  • Yeah, either or. I figured external would be easier. Either way, I'd still get rid of WinMe.
    in CD burner suggestions (for WinME) Comment by patchouli November 2002
  • All joking aside, I'd get them WinXP Home first ($89 upgrade). WinMe is a horror and not worth the inevitable aggravation. I'd do a clean install, refresh their drivers (XP will load most and sometimes all of them), run Windows Update, then get th…

  • Well, I've been looking to replace my computers and waiting for the right time. I think the new TiBook is more than enough for my Mac needs and finally at a decent price. So I decided to pick up a new TiBook as well. I got the 1GHz, 1GB RAM, …

  • HP doesn't even make their own PDAs, so even if they liked Dell - they wouldn't be supplying them. I think it's great that Dell is coming into this market with competitive pricing. This will FORCE the other manufactures to cut prices and narro…
    in Dell's Handheld Comment by patchouli November 2002
  • It's not really an all-in-one. This is not Dell's answer to the iMac. It's a mini PC with the option to connect the LCD to the body via separate parts. It's designed for businesses who are looking to save desktop room while utilizing drive bays f…
    in Dell's Ugly As Sin All-In-One... Comment by patchouli November 2002
  • If the user wants to use SpeedStep to save battery life (while unplugged), even the intermittent lower clock speeds of this processor are hundred of MHz faster than anything Apple is offering, so what's the point of this really? [ 11-04-2002: Mes…
    in Was that a 2.2GHz laptop or a 1.1GHz one? Comment by patchouli November 2002
  • Those folders and drives are just shortcuts in the start menu. Just an easy way to access all things in your computer from one area. There are no disk images. If you've got a drive connected to your PC, the icon for it is there - always. When yo…
    in Images of the Next Version of Windows Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • Rumors from the PC Geek mill seem to think that these pics are totally fake. WinBeta is currently down but there is a thread at that site which points out how and why these pics are very suspicious. Even if the pics are real, this version of Windo…

  • It looks like a cool player and the price/spec is definitely right. Why is using a notebook HD a bad thing? Aren't they a tad quicker? Or is it the size? As for design, it's better than their previous creations but I am not too thrilled with the…
    in iPod vs. Zen Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • I don't see anything wrong with these ads and I don't hate Microsoft because everyone else does. I use and enjoy some of their products so I just think of them as any other big company (which is all they are). I do wonder why they used such ugly…
    in New MS ads show Mac/PC unity Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • The new Dell PocketPC is ugly (from the leaked pics I've seen) and does not offer anything more than the existing competition. However, if they are priced better than the others, then they might do well. For the earlier comment, PocketPCs ARE mi…
    in DELL to enter the PDA market: Will they kill the competition? Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't want my PC to look like a Mac. It's not a Mac and I wouldn't want to hide or alter the features that I use and enjoy. I like the built in XP themes/options. They may not be gorgeous, but they are clean a…
    in Aqua for Windoze... I'm impressed Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • What the hell has that thing been through?! It's all scratched up!
    in Personalized iPods Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • There is nothing to configure on either a Mac or PC when it comes to wireless (or even wired ethernet for that matter). I have setup many Macs (OS X) and PCs (XP) using wireless connections and both have worked right out of the box. If it's 802.11…
    in I love my mac! Comment by patchouli October 2002
  • I've never had a virus with OS X. Then again, I've never had a virus on my PC either (8 years). I guess its because i don't open .exe file attachments from anyone as no one would have any reason to send them to me. My Outlook XP even blocks them …

  • Wow, some people have WAY too much time on their hands. Leave the poor girl alone already! Pick on one of the new guys now - how bout the one with the unibrow? Now THAT'S comedy.

  • [quote]Originally posted by Brad: Perhaps, but it's still worth noting that Apple was the one that conceived and developed , FireWire, in 1995 even though it didn't integrate FW onto motherboards until 1999. Actually, I believe Apple still gets a f…
    in Apple Did It First Comment by patchouli September 2002
  • But this is what I don't get. I know Macs can't be AS cheap as some PCs, but why can't they be cheaper? From the processors to the HDs, the internal components Apple uses ARE cheap! In the new iMac, they are using dated processors, 5400rpm HDs, d…
    in 2.6 and falling. Comment by patchouli September 2002
  • Hi thegelding, do be honest - I can't say that I prefer one over the other. I see the two as different worlds and love and hate many things about them both. I am not a possible switcher or use both platforms just for ha ha's. I just love technolo…
    in Mac Updating?!? Comment by patchouli September 2002
  • To update Windows XP you simply click a couple of buttons and the update process is automated and flawless - just like OS X. There is nothing extra to know, there is not any more buttons to click or more steps to take. Windows Update also gets…
