  • IE has yet to bomb on my iMac! I use it everyday with many other programs running in the background and not one crash or error. It's also a bit faster and more stable than OmniWeb, Opera and Netscape (which have ALL bombed out on me and take their…
    in IE sudden quit Comment by patchouli April 2002
  • I am a big fan of AfterDark! I had it on all my Macs and PCs. I have every version ever released. I was pissed when Berkely Systems sold to Sierra who just pushed the business to the back and just started to re-bundle everything. Then when Windo…

  • So, you get better system performance with he dock at the bottom and fully expanded? During this test, was this after a re-boot to make sure that any program you might have used prior was not still in memory? My Entourage also takes 4 seco…

    in What's the word on Office X? Comment by patchouli March 2002
  • MS Office X is good suite of office apps. Sure, it could be better, but it runs circles around the competition. Office XP for Windows is much better with more features (and has excellent integration with Windows XP ? which the DoJ can?t seem to un…

    in My New17" iMac is on its way HA,HA,HA Comment by patchouli February 2003
  • Well, I have one and again, it's very quiet. Perhaps my PC case is quieter than others which is why I simply can not hear the fan. I have a new Dell and their clamshell PCs are very quiet. Since I have a very quiet tower case, HD, CPU fan and Pow…

  • [quote]Originally posted by tonton: Tanks, patchouli. Unfortunately, the Apple online store still lists this one: M8244G/B It looks like this is probably the lower capacity version used in the old 800's. Yes, it seems that they are still …

    in New TiBook Battery Comment by patchouli December 2002
  • Well, I got my new 1GHz TiBook a few days ago and I love it. I got the 1GHz model with 1GB RAM, 60GB HD, 64MB Radeon 9000, and the Combo Drive (I'll get a SuperDrive when they are a bit faster - in my next computer). Even though it's not the Super…

    in Dual 1.25 vs Dell 3 Ghz Comment by patchouli November 2002
  • Configure it any way you want, at the end of the day the Dell gives more features and bang for the buck (if you use XP). These are the configs that they used and they are talking price versus performance. To nit-pick that is just ridiculous. Can …
    in Dual 1.25 vs Dell 3 Ghz Comment by patchouli November 2002
  • The price they quoted on this site is indeed correct (AND it includes a 3 year ONSITE next day service warranty). This is the configuration they used for those tests (imagine the scores had they used the ATI 128MB 9700?): $2,942.00 Dell Preci…

  • I think Apple's pricing definitely makes more sense and I am very glad that they are more competitive (in terms of price). I don't think anyone should be suspicious as to why the prices are lower. The prices NEEDED to be lower and were NOT justifi…
