy water, dishwasher, whatever. You can pop them…
  • Sometimes I have wondered this. Apple, while still making successful hardware products (I must say the Ti is the sexiest laptop I have ever seen in my life, and the iMac is doing very nicely), they are still losing marketshare. I am not sure abou…
  • [quote]yea right. the processor can be expanded currently to a dual 500, Single 450 --> Dual 500 isn't worth the $300+ it costs IMHO. [quote]the graphic crd is upgradable, To what, a Radeon? GeForce 2MX? [quote] the ram is e…
  • [quote]It takes someone who is willing to take on a multifaceted game where killing people is not the only objective. What? You don't kill people?
  • [quote]Uhhh... what are you doing over there? Or do we want to know? Hitting the nail on the head! Duh! Fran: I know you're a console whore, but I've played consoles...one friend has an XBox, one has a Gamecube, etc. It's not the same. May…
  • Fran, I am not a sports game guy at all. Seriously, if you want to do a sport, go out and play it. You don't need to simulate it. The gaming experience just isn't the same. Once it reaches the level of the PC then I'll think about it. But now,…
  • [quote]I think it boils down to the kind of gaming you're doing. It's sort of 'not fun' to play Civ III or various flight sims on a console. Multiplayer support on consoles isn't too exciting, because you have to split the TV screen. *wap wap wap…
  • Later, if everything works out, I think I'll sell my G4. But for now it will be a gaming PC. It costed $750...cheaper than anything Mac. Gaming is one of the primary things I do on my computer, therefore, using a Mac wasn't really the best idea.…
  • Half Life...mmm... Too bad I'm getting a PC. Can't wait to play DoD and CS.
  • I don't know. Gateway seems to have a severe inability to produce something that distinguishes itself from a pile of shit...
  • [quote]I just got home from Palisades and after typing just a little bit, the white keyboards are SOO much better than the black. A lot more comfortable. ermm...how does a different color make something more comfortable?
  • What I want to know is why these morons were still playing Quake 3 in 1999. Hadn't they downloaded the q3test yet? I believe they had Yosemites.
  • [quote]For 92 and 120 mm fans, go with Panaflo or Papst. I'm not sure how deep the G4 fan is though. The Panaflos are 38 mm deep. I know there's a 25 mm Papst... Panaflo makes super 80mm as well. I just ordered 5 from BGMicro...they're $3.20 each…
  • Is this new? They changed their design about a year ago...is this the first time you've seen it? Or is my issue just around the corner with a brand new layout?
  • lol, I read about that on Ars about a week ago. The guy said he didn't worry much about frying the egg *and* the CPU because it was a "disposable" XP1500+. Whatever that means. Anyway, I downloaded one of the pics. And you thought you h…
  • [quote]Just look at the cost of the top of the line Gateway 700xl..$2,999.00? Look at the specs and then look at the price again and you can see why they are in economic straits. Too much $ for such modest equipment. I wouldn't agree. It fares ve…
