Don't you guys remember when the DOS-heads spent all their time deriding the Mac's GUI?? "Who needs a MOUSE?" -- "Kid stuff!" Well, until Win 3.1, anyway. Same old, same old.

OK. If someone gave you , say, 18 grand and told you to buy a car that could go from A to B at the speed limit all day, and you could keep the change, you'd end up with... a Kia? That Beemer's just too fancy, man. You don't need it. The Honda is all…

The wire to the hard drive heat sensor broke in my G5 iMac. OH WAIT!! I broke it myself while installing a bigger HD. Never mind....

If someone gave you 15 grand and told you to buy a car and you could keep whatever was left over, you'd probably buy a Kia and not a BMW. Small minds develop small ideas. D'oh.

The Rowling Harry Potter case sheds a lot on light on copyright law. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/158...415/id_0.jhtml Rowling won.

OK, I'm nuts, but if OSX could run on any manufacturer's PC natively, in a few years MS could easily be out of the OS business.

Last year, my 2 granddaughters, my son and his wife, my sister and brother-in-law all switched to Macs on their own -- no prodding from me. My oldest daughter has announced her intention to switch in 2009. Market share be damned -- my own blog shows…

Maybe it wasn't such a great idea for Microsoft to hire the same people running McCain's campaign. Sarah Palin in the nude couldn't convince me to switch to a PC. The last of my family has finally switched to Mac. One at a time, one at a time.…

I'd like them to fix the amount of time it takes to run "repair permissions" in 10.5.5. Maybe they did -- I haven't tried to run it yet. Between Tiger and Leopard (on my G5 iMac with max ram), it went from 5 minutes or so to 30 or more!

70 next month. I don't get the commercial at all. And I'll never switch to MS. And I never watched Seinfeld. OMG I'm going to die soon without ever enjoying the joys of a MS OS!! And I hate Apple for making Mail so incredibly hard to set up (I'm…

Maybe they can use it on the Zune.

Well, my 15 year-old granddaughter saved up and bought a MB. Her 18 yr-old sister's Dell just crashed. Again. Her dad and I promised her a MBP to take to college. My son has absolutely committed himself to a new Mac when he replaces HIS Dell. I'…
