  • Even Billy Joel, the "Piano Man", knows how to play the guitar. At a keynote a couple of years back, Steve talked about being a "product guy". But you don't have to be an official techie to understand the language, implications and possibilities …
  • I know a part-timer at the Apple Store near me. They get pretty good discounts: 10% off any non-Apple hardware in the store. 1 25% off Apple hardware (CPU) per year and 3 15% offs. That's the same as any regular Apple employee.
  • We had an Apple IIe at home. I'm trying to remember the year, because at one point we got a mouse for it and played with "MousePaint" software. I swear this was long before 1984, when the first Mac came out, but my memory fails me. In any case, we h…
  • salmonstk, your movie crashed my PC, as have many other .mov files. What format is it in? The "games" one I've seen. It's *okay*. The guy complaining about .mac was pretty lame. scalz, your movie worked! Very cute, funny. "What's that other mo…
  • Disappointed? Are you kidding? Were you watching? Did you see all the new stuff they demoed? Bluetooth syncing with your cellphone! Auto-network sensing of printers! A calendar app that syncs with the iPod! I was amazed at all they showed. S…
  • Come on, guys. She's young. No way she's on drugs... it's just her look. Stop it already!
  • Rate it?! I can't even READ it! Interesting look.
  • Well, I added the "www" back in to my bookmark and it loaded fine. I have no understanding of why that made a difference, but it did.
  • I am just commenting (in a tangental way) on the rumor mongering that goes on for the next best nifty spiffy whatsit gadget. My thoughts run closer to yours than you realize.
  • I'm not, generally, this pessimistic. I just felt like stirring things up a bit this morning. Got so gung-ho, I originally posted this in the "Future Hardware" forum. I guess if I had postulated on an actual, specific, future hardware device, it wou…
  • Thanks Jamie. Lost my head.
  • I would ask Steve: How far along was the original iMac project when you rejoined the company in 97? Was it in full development or had it been discarded? Who can really take credit for its development?
  • How about the last MacWorld Boston, when Bill Gates' head appeared on screen!!!!! Was that '98?

  • The Apple Store near me has a good mix of people. Some are long time Mac users, some more recent, casual users. Some are designers and art directors, others are teachers. A few are experts on EVERYTHING Macintosh, most are good at one or two things.…
  • I'm responding to a few of you all at once here: What was true 2 months ago has now changed. Take my word for it, I am closely connected to the Retail Stores and they do NOW give you educational discounts. You must show a student ID or prove you …
  • Paul. Wait wait wait. The stores do not do CTO. You can up the RAM or ad an Airport card, but that is it. You can't configure the Mac like you can with the online store.
