  • I hadn't read that one. It's a good take.
    in RUMOR: Sculley to Palm... Newton Scuttlebut? Comment by smacsteve November 2001
  • This Jobs hate Scully stuff is unfounded! Did you ever concider that Jobs ended the Newton because it was a flop that was loosing money out the ass? The Newton was too soon for it's time and there could still be a new device still. Although it c…

  • I can only hope that Apple has that "Vision Thing" enough to see that this is the true future of Apple and not this Digital Hub thing they seem to be banking on so heavily. Don't misunderstand, the digital hub is a great marketing tool, but it need…

  • [quote]Originally posted by TigerWoods99: I'm wondering how Entourage is (and compared to mail) cause I might start using it. I've compared the two. I think the Entourage isn't as stable as Mail, I've had to quit the Entourage whenever waking f…
    in What's the word on Office X? Comment by smacsteve March 2002
  • My only complaint about Word is the font isn't anti-alias, it doesn't look as good as it does in Apple Works.
    in What's the word on Office X? Comment by smacsteve February 2002
  • Well, he did say it was a pre-production model. But aside from that little stuck CD mishap he did give it very positive marks. Thanks murbot for fixing the link. I'm using OW 4.1sp... I wonder if that had anything to do with the hyperlink not wor…

  • OK, the above post is supposed to have a hyper link, but it doesn't seem to want to work. I tried to fix it, sorry.

    in Son of Pismo?14.1" iBook? Comment by smacsteve January 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by gfeier: I've got the iM-700 on my dual 800 and I find the sound quality to be excellent. It was the only Monsoon system available a couple of months ago for the USB-only Quicksilvers. The only downside is that there is a…
    in USB Speakers & Monsoon vs Klipsch Comment by smacsteve December 2001
  • I wouldn't consider either. I would scrape together enough to get a G4 TiBook. If you can't afford a 550 get a leftover 500. With the 1MB L2 Cashe, some feel it's faster. Although with the better graphics card in the new ones I don't see that be…
    in Which would be a better OS X machine? Comment by smacsteve December 2001
  • I have it on good info that a G4 upgrade for the Pismo will be announced at MWSF.
    in Non-Titanium Powerbooks G4s???? Comment by smacsteve December 2001
  • I like the fact they have given the built in fire wall protection, but I don't understand how the 128bit encryption isn't included for the older Airport base station. If the encryption can be updated for the card why not the base? Just another reas…
    in Airport 2! Why isn't it faster? Comment by smacsteve November 2001
  • I've tested a iBook of the ASC's at Comp USA and we took the iBook from one corner (where the Apple Store is) to the tech shop (at the other corner) which is at the other corner. This had to be an easy 300 feet. Granted this is without barriers, b…
    in Airport part deux Comment by smacsteve November 2001
  • Gee... I think I remember posing this possibility of Apple and nVidia joining forces and introducing the nForce on a future system and I got slammed and told I was a idiot for thinking this would be a likely senerio. Now you guys are sitting around…

  • [quote]Originally posted by RosettaStoned: HOLY CRAPMONKIES! That means my PowerMac 8600 is a SPEED DEMON!!! ----------- RosettaStoned Don't be an idiot. The 8600 is a model of a Power Mac not the chip. Or was that a joke? Never mind.
    in The Reg on future G4 roadmap Comment by smacsteve February 2002
  • I don't know if you all have figured this out yet, but the G4 and the G5 thing being that the G4 represents the 7400 series (G being the 7th letter in the alphabet and the 4 being the generation of the chip). This would make since why the G5 would …
