  • I would never buy it, nor recommend it.

  • Golden rule: The real specs are never better than those reported in advance by Think Secret. I mean, a GeForce FX 5200 in a non-upgradeable, $1299 computer? 256MB RAM isn't enough to have OS X running, and play one modern game. It's enough for su…
  • I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If true, this is terrible, and I can't imagine one person in the whole, wide world that I can recommend this box to.

  • Looks like competition is finally benefitting DTP users. And I who's still stuck on QXP 4.1.
  • And to make both work together, the solution was actually to add a space after the ~, so that the control panel name reads ~ Suitcase MenuFonts?. Weird shit.
  • Seems like it was actually the ~Suitcase 9 Menufonts control panel that was incompatible with ATM. Seems to work just fine now.
  • If the book is about a new version of AppleWorks, why is the book second edition? I'm no believer yet.
  • Five minutes of googling shows that the 'X' means 6. Which isn't all too weird, since it's the last version of AppleWorks to write something about. And you don't need skills in norwegian to find out. ;-)
