  • I'm tired of debating this with you. I have worked at multi-national companies, and I know how they have operated. I now work in academia, and I know how they operate. I'm sorry, but judging by what I see and have seen every day, you guys are wro…

  • Quote: Originally posted by T'hain Esh Kelch Yes, do that! Its soldered to the motherboard, but still in an AGP slot! I think the confusion is that you say "slot" when I think you mean "bus". There is no "slot" on the emac; there is no vi…

  • I thought the 3g & 4g iPods used the same dock... Hmm. Guess I'll have to go find one before they disappear.

    in Apple to introduce flash-based music player? Comment by uberspleef October 2004

  • It's pretty much common sense: Keep it in a nice, cozy bag, and don't drop it. Don't put any undue stress on the hinge, and keep it away from food & water. Try not to move it from cold to warm environments too often; I'm sure the condensation …

  • I really don't understand why people have gotten their skirts in a knot over the video card in the iMacs. It's a better card than what's in my two work machines (16mb PCI ATI Rage Pro & 32mb Mobility Radeon 7500), and better than what's in my P…
    in IMAC VS PowerBook Comment by uberspleef September 2004
