  • Talk to a network admin at a company that uses lots of PC's if he has any good computer user jokes. He'll have a million of them. There are litterally millions of these PC users that contribute to the numbers that get shoved in our faces all the…
    in Celebrities That Use Macs Comment by ccr65 April 2002
  • I think the usefulness of mentioning musicians and directors that use Macs is to make the point that there are more Macs being used for serious work than PC's. Think about it for a minute. All those Wintel PC's that are purchased for offices all ove…

  • [quote] What makes you think a PC is so unreliable? I don't know what you do on your PC but for anything demanding they are not reliable. I have extensive experience going back and forth from one OS to another on a daily basis. These are machine…

  • [quote] I don't know about you, but the more desktop I have with Flash, Dreamweaver, Interdev, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Outlook, Trillian, and half a dozen browsers, the better. Absolutely. I have a dual monitor setup but I would prefer…

  • The only CRT iMac left is under $1000 and it's not as popular as the new ones.

  • [quote] For the prices they're charging I would expect built in 3D apple branded acceleration graphic chips to boost OS, bandwidth, their i-apps strategy. For many a year the old Amiga had tech that blew away PCs for comparable or less prices. A…

  • Sheesh!! How many times does someone have to bring up the issue of total cast of ownership to some people!! Especially for a small business that would not have the kind of budget to have three or four people constantly fixing computers 40 hours a we…

  • I really think this is a game of leap frog at this point. Quicktime 6 is outstanding it's just too bad that MPEGLA has to be so greedy. I highly doubt Apple will fall behind for more than one product development cycle on video in general but the foc…

  • I don't know where you get that idea. As far as I have heard Darwin Streaming Server is considered a superior product by most professionals and the numbers on what player is most popular are definitely debatable. WMP in my opinion is vastly worse th…

  • I wouldn't be too worried about all this. The problem with being an inovator is that once you have made your big splash everyone else jumps in after you. Yes some of the video packages for Windows are getting pretty good but in real use they don…

  • I don't necessarily dispute your numbers but we are talking about Apple and about their "pro" towers if you want to play MP3's and surf the net then an iMac is perfect for you. That's the whole reason there is a consumer line and a pro line. Apple h…

  • [quote] there are a few high end applications that benefit, but at this point, hadware is accelerating much faster than software can take advantage of. I'm sorry but you don't know what you're talking about. just about every app that is used in …

  • There is an option to burn a CD that is like a PC drive with a drive letter. This will come up in OSX as an incompatable format. The advice to use 9660 is correct.

  • Doing landscapes in some of these apps may not be what you're looking for. Going to some of the 3D sites on the inernet like Renderosity might lead you to a solution. It depends on what is more important to you waiting for a render or the specialize…

  • That's digital video folks! It doesn't matter if you have a 2.2Ghz pentium or a dual Ghz PowerMac or an iBook. This stuff takes a long long long time. Processor speed is important but no desktop machine or laptop these days is the kind of realtime v…
    in Making a Vcd of my DV videos, does it have to suck? Comment by ccr65 March 2002
  • A windows computer will take a comparitively long time to encode the video as well. 55 min. will fit on a VCD. Use a CDRW disk if you go direct to disk. if you rip from a disk image you can get away with CD/R. This is a lot of number crunching. Unle…

  • This issue of the number and quality of software for Mac vs PC is silly. I have scoured the net in search of software for the PC to do some of the things that my Macintosh could do when I first got it out of the box and set it up. I know about the g…

  • Don't spend too much money on a PC with those requirements. The only thing on your list that pushes the machine at all would be video chat.
