  • DOES NOT!!!! Just in case you reply. "Does too!": DOES NOT, INFINITY!!!
    in Spider man sure looks juvenile Comment by spotbug May 2002
  • I know it's been mentioned lots of places and mentioning it here again is going to put me right smack at the top of The Big Dork List, but... It's "Spider-Man" Not "Spiderman". Or "Spider-man". Or "spiderman". Or "SpiderMan". Or "Spider Man". …

  • I thought it was awesome. I'm a Spidey fan, and I was expecting to be disappointed. I went to the 11 am matinee yesterday. No line. Just walked right in 10 minutes before the show. The theatre did end up pretty crowded, though. Don't go to see…

  • Who here realizes that science and religion have a lot in common? To the point where you could say science (our "knowledge" of the universe and how it works) is a religion. And, no, I'm not religious. I'm agnostic.

  • It works on my iBook. Also, I think it's just 'T', not 'command-T'. I don't know if that would make a difference (don't feel like restarting to check).

    in Anyone get the OS X 10.2 "shipped" e-mail yet? Comment by spotbug August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by murk: Ack! Almost a month after me, and I am still being assembled. Yup, it makes absolutely NO sense to pre-order earlier from Apple. Either there is no correlation between when you order and when you receive the ite…

  • Apple is extremely bad at rewarding (or even treating fairly) those of their customers that pre-order their products. Every time I've fallen into their pre-order trap, I've come to discover that I could easily have waited until the very last second …
    in Free Jaguar T-Shirt? Comment by spotbug August 2002

  • [quote]Originally posted by CoolHandPete: Will I have to erase my hard drive since I ordered the Up-to-Date OS X? That totally sucks!! I want to do a Clean Install, goddamnit! Um... I think you have it backwards. A "Clean" install is an instal…

  • I'm going to bury this here in this thread because I think the "powers that be" at AI might not appreciate a completely out in the open thread about this. I believe Apple cracked-down kinda hard last time and I don't want to stir up trouble. If y…

  • Ok, so I got it at about 11am this morning. Bummer is, it's a special "Update" version. In order to use it, you have to have 10.1 installed. Ok, that's fine, I guess. It sucks when you want to re-install from scratch, though; having to instal…

  • AAAH!!! SHIPPED!! :eek: No email, but I just checked the Order Status page for the millionth time. Imagine my surprise... Shipped and, not only that, upgraded to Fed Ex Priority Overnight. Looks like I'll have it tomorrow! [ 08-23-2002: Me…

  • *bump* And, just to put this to rest... Would the first person meeting these two criteria please add a reply to this thread: 1. Ordered Jaguar through the Mac OS Up-To-Date program ($19.95, not including shipping and tax). 2. Order Statu…

  • [quote]Originally posted by agent302: Well, mine is a full copy. So they might be trying to get those out the door before the Up-to-Date orders. Which sucks for you, I'm sad to say. Yes, this is the whole point of this thread. I'm trying to de…

  • [quote]Originally posted by agent302: That's weird how yours says "Standard" for requested carrier. I selected the free shipping option, but mine says "Airborne". Maybe that's so I can definitely get it by Saturday! (I did preorder on 7/18) Wo…

  • Ok, it looks like a didn't make myself clear enough. I'm talking about the $20, up-to-date version here, people, not just any version of 10.2. You can't have ordered 10.2 through the up-to-date program on the 14th. That offer wasn't available until …
