as i posted a few weeks ago in the macosx forum, i recently started moving my parents and sibs over to X after having switched fulltime myself about 6 months ago. not surprisingly, they really liked it. my dad only wished that he still had the contr…

A few years back, after the Knowledge Navigator was forgotten from the collective memory, there were discussions of making the computing experience less user driven and have the computer learn what you do with the computer and have it seek out thing…

Greetings, Back when 10.0 was released, a lot of people excitedly installed pre-releases of 10.0.1 and so forth and found that you couldn't install the official release thereafter. one such fix was to remove the contents of the "Receipts" folder …

greetings, make sure you've installed the security update and the installer update. you won't be able to proceed any further until you've done this. here's the apple page for the combined 10.1.5 update as well as the others i mentioned:

greetings, in terms of simplicity, i don't think X will ever achieve that kind of ease of use. apps do all sorts of wierd things when they install files with kernal mods and other things into the main library (system) folder w/o really tellin…

greetings, The spit and polish found in the 9.2 GUI is the result of over 10 yrs of tinkering. I don't think it will take that long for Apple to achieve that in OS X. In my opinion, the classic OS wasn't that special until System 7. It truly beat…

A good friend of mine was a lifelong Windows user and switched after the new iMac was introduced. He very much disliked the MacOS prior to X. The main difference has been that he doesn't play games. If games are your thing, I'm afraid you're boun…

greetings, i didn't know about the RAM upgrade possiblity. my dad uses it for very light chores (email, web, etc.) and the current arrangement seems to work pretty well. battery life is a huge problem. whereas the beast works well with 9 and l…

QT6 is amazing. I was very impressed by the MWNY streaming broadcast. Unlike other people, I didn't experience any hiccups during the 40 minutes or so that I had it running. The sound is much better than I expected. I love QT6. I wish Apple t…

MDD (1ghz/Radeon 9000/768MB/Superdrive) and i love it! i don't do gaming and mainly use it for PowerPoint presentations for work. it replaces my old beige G3/400 with Radeon 7000 and the difference is between nice and day. i use 10.2 full time. f…

greetings, i'm falling in love with my dual-1-ghz box. i'm not doing heavy lifting with it yet but for all other purposes, it's a dream. if you're looking to buy a new mac, really take a look at these machines because even w/o real DDR, they'r…

There are threads about zapping the PRAM to quiet these machines when running OS 9. Check out Mac-in-touch for more details. na

an update on the Switch campaign is in order. i think that Steve will roll out these results. if we don't hear anything yet again, it's bad news. we should also get an update regarding Quark as well as a preview. na

[quote]This pattern repeats throughout the Mac line-up. Machines simply cost too much, an the price-points are in dire need of re-alignment. Apple was deservedly roasted over the 100 price bump because the increased costs were an almost complete fal…

this is incredibly good news to wake up to on a saturday morning. alas, i won't be waiting yet another year for such a computer. but, after nearly 5 years with the same machine (heavily upgraded), i need more power. the current dualie line is good (…

if AMD had Apple as a customer, perhaps they'd do better financially. how many PC boxmakers can AMD really count on anyhow? perhaps having Apple purchase large numbers of processors at a reliable rate might improve their financial status. AMD is …

from what i've heard from a friend at apple, this macworld is supposed to be a big deal for the company. to give you some perspective, he doesn't know details any more than we do and when he does, he never tells me anything. na

There will be a device along these lines coming for the Mac. It won't be from Apple. I've been told it's coming soon. na
