The iMac in some ways reminds me of the first Macintosh. That first Mac was meant to be a closed unit. Something that was remarkable for its time, and that did many things for the user, empowering him or her. The iLife applications and the Mac OS …

Quote: Originally posted by addabox Come on, fellas, get into the spirit of the thing. "Mac Book" is clearly intended to by pronounced like "MacBeth", with a bit of a roguish brogue. Try it: make the "c" in "Mac" a little guttural and then sho…

I agree with cosmonut, and with kolchak. Mac iBook and Mac PowerBook are good names. It is true that Mac iBook is a little awkward, but less so than Mac Book Pro. There are too many hard sounds in the new name, it is too staccato. Unless one…

Quote: Originally posted by Mr. H Thanks for the links, aegis. Seems like 2.33 GHz is not actually available yet, though. Also, I believe that the higher-clocked PC laptops are thicker. They may have smaller footprints, but in terms of heat dissi…

I remember Power Computing. "Let's kick intel's ass." I did not like their names all that well. About the 'pro' part of a name, I am indifferent. I agree, there are names that have it, that are unwieldy, or awkward. It just indicates a mor…

Apples to apples tests, that is good. Yes, that is what we wait for, is more tests. I love Apple's goods, I am not knocking too much, and I know that the announcements say 'up to', and are for pr. It just seemed a bit much. But intel and Apple sho…

Mac Book Pro is a mouthful. I was more interested in what it could do, so it surely is good to see an advance come to the Mac World. But I rather hope they change it when they get to the next line of processors. Apple, I hope you find another …

Big plans here. music players, video players, pdas, gaming machines, (i)phones, and electronic notepads....(hmm) and the software pertaining thereto these and more. And this Mobile Me will include computer systems and networks, and prog…

I read those pages yesterday, but not the SPEC's site, so I went there. But thanks for the reference anyway. You know, I do have a fair amount of trust in Apple's judgment about what Apple is doing. Now about their performance claims, I alw…

When I first saw the Pro books details I wondered at the speed of the cpus chosen, as aegis design first commented upon. It must have to do with cooling. It is a little thinner, about 10% thinner, so this is why you would think about cooling. Bein…

It is gratifying to see a new Mac power(ful) Book. I don't mind the new name, but I like PowerBook. Perhaps there still can be a PowerBook, when the Merom cpu arrives. I suppose that may be wishful thinking. You have to wonder why there is the o…

LightRoom is one Adobe app that I will think about purchasing. At least, some night, I will download it. It is nice to see them come out with it for the Mac first, even if it is a 'beta'. A clever way to keep the fishes on the line. I too ho…

Sending a virus...I don't know how I would send one. I don't know if what occurred to me is what anyone would define as a virus, but it certainly caught on in my Mac, right after I opened the letter in Word. Other friends of hers told her that the…

Thanks for that link to the ClamXav. I agree, it would be a plus to get some free software.

The reason I have kept .mac is simply because of the host of people I would have to notify of an email change, business web site change, which wouldn't be that big a deal, but contacts would have to get used to it. I like the email service fas…

Hmm, iFM may soon be headed this way. That, or a radio shark for recording programming and then-putting on my iPod. Good point made here earlier by Telomar about the third party market, and cost compared to the audience requesting features. …
