  • I for one was very happy when MS integrated IE into Windows. It's a great feature (being able to type in a web address in any open explorer/folder window). Netscape has always been the slower more buggy browser. Before IE, no one really knew …
  • [quote]Originally posted by EmAn: How is it fun?I think of it as the same way 'Aqua' is fun. It's cool to look at. Not the main reason for using OS X, put sort of a side perk. Same reason why we change our icons and wallpaper and such. Cert…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: I think some people really like to whine about visualizations. I don't get it. If I play a few tracks to listen to while working/surfing, I hardly want to stare zombie-like at a screen full of abstract visualiza…
  • Some of you find the Sony to be expensive? I don't understand? The Sony MX VAIO is $3399 (with everything, including the LCD, 20w + 20w FM Stereo Receiver, Powered Speakers, Digital Audio, TV Tuner, built-in MD Recorder/Player). A similarly c…

  • Logically speaking, I think there should only be one delete key on any keyboard. The delete key should always delete forward. Deleting backwards is for the backspace key. The backspace key lets you (backspace) while deleting anything in it's way.…
  • [quote]Originally posted by jimdad: Patchouli, which office apps are you talking about ? I have to use PCs at my school and gave up using Word after a decent attempt of about two months because it was taking me almost half an hour trying to remove …
  • Sounds like a great PC! Have fun with it. XP is a great OS. My PC hasn't bombed once since the day i installed it (7 moths ago - an upgrade no less). Do you also find that Office Apps as well as internet browsing are just a better experience on …
  • Am I the only one who thinks OS X is not only easier than OS 9, but is more logical? Maybe it's because I was never a fan of the older Mac OS systems - I just think X is great and hoping it gets faster and less quirky with it's next update. Sure X…
  • If you've got the cash get yourself an AlienWare system. They use top quality components that you and I would go out and buy (not OEM stripped down versions) and they have the coolest color cases (with HUGE matching monitors as well as matching per…
  • I agree. Web browsing is just not as fast as it is on my PC (which is old). It's what I do most while on a computer and the 'user experience' on the Mac is just not a good one. I also don't understand why so many people knock IE for OS X. So f…
  • [quote]Originally posted by murbot: I don't have a link handy, but I've read in several threads at Ars that Dell has raised their LCD prices...No, they are at the same prices for quite some time now. As I posted earlier, A 15" LCD Dell display (po…
  • Many of you are missing the point and the reason why so many of us think that this increase is ridiculous. You're just talking about the $100 and about Apple making money. This is about the inferior parts that they have the balls to now charge MOR…
  • These new prices are insane. Only a $100 you may think, but don't forget that these prices were already too high. There is a difference between expensive and over-priced. The hardware in these funky little machines is dated. From the system bus,…
  • Hey thanks again! I am ordering the LinkSys router and the Airport card for the iMac as well. I am assuming that there is a place to pop in this PC card in the back of the iMac where the RAM is installed?
  • Hey FotNS, thanks for the link! I am a bit confused though. If I hook up that LinkSys router to my PC/Cable modem in the first room, how to I get my iMac in the second room to receive the cable connection? What device (if one exists) do I nee…
  • That is an amazing album and 'Air' is an amazing band (they are French). That album is pretty old. You should check out their other stuff as well. Another excellent and somewhat heady band (or group) is Royksopp. Check out their 'Melody Am' …
  • [quote]Originally posted by torifile: There's no reason to format the HD just to get rid of classic. Just delete your system folder from your hard drive after you start it up. Are you sure you want to do this, though? Classic takes no resources fro…
  • Thanks everyone for your replies. You've all helped very much. It figures that MS would consider Office XP and Office X as two different programs (even though they really shouldn't since an upgrade is supposed to be for existing Office customers o…
