  • Some memorable quotes: Bill Gates on Jobs and Allen: "People tell you about their great vision. I honestly say that the only guy I've ever met -- well, I've met two guys. Paul Allen has some vision and Steve Jobs has some vision." Steve …
  • Quote: originally posted by crazychester Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I did some research into theblackhat during this thread's first incarnation. I think he's always been the same person and probably someone from the AI Dreamtime. BillGates maybe…
  • It is interesting to meet people "famous" within the discipline one is most familiar with, especially after having been regaled with a most splendid public image. Almost invariably, one is struck with the unavoidable sensation of the basic unadorned…
  • Very interesting and well put by some! I have thoroughly enjoyed slipping back into the old saddle and being able to pose a few thoughts on these boards. As I've said - it's good to be back. Alas, I can only stay through to the TunaFest here (a gre…
  • Mandricard ... Murchison - excellent to see y'all again! Overall, very insightful responses everybody. Lotta new names here - but I see some of the old ones. On to qualifying and even quantifying the Apple essence if we can. Surely there is no be…
  • One of the things I find most compelling about this site is the degree of analysis and thoughtfulness inherent in many posts. This thread is an example of how divergent views can be presented, all within the backdrop of a better Apple or Mac expe…
  • ..... Thank you?! Running off at the mouth to the point that you "leak when you squeak" has never been an admirable trait. I appreciate your concern for the preservation of confidentiality as I agree with you - it is a most commodious trait. Y…
  • wow! To Alcimedes: "For ... read." Thank you for the explanation and link to the "cookie sheet" thread. To THT: "I ... english." No, please. It was my bad. I just took it a certain way and had no license to do that. Please forgive. I wear two "…
  • Very interesting observation, Matsu.
  • To tonton: Yes. I couldn't agree more - you've put it so well. These must have been remarkable people. Its interesting that they were Apple people. P.S. Workerbee?????? I just got through reading a collection of threads involving Lefty Right a…
  • to Scott: "Or ... posts." lol. yeah, your right. gotta get a life. But pretty much resigned myself that the next few years aren't going to be fun. And as for those old posts, normally anyone would have to agree with you - I know it sounds total…
  • Thank you for the many replies both on and off these boards. It has been very helpful and I hope I've returned the favor for those who asked. To Monkeyastronaut: "Many ... forums . . ." Yeah, your right. I see that now. To tonton: "Welcome ba…
  • Yeah - I know, its kinda cornfusing. Thing is, I'm really a PC person who wants to get up to speed real fast on Apple type Mac-stuff. Its like waking up one day and finding your whole technology world changed religions on ya. Everything we…
  • Yeah - I could log in at a remote, but I can't do it here at the lab. Every workstation was apparently previously occupied by a former member of your site when they were a student here. When I try to log on, you site refuses to issue me new cr…
  • Nope. When I try to register for a different name it seems to interpret my effort as an attempt to register under another alias and doesn't seem to like it. Since theblackhat trained me this summer, he gave me his password but I want my own. …
  • A moderator emeritus named Mark said at the start of this thread that he'd like to meet Bill Gates (he had a picture of Bill Gates . . . at least I think it is). Did Bill ever post to these boards? How could you be sure it was really him? If tr…
  • Thank you so much!! I get it now!! Mac is so fine!!! I'm so used to settings, drivers and anything else Microsoft can dream up to make things harder than necessary that I couldn't get around what you were saying for awhile! Thank you for your pa…
  • After calling both MacConnections and MacWarehouse I cannot find a switch/hub that is supported for the Mac. The PC supported products all have software that must be installed and drivers that must be loaded. Is it the same for the Mac?
  • Please forgive me - but don't switches affect the performance of each connected component. What would the "optimum" setup be - all things considered?
