  • The primary difficulty I have with WinXP is the fact that it's not a "true" multi-tasking OS. Mac OS X is. In XP, EVERYTHING is linked together, connected, mixed up, etc. In Mac OS X, NOTHING is. Example: Want to delete Internet Explorer (default…
  • Sometimes I think rumor forums and websites hurt Mac sales... here is yet another example. If you want the iMac, get the iMac. It's going to be a great machine for at least the next couple of years (if not longer, depending on your uses). Tiger w…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Scott This helps to explain why Apple's computers are white instead of black. They are White Supremacists! Yeah, but the U2 iPod should help things.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Frank777 They already do. Look in any catalog. It's the price that's the problem Price is definitely the problem! As a student, in particular, Word is basically the same price as the entire Office suite! I'm not a …
  • Maybe I'm in the overwhelming minority here, but I think Microsoft Office for Mac is pretty decent. I have to run, but one feature of the MS Office: Mac 2004 (and previous versions, I believe) that Office for Windows doesn't have (AFAIK) is the "dri…
  • Really? That's interesting, I've had pretty good luck with that option enabled. I haven't done any real testing, though (haven't had a need to), but I know that some of the things I used to save to PDF were a lot larger than they are now since I ena…
  • Try this... Go to "Print". Click on the third menu down (usually says "Copies & Pages". Make it say "ColorSync". In "Quartz Filter" click on "Reduce File Size". Then go ahead and "Save as PDF". That should make your PDF files smaller.
  • Not being able to save web pages for later viewing is my biggest beef with Safari. I didn't even realize they were working to fix that in Safari 2.0! Great! Does anyone know of a solution in the mean-time? Third-party software perhaps? I don't wa…
  • Thanks for the information. I'll take a closer look at the Brenthaven case at my local Apple store sometime this week. I am really looking forward to this machine! Thanks again!
  • Is there not a "Window" menu in Excel itself? (Not in front of my Mac right now) Doesn't that show your six open Excel files and allow you to switch back and forth between them?
  • Quote: Originally posted by applenut Sorry but the fact that you are posting on a apple fan forum kind of negates every aspect of your argument. You use a mac for more reasons than design and performance. You just don't want to admit it. Of…

  • Quote: Originally posted by applenut No, I think they are getting their confidence, quirckiness, humor and friendliness back. It's a been a while and it's nice to see. It's what makes them great afterall. I disagree. What makes Apple great …
  • Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Apple is growing more "childish" by the day. A consuming focus on the iPod, apple ratings, etc. What's next, baby clothes? Or maybe baby food... Apple releases new "Baked Apples" baby food for immedia…
  • You're probably going to have that problem with anything that needs to run in a 4:3 (right?) resolution (1024x768, 1280x1024, etc.) since the iMac is a widescreen system. 1440x900 is widescreen not 4:3, if I remember correctly.
  • Amazing. 8 straight wins - postseason record. Coming back from 0-3 deficit - first time in MLB history. The biggest play of the postseason, in my opinion, was Dave Roberts' stolen base in Game 4 vs. the Yankees which got it all started. That …
  • Going to the Apple website made me think of fake, Photoshopped-up pictures that cover rumor forums all the time. Is that thing real? Very strange. I wish Apple would focus on computers as much as they focus on the "digital life." I see a new iPod on…
  • I picked Cardinals in 6 and I try to root for the NL whenever I can (Rockies fan; not like they're going to be there anytime soon!). However, the Red Sox are hard to root against! They pulled the greatest comeback in baseball history by winning 4 st…
