  • Now there are reports around the web that the print issues of TIME w/ the Apple cover story went on sale this afternoon; apparently everything happened according to the normal schedules. I suppose it would make sense that Apple took a risk in ord…
  • This is a real disappointment - after all, much of the fun of Macworld is to watch the keynote and be surprised. Someone clearly screwed up; does this mean that TIME will never again have an exclusive preview from Apple? It is an awfully large ci…
  • "Just Kidding." Cheers, Mark.
  • markfromtheboard@netscape.net My, it's been a while since that account's seen use... A warm hello to everyone in AI-land. Here's to all of us still acting silly another three years from now! Seb, Seb, Seb. I'm coming to New York this summ…
  • Ha ha. I can't seem to leave this place alone. Needless to say I still feel rather proud of these forums - even though it's been so long since I looked after them. It feels nice to be able to do some good behind the scenes. Particularly sin…
  • You guys make me smile - cheers to all. [quote]I've always wondered, is this the same Mark of ChezMark? [quote]We all want to have your babies, Mark. Double [quote]W(ho)TF is Mark? x 200!!
  • Done.
  • Come to think of it, wasn't it Robo who was responsible for that 'mouse?' :eek:
  • I still chuckle when I think of that mouse/soapdish/satanic Play-Doh accessory AI wrote a report on a while back. Didn't that qualify as a hoax? Oh - and that time IP logging told us (too many usernames to list here) was really (more usernames he…
  • Ah...I love the smell of potential litigation in the air at AI. Simply delicious. :cool: I say that because, Synotic - if you ape Apple's store designs in the manner you suggest, a lawsuit would surely be the result. Fun, fun, fun, for every…
  • [quote]Let's just say my mother is an assistant principal (pretty good pay) and she considered being an apple store manager and didn't have to fear much of a pay cut IMO teachers and school staff are undervalued in North America; seldom are those…
  • [quote]Mark, that would be fair, but you don't make a claim such as profitability unless you're pretty sure of it. Take Amazon for example, they've been claiming near profitability for years, and nobody cares any more. Yes, Apple would lose cred…
  • As has already been said, the chain is still very new, and the retail sector as a whole is hurting. A loss is by no means unusual under the current circumstances. Also, it's not as though Apple couldn't afford to weather the downturn just a litt…
  • Omigod - there's an AI Expo?? When? Where? Who's doing the keynote?
  • [quote]Originally posted by Arakageeta: watermelons and cat? I love seeing old-timers still hanging around. Cheers.
  • Again? Alright...here's what's in the house now: Blue G3/450 "Flower Power" iMac/600 Color Classic PowerBook Duo 280 LC 475 eMate 300 Apple IIgs 286 PC K6/266 PC Cheers, Mark.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Jonathan: has someone been watching The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross? Make sure to make all your trees look like happy trees... I've never seen that program; maybe it doesn't air where I live. Being a painter m…
  • Hmm. Is there more information on the web about customizing i(ce)Books? If it turns out to be a relatively simple affair, I may be tempted to finally buy one - then paint it a beautiful deep cadmium yellow. /prepares for cries of outrage... …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Amorph: Why kidding, Mark? It was one of the most subversive things Apple has ever released. I cackled with glee when Steve unveiled the Flower Power iMac because I just knew that all the self-styled tech ghods whose …
