[quote]Originally posted by dividend: so many agree that apple hardware is not what is should be. however, we should recognise one other thing - when apple had better desktops and portables we did not see a floodgate of new customers. That's rig…

in Is anyone else fed up? Comment by ricain January 2002

I totally agree with what is being said here. There are 2 iMac owners in my family that have owned multiple Macs in the past, and they will be dropping Apple in 2002 for their next computer purchase (soon). I will probably follow them, after bein…

Lets face it, here. The CIA and the FBI have severely bungled this whole affair. And it cost lots of innocent lives. Don't believe for a second that the CIA had no idea about this plot. We will never know how much they were onto, but Egyptian …

It is not just France, by the way, you guys. The French foreign minister expressed the general feeling of the entire civilized world's leaders, and more importantly our best allies, in his criticisms.

in OSX on wintel Comment by ricain May 2002

Thanks to some of the above posters for their positive comments. The argument that OS X on Intel = Apple death, which seems to be taken as a foregoen conclusion by most people, to me is at the heart of the problem. If it is so simple, if lower co…

Try to connect to your iDisk with "Goliath" from Versiontracker. Then weep at how crappy Apple's iDisk implementation is.

MhZ is at this point the only solution to the Aqua sluggishness syndrome. Apple gave it all they had in 10.1 to increase speed. It only goes downhill from here as they add features/bloat. Quartz needs mHz and main memory bandwidth.
