Quote: Originally posted by xflare Apple really should have made it clearer what this is going to mean for owners of current PPC Macs and anyone who buys one between now and the transition date. I think everything will be fine though Actu…

Lemme just say plain and simply, the movie is not a remade pilot episode. Instead of trying to introduce all the characters, the movie hints at certain things and hopes the audience gets it. For instance, there are only a couple subtle references…

Apple has become so powerful that they have extended the month of June to become a 'Quarter'... All hail the might Apple and their ability modify time itself.

Just to brag... I will be seeing Serenity tonight for the second time. It is a bit of a "rough cut" but a fun movie, and everyone should see it when it is released in September. Also... It isn't a movie version of the original pilot. In fact, …

Dont get me wrong... I loved the cookie... it was perfect.

I think Skatman is just trying to provide some balance to the fanboy influence that pervades these types of discussions. I find myself guilty of it sometimes. In fact, I was talking about my new iMac to someone in my cubicle and the person (deve…

Another oddity about when I spoke to Apple on the phone is that the Customer Care person insisted that I had a BTO order. This was after I asked if I would be able to cancel my order if I saw an iMac sitting in my local Apple store. His response w…

Ok, I just got off the phone, and sounds like "Ships Same Business Day" translates in Apple-speak to "Ships in Eight Days". That sure is one-long-day... I would hate to be an Apple employee, only getting paid 1/8 what they work . This means it will…

Quote: (Wishing I hadn't sold my PC already...) Just to clarify... I mean, I wish I had waited a little longer before selling the PC, not that I shouldn't have sold the PC to get an iMac. I am still looking forward to the iMac, I just wish I d…

Like has been stated before, I think of the computer as a tool. Take a hammer, for instance, how useful would it be if you had to tweak it, adjust it, fiddle with it, before each strike of the nail head. It would get in the way of you driving that…

Quote: The shipping is always from time of actual shipment. Next day does not mean you will get in next day. That should be obvious and is stated on their order pages. Yup. And, I believe the person in this thread had stated that it has been "i…

So, just out of curiosity since this is the first Apple system I have purchased online from them: Is it commonplace for them to state that they will ship a product "Same Business Day" and have it sit in Processing Order status several days? This s…

Just ordered mine from the online Apple store last night. I tried to buy it from any of the 4 local Apple stores, but none had stock. Not that I have any particular disdain for PCs, but as of now i do not even have a single PC up and running at…

In fact, here is a pic from the Chestnut Hill mall on launch day. The Ad in question is on the right. Btw, I also saw another launch-day pic that had this same Ad, but I couldn't find it.

Is the 10% discount on everything common? Also, would that apply to Ed. Discount hardware? All of a sudden I feel the urge to buy a Mac mini. ... and a shuffle ... and an iMac... LOL

"Hallelujah. You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ." Thanks, I am sure it will be of great help to everyone!!

If any of the experience OSX upgraders want to share their infinite wisdom and maybe post a HOWTO for a Panther->Tiger upgrade (backup, clean install) that would be great for those of us who have yet to perform one of these. I am still fairly ne…
