[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: Heh it doesn't matter son. How is that the consumers fault? It isn't Apple needs to compensate for that. Why should I buy a new Mac when it might be outdated in a year? Your reasoning amuses me. As I sa…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: Again Apple is the one that made the claims. Well, according to *your* definition of the term "OS X ready". [quote] Making excuses and apologetic arguments only makes you look like a simpleton Mac…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: [/qb] The iBook that is not supported came out a year before OS X was shipped. Having a OS not support a computer that is only a year old is unreasonable, and unjustifiable. It's nonsense. Nonetheless, the …

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: OS X partially runs on these machines. Again.. these machines where not "OS X Ready" as Apple claimed them to be. Some of the Core of OS X doesn't work. And it hasn't from the start. And according to Apple it…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: And what common definition is that? Hahhah I haven't seen such a load of horshit in my life. As I said before, "this hardware is xy-ready" is nowadays almost always used to express that it will run xy, no…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: 3-5 years old? try newer than that The Rage Pro chip? Not so sure about that (yes, Apple does use plain standard ATI chips, nothing custom-made for them). [quote] And it doesn't matter what you …

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: And that my friend makes the hardware NOT OS X-ready According to common definitions of "...-ready", "OS X ready" would rather mean "the hardware supports running OS X", *not* "OS X supports every single…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: the only one not showing a "trace of a clue" is you. Doubt that. [quote] To think that writing Rage pro support in would be a difficult talk is assinine. It would take 2-3 people maybe a few week…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: AGAIN. it's NOT up to ATI to make sure all the Macs that APPLE said would be OS X ready to make sure that they are. This is on APPLE'S shoulders. Well, OS X *does* run on these machines. Apple never claim…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: They can't can they? Care to show me some proof? Unless ATI gives them the exact specifications on how to directly talk to the Rage Pro chip, Apple can't sensibly write a driver (reverse-engineering is n…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: Apple said these computers where OS X ready. Being OpenGL is a core component in OS X and it doesn't work right on these machines I'd say Apple has some explaining to do. I see some major problems with this…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: yep. a billiondollar compay with several hundred software engineers doesn't have the time to write OpenGL hardware acceleration and QT accleration drivers for the rage pro Sorry, but try to at least …

[quote]Originally posted by torifile: For all those saying that supporting these 'old' graphics card would hobble the OS: How? Why would having a driver hobble the OS in anyway? By taking development resources away from other areas that are c…

[quote]Originally posted by Sinewave: Oh please.. Apple claimed OS X would support this computer. OS X doesn't. Hmm, I kinda wonder whether they actually officially said that partivular piece of hardware would be *fully supported* in OS X, o…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: and you people making a point that 1999 is old and should be considered legacy and that's why Apple doesn't support it: then why do they fully support my PMG4 released in 99? Hmmm, let me guess, you did…

[quote]Originally posted by Scott H.: Why is it on the supported list then? What's stopping crApple from just writing a driver? Time? Other things to do that are *way* more important to 99% of mac users than being able to play OpenGL-games on…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: not true. Epson has a generic driver reference as does HP. That's how Be supports so many epsons and HPs. the drivers are no where near full featured but they are able to print text and in some cases color…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: of course not. but how about generic drivers for gamepads and USB printers? Don't know about gamepads, but at least for printers this is impossible, because there is no generic USB printer interface use…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: 1.) so much for Apple's claim of plug and play Well, sure as hell, Apple can't provide a driver for *everything*. I guess anyone (well, maybe almost anyone) would agree that focusing their resources on o…

[quote]Originally posted by Gus: I wonder how difficult it would be to implement ext3 on MOSX? That's the new journalling (kind of) filesystem used in the latest version of SUSE Linux (and there's a PPC version too!). It sounds pretty secure *and* …
