I don't trust Apple rumor stories from any of the mainstream media left,right, or center. It's just not their area of expertise or focus (nor should it be, given all the real problems we face). The buzz certainly seems to have built to a cresc…

Make it big enough to use a 3.5" drive, have an internal power supply, and be reasonably easy to upgrade RAM/HDD, and that's all the tweaking to the basic form factor I need/want.

SO basically my home folder and settings follow me wherever I go, hopefully in a pretty "user proof" manner (i.e. all I have to do is save my file, not worry about what disc I'm saving it to or moving fonts or whatever). It has potential but the App…

Right now I think I'll either wait for G4 upgrades or Macs to go on Blue Light Special and get set up to last a few years. By the time I buy the New IntelMac and the software upgrades to make the IntelMac go as fast as it should, I might as well ju…

One of the flaws in the car analogies is the auto market is consolidating. There are a large variety of makes, but few real companies. BMW=BMW, Mini, Rolls ; Ford = Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Volvo autos ; etc. Just be…
