If there is any "One More Thing..." type shock it'll be the statement, "We have availability and are shipping everything that I just announced today." -Gator

OK, and to further add flames to the fire... This Apple/HP deal was originally announced what - like a *year* ago? What took them so long to repackage the iPod? Were iPod tattoos really that much of a technological stretch? -Gator

My Apple has been yapping to me for years now, where have you been... -Gator

So will his keynote also be called a "PhilNote"? Also, to the poster who wondered what Apple would be like without Steve Jobs... think John Scully, or Michael Spindler, those were some funky years... -Gator

I bought a standard model 2x2 G5 a few months ago to use as a FileMaker Pro server for my organization. Should have shipped with a 160 Gb drive (in fact the box was marked that way) but it was delivered with a 250 Gb drive. No complaints here, tho…

I remember a buddy of mine bought one of the first ones in 1984, he paid full price for it, $2,500 or thereabouts, and for a couple of struggling college students that was a major outlay. He was a writer, and needed it. I liked what I saw, though …

Left field, huh? Here's one... How about a two or three button mouse? Heck, the operating system supports it, why can't the guys across the campus in the hardware division whip one up? It's certainly no technical stretch. -Gator

We've done this before; take a look at some Apple history... Back a few years ago when the Mac IIfx was the kahuna machine on the block and the "average" Mac sold was a Mac SE there was a big time hue and cry for a "headless SE". It was thought th…

Making a disk image worked - Thanks! -Gator

Here's a G5 tibit for all you rumormongers... The organization I work for had our server room broken into last week and among other things our trusty old G4 PowerMac server was stolen. We had to replace it ASAP (I really wanted to wait for the u…

Dumb question time: Does anyone make Bluetooth printers and headphones yet? Is Apple setting the stage for the aftermarket with this release or are there already devices out there needing the drivers they just released? I too have nearly pull…

Seems simple to me... Apple's market research shows them that *most* eMacs sold never get a peripheral plugged into it in its life. It's an AIO, for the typical lab (or general purpose office) environment there's no demand for it. Eventually I'…

Two words: FileMaker Server. The PowerMac G4 is an incredibly valuble machine for those of us who continue to deploy FileMaker servers. It's the only Mac that can still boot into OS 9, and FM Server for OS X bites so bad that users are still …

Odd. In my office I extend the desktop from my TiBook 800 to an ancient AppleVision 17" and at home onto a Dell flat screen 15" and all apps that I use (iSafari, iMail, iEverythingelse) span no problem. The only weirdness that I ever noticed was w…

I had a devil of a time upgrading to Panther after backing my entire system up to a FW 400 External drive. Ya', right, only affects FW 800. I had to disconnect all external devices, install Panther, then reconnect. Even then, every once and a w…

Kickaha, My Pismo does the same thing as yours, not coming back after a restful sleep. It's not *always*, though, just about ever third time or so. I found that the odds of waking up OK rise when I make sure that the Mac is in Finder mode befor…

A friend of mine just took delivery on a new G5 and tells me that there's *no* upgrade coupon for Panther (10.3) inside. He was told by the Apple Store dude that hardware bought today will not qualify for free Panther because chances are Panther wo…
