Gamblor, that is all well and good, but if that is your argument, I suggest you don't frame it in the "casual user = average user" argument - just make your own argument about what you think people do. To lead off with a false premise based on…

Ah, I see your point. Agreed - I was being too literal (I tell ya, I was in the grips of a disagreeing frenzy - what could I do?). Fish

First off, Photoguy, I agree with you (except for the implication that PCs are just for Gamers - as much as I much prefer Macs, there ARE good reasons for some people to use PCs besides games). Gamblor - I guess I don't see the "casual user" vs "…

As long as I am in a disagreeing frenzy.... I don't think it is appropriate to equate "casual" with "average" - in fact, I don't even see a clear connection between the two terms. Fish

Well, I confess your sentence from page 3 is VERY difficult to parse: "but I guarantee that a you can find every price point occupied by Apple to get whipped by it's price point counterpart in PCland by 20, 50 or even 100% in terms of dollars" …

Fred, actually, I seem to recall you said "100% cheaper", which actually doesn't make sense. I guess you just misspoke - no harm in that, just odd that you find it so difficult to admit. Seems like your example machine is a good place to star…

I have to disagree with applenut here, in that using that sort of definition, you could re-label "entry level" any way you want...."it is entry level if you want a 1.6 ghz G5", or "it is entry level if you need a dual-processor cpu". For better o…

It is even simpler...just follow the W Doctrine: 1. Budget surplus? This calls for tax cuts! 2. Deficit? This calls for tax cuts! I am not certain just WHAT sort of economic climate would be required for W to decide tax cuts are a bad ide…

OK, let me take a shot, so long as so many of us are making (un)educated guesses at what will happen at WWDC.... Considering the rumors out there, tempered by both ATAT and Moki, I am guessing we will see: 970 demo, but not available until Sep…

Man, Grad Student - lighten up, dude. Fish

You may be able to sign up by the month with T-Mobile, but they had a special deal on the Sidekick, where the $49 phone and the all-you-can-eat internet had to be on a one-year contract. As I say - I like my sidekick, but it's size and mediocre p…

I have one, and feel the same - it does what it says, but it is just too bulky for my liking. The good stuff: I got a good deal at Amazon ($49 for the phone with activation). It IS great to be able to read and send email from your phone, and it …

[quote]Originally posted by pscates: That, my dear fellows, is why I ONLY go with one rumor site. The ONLY one that matters and is ALWAYS dead-on: MOSR. The King of All Mac Rumor Sites.

Maybe I was unclear in my original post - I recognize that they are just a rumor site, and that their record is very, very good. I actually generally like TS, and would put their rumors up against any others (except maybe ATAT, who rarely speculate…

Actually, the 12" has built-in bluetooth. Fish

I gotta side with Murk on this too...it is amazing how obsessed people are here with MOSR. Meader may (or may not) have a bad track record, but his site is entertaining. And as an aside....[edit - removed because my criticism here was based on…

Thanks SO much! Man - and to think I was in my office for hours after work last night working on this Thanks again - odd that I never entered that before, and it worked, but for whatever reason, my iMac is DHCPing like normal again. Fi…

I think that BR is making a reference to another thread, where it has been posited that Scott places too much value on WHO says or does things rather than WHAT is said or done. No reason to muck up a good, thoughtful thread though. Happy MLK d…

Can anyone tell me how he "saves his own skin" by commuting death sentences? I am sincerely trying to understand that argument, but I don't see any evidence that this will somehow "save" him. Fish

Is that your cogent argument? Stalin, the liberals, etc? Wow. And what ARE these "several important points" on which he was wrong? I only see one (that the incoming gov was going to stop the moratorium). Where are the several? [ 01-19-20…
