  • Ouch, being a musician, I'd say that losing the gear is not so much important as losing the DATA, the songs, tracks, etc. If someone were to steal a synthesizer of mine, I wouldn't be so much disturbed by the loss of the piece of hardware as I woul…

  • I remember while working at an ISP in *1996*, some PC "rocket scientist" told me why Photoshop was so much better on a PC. I mean, how does one even argue with someone that probably thinks the earth is flat?
    in How to overcome anti-mac predjudice... Comment by kestral December 2001
  • High school. At the time, I owned an Amiga 500 at home (after moving up from a Commodore 64) - at school we had Macs and IBM DOS machines. I tried both, I preferred the Mac by a HUGE margin, so when it came time for my next machine, I went Mac. I…

  • Leonis, now that you're working again, you're the one that's buying us drinks!! And when I get a job, drinks are on me!! Murbot, thanks for the answers - I was curious, how do you break even on the Macs you buy? I know that you buy them in C…
    in Strategies for trading in old machine and buying up to new? Comment by kestral December 2001
  • Murbot, I have three questions: 1. I was curious to know, has it been mostly Americans that have purchased your machines on eBay? 2. Is there any special things you have to do to send over the machines across the border? I take it you use Fed…

  • Murbot, I know you already know this, but just wanted to say, you're my hero!! Ahh, nice to be back on AI. MacNN is nice and the people are very knowledgable, but for some reason, the conversations here are much more livelier (probably because …

  • [quote]Originally posted by groverat: If Apple wants to "compete" in that school by giving free iMacs then that's groovy, but until then, that school wasn't of Apple's concern. Uhhh Groverat, if Apple tried to give away free iMacs, that would N…
    in Steve still pissed by MS antitrust deal Comment by kestral December 2001
  • Well Torfile, if AAPL can stay above $20.50 (it's 200 day moving average) in the next few days, it could make another run quick run to $23. I'm mostly a short term trader of options for my own trading so I usually look short term. But if it falls …
    in GUARANTEES about Apple Computer, Inc. Comment by kestral December 2001
  • For the person that asked how Apple got their cash horde, one reason is if you go back these past 3-4 years and look at the Cash and Marketable Securities line in the balance sheet. Apple owned a lot of stock in a chip company called ARM (the stock…

    in Best albums for sex Comment by kestral November 2002
  • I read somewhere once that when Michael Jordan was a kid, he didn't make the basketball team, so he worked his ass off and got there through sheer hard work. Anyone know if this was true or if it was just hype? On the other hand, I'm a musician,…

  • Hey Murbot, long time no post! Yeah, I think I met that AI member that called you about his comic book So what Mac do you have now (and how many have you been through since we last posted)?
    in Have you actually talked or met any AI member? Comment by kestral September 2002
  • As a musician looking pick up second hand gear at a reasonable price, imo eBay sucks. So many times I have been outbid, which is fine since that's part of the auction process - but to see items sell for way above market value (and in many cases, th…

  • I've been listening to old U2 albums in the car lately. Boy and October are both great albums. In fact, I'd take those two albums over War and Unforgettable Fire, but U2 rarely if ever has a clunker album. In a world of vapid pop like Britney S…

  • Tonton, I don't know why but for the most part I don't dig slavic "white girls". I prefer the ones that are of Celtic/Nordic descent. As for the coatcheck girl vs. IT girl, I'll take the coatcheck girl. Oh man was she hot, but as said, way above …

  • Went to a really ritzy club tonight with some friends (one does music for TV commercials/movies, the other owns a record company) I'm talking to them about recording an album, and we were also checking out the band there because we know some of the…
