People will always be clamouring for more performance. When the computer finally basic tasks (not a single calculation) faster than 10 milliseconds then we will clamour less cos we won't know if its slow or not (a blink takes about 50 milliseconds)…

I predict it will be the Pope and the new one or a variation. A tad more important than some gadget. Dobby.

I read the new Dell 20" is meant to be a really good. If you just compare the specs agains say the 20" Apple LCD it does make you wonder if the Aluminium casing costs considering the Dell has better specs. Haven't seen results or comparisson on re…

It could also be that you simply have a dodgy DVD/CD player. If you had a spare USB or Firewire drive handy you could confirm this. Are you able to burn your movies to CD/DVD and try them on a Mac elsewhere like a mac store? Dobby.

You need a B&W G3 or upward and min of 256MB ram and 2 GB disk (less if you don't wan the BSD stuff and I never have fonts or printer drivers). I've never seen it run of a G3 toilet seat but it should also work. I've got a nuber of old 300Mh…

Completely irrelevant to the question. Does anyone remember the -NXHost 1.2.3.4 qualifier on OpenStep. You could start an app from any machine on any machine. Not that it was useful mind you. dobby.

I'm all for Apple releasing new versions of its OS every couple of years, as most vendors do. I've got an old Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 on a G4 450 that still serves as a NFS server for some archive data. I've also got an old Alpha running OpenVMS 6…
