My package shipped out of Cordova, TN, too. Some people in the Bay area already have their packages. Mine will hopefully arrive here in Champaign, IL tomorrow. 8) I might head up to the kick off event at the Chicago Store. I've heard from a litt…

With OS X being setup teh way it is, one doesn't have to worry about the script kiddies as much as the exploits. Windows has the script kiddies, making the stupid viruses and and e-mail attachment trojans, etc. OS X, being based on BSD, doesn't ha…

[quote]Originally posted by spooky: I was wondering what other people's views are now that X is the default OS and has been out for a while. Personally I am not happy with it. The most praise I can give it is simply "OK". Unfortunately "OK" is usua…

The base of OS X is good; it uses FreeBSD. You are all glad Apple chose FreeBSD. OS X would not run under linux in any acceptable way. Linux is nothing more than a hack job built the wrong way from the ground up. A lot of people use linux thinki…

What's people's beef with YDL? It's a solid client/server operating system. It is loads faster than OS X. MoL will allow you to run classic Mac applications from within linux, but it's emulated. Expect 90% to real time speed at best.

The problem with the IBM GXP drives, esp. the 75 GXP was that they used glass platters to record the data. This is what originally allowed them to be one of the first with 75GB drives. However, glass is more fragile than metal, hence all of the pr…

I doubt most people would see a difference between the current 5400/7200 drives and 10k ones. Besides, 10k's are way too loud for most people's tastes. I had two running in an external case, and they were uncomfortably loud. It sounded like a jet…

Good job on both of the movies. I wish Apple released a product like that. However, I don't think Apple will do it, considering its stance on PDA's. Although, a name like iNexus would really fit into the whole digital hub idea. I'm afraid th…

Supposedly, we'll see some updated Firewire and USB ports with the next round of machines. Why do you think they're switching off OS 9 on the new machines? They could very well just not support it but leave it on. The reason is they don't want to…

The Quicksilver was announced at MWNY '01. I ordered mine the first week of August and had it within 10 days or so, so the delay wasn't that long. I think the MW shows are moving towards showing off the whole 'digital hub' strategy versus new ha…

8 track tapes have enough space for an embedded BT adapter.

Most people at Apple are still out of the loop. I know some people who work there, and they still don't know anything beyond what most of us here know. In fact, most of them read these rumor sites and even post at places like this. The few who kn…

[quote]Originally posted by Luca Rescigno: Yep, suuuuure. We all believe you, considering you can't even get the name of the company right. Geez... "my friends at Mac here." Don't you know the name of the company is Apple? Mac is the operating …

I think the expo will go something like this: 1) Discussion on Jaguar's adoption rate and how successful it's been. There will most likely be a continuation on this, including topics about new Macs booting OS X only, future plans/features, and p…
