  • A friend of mine was drunk in a bar and "misplaced" his id/bank card. The next day a guy went to the bank and pretended to be him and tried to get the PIN number changed. The bank teller figured out what was going on and the police nabbed him. La…
  • I still have a "Mac OS 8 Tour" from 1996. It was an interactive movie showing off all the coolness of what Copland would be. I think I'll watch it again.
  • [quote]Originally posted by EmAn: I think Macintosh did that. After I let out that Macintosh was Fatboy, Jonathan asked what I was talking about since they had different IPs. Hrrrm... well how would you know that? Wait a second.... EmAn =…

  • Okay... I am a geek and have not had much success with girls. First off, biking will not help you with girls. Last summer I biked close to 5000 km in 35 days. Biking makes you thin(fit.... but thin). Guys are often interested in thin girls bu…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Aquatic: All you uptime snobs haven't installed Carracho/Carracho Server. Brad? It hard crashes OS X like nobody's business daily, sometimes twice in 10 minutes. Ouch. I'm getting Jaguar tomorrow, we'll see if that h…
  • hrrrm.... folks here don't like iCab? It is by far my favorite browser. I used to use iCab on an old 603e PPC computer. It would load pages in a fraction of the time Netscape took. Now under OS X it has been stable for long time. It is very r…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Yet Another Registration: Boo-hoo. Things aren't free on the internet anymore. Cry me a river. ting5 That was a hilarious FAQ. So I'm not going to pay 100 Mb a year for .Mac. I will miss it though. I was h…
  • Well... when Mac Halo is eventually released I'll be buying it, and it will be fun. However, I sure am disappointed that it will close to a 2 year delay between xbox and mac version. Am I to believe it took them 8 months just to find a developer to …
  • I have the new iMac and I love it. It just took a long time to get one. I use it for a bunch o stuff... programming, games... I have not encountered a situation where I thought it was slow. The machine is very quiet... I can sleep while it is on …
  • I think a lot of people were holding off purchasing a new computer because they knew from rumours that the LCD iMac was coming. So that is why the flat-panel iMac had a lot of pre-orders in the first 3 weeks... because people were actually waiting …
  • [quote]Originally posted by EmAn: I'll laugh if you get a dead one (and can't fix it). You might be disappointed EmAn. On the MacNN forums he posted that he cancelled his iMac order and is getting a DV Camera instead. (I didn't see any pos…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Thoth2: Mac's Girl, You are not alone. I killed mine the first day I had it too. I'm not even sure what I did either. I had Explorer, OmniWeb, Mail, and Myth III Myth 3 currently has a known problem. It will…
  • Well, I apologize for all the complaining posts I made about iMacs slow shipping to Canada. Our local apple specialist got their demo model today and 4 iMacs to sell. I was #5 on the list.... but luckily someone ahead of me cancelled so I got th…
  • I read a post of some fellow from Finland and Apple told him it would be 40 working days + 5 days shipping. When I read that I thought, that really sucks that is 9 weeks. But then I thought.... well wait a second... I am being told that mine may b…
  • I have seen several posts now of customers getting their iMacs in the UK. The apple specialist here still has no idea when they will get their demo model. Seeing how the iMacs go to Alaska first then shipped to the rest of the US, you would think …
