powerdoc: The original poster specifically asked "if upgradability is not an issue" would it be a replacement. Your post only covered upgradability issues. I think that for a graphics designer, the powerbook is a great desktop replacement. After…

I have a TiBook 500MHz that I got right after it was released. It IS a complete desktop replacement. Plus, with an airport card I got for $50 and a cheap wireless base station from 3com, I am on the internet on the couch, in my bedroom, just about…

I just got a G4/800 powerbook, and it is a very very fast machine. I have also noticed that the only time its fan turns on for me is when I'm running it hard. For example, playing Starcraft. It also has turned on one time when I was working in iM…

[quote]Originally posted by Toofeu: I'm starting to be very tired of apple and its products, I can't believe that the specs are so low... the intel world is reaching the 3 ghtz barrier and we get a 1.25 processor speed for more…

Double-precision FPU... I thought I read on Ars Technica that the G4 did double-precision, and that the Pentium 4 didn't. Did I read something wrong? Matthew

Not all apple printers were re-branded items. Their laser printers were some of the first in the industry and many of them are still printing. Inkjet stuff? Yes, it's all re-branded stuff. My original Stylewriter used Canon ink cartridges. To s…

[quote]Originally posted by mattbr: just checked the availabilities at one of the swiss warehouses. they have no 933's or dual ghz's, and 83 800's in stock (who said imac cannibalisation ?) the expected delay on both the 933 and the ghz is 20 day…

[quote]Originally posted by Kecksy: You make a very good point, but I wonder if Apple is as wise as you are. This could also be tied into their "switch" campaign. "I used to use a PC for gaming, but I wanted an edge, so I bought a PowerMac, a…

I actually like how the eMac looks, and even with its 17 inch screen, it is quite a bit smaller than my 17" crt studio display. I think it's great because it packs a 17" monitor into a relatively small package (about the size of the 15" CRT iMacs, …

[quote]If Apple ever puts an audio DSP on their mobo I will be VERY surprised. It's just not going to happen, and even then a SB Live is a better solution because it can be upgraded over the life of the comptuer. How about the old 7100 and 8100…

I don't know what Apple will release. Or maybe I do, and I'm just not telling any of you because I signed an NDA about the PDA. I love acronyms, don't you? Matthew

The SpyMac rumor is idiotic. It says that a salesman told people to buy the highest-priced computer that his company sells. If he said something else, he wouldn't be a SALESMAN! Yes, the fact that a salesman is doing his job selling high-margin m…

I think that they should lower the price on the G3 iMac to $599, or $499 if they can. Then they should sell them at KMart, Wal-Mart, and CostCo just like they sell cheap HP machines at that locations. If they sell like hotcakes, they could sell th…

My friend had a PowerMac (Maybe a 7100 or that era) and I showed him how to use speakable items and applescript. A few weeks later, he showed me how he had put it to use. He simply said "Computer, download porn" and sure enough, the computer would…

I have noticed that Apple hasn't been releasing a lot of "nifty-yet-useless" stuff that Mac fans used to love (OpenDoc and Cyberdog were cool, but...). With that in mind, if Apple is touting this new handwriting recognition technology, is there any…

Can't you just download the software "pooch" to do stuff like this? And for the people that are naysayers to the "grid" computing model, it's been all over the PC magazines lately. Of course, as usual with the PC mags, the uses are all theoretical…

I thought I saw something the other day about Apple releasing a new FCP keyboard. I think it was a "Give your mouse a break" promotion. Maybe it was just in the UK? Matthew

I think they should invent underpants that respond to the manipulation of your buttocks. People will see you wiggle around and think you need to go to the bathroom, but you'll actually be playing Marathon! Matthew
