  • As did I.
  • You sure can, but you'll need one of these babies: http://www.apple.com/displays/adapter.html I have one, and my studio display looks dandy on my PC. Granted, this is assuming your video card has a DVI input.
  • Doesn't Mac OS X have all those FTP and Apache doo-dads that allow you to host stuff directly from your hard disk like all the Linux cool kids do?
  • Why are they keeping the PC's? I just can't see the logic in that, assuming they aren't H4RDC0R3 gamers. Why struggle in two environments when a single, beautifully streamlined one can handle anything and everything?
  • The FireWire port actually functioned as a LAN for some games, like Unreal Tournament and Gran Turismo. You could play console-to-console (-to-console-to-console) style, and each player could have his own TV, quite similarly to how the Xbox uses sys…
  • Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut You know, urine is sterile. I remember hearing stories about how Iraqi soldiers (in Desert Storm) would drink their own urine because of a lack of water in the desert. Reminds me of Waterworld...
  • I don't plan on buying another Mac for about four years. There isn't much this 800MHz PowerBook isn't capable of doing. It's lightweight, wireless, and it does its job. I will, however, continue to transform / build my ever-changing PC, for game-…
  • Don't get an eMac. It's the biggest waste of money in Apple's lineup at this point, now that they've purged themselves of the old iMacs. If you're going to go with one $999 Mac, get an iBook instead. The only Macs that hold a candle to their PC c…
  • I don't believe there was a 1MB cache on the 500MHz G4 (I may be wrong, though). The 800MHz G3 is a mobile chip. It's designed to be as power-efficient as humanly possible. The G4, ESPECIALLY the old 500's (before Motorola really started trying t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Luca Rescigno I'd say go for the G4. I don't think there's much performance difference just in general use (Finder, iChat, Mail, browsing, iTunes) between a 500 MHz G4 and an 800 MHz G3. My 800 MHz iBook is usually abo…
  • Well, a new version of MSN Messenger was just released a few days ago, so the other two can't be far behind...
  • I've actually had Jaguar encounter quite a few kernel panics in my time. I'd say at least ten since I installed it last August. Which isn't bad. But OS X has other really strange things, like entire applications inexplicably freezing for a half-minu…
  • This is GOOD news. We'll be getting the tasty tid-bits a month earlier at WWDC, and Apple won't have to blow a cool million or two to tell us about it.
  • Of course it is a good deal. I can't believe you guys are acting like dual 1.42GHz G4's don't kick an incredible amount of ass. At the previous pricepoints, I might've been put off, but 25% off $2699 is not a bad deal at all. I don't think there is …
  • My magnum opus is BROKEN! NOOO! Damn vB. Burn in hell, PHP...
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kecksy Umm, iBlog already exists, and it works exactly as you described. Great program. I use it to publish my blog. If you don't have a .Mac account, iBlog also works with FTP. I just hope these guys aren't Watsoned. …
  • You know what would be REALLY nice, is if they had a way, maybe in Panther, to sort of have your .mac URL automatically redirect to the site you've created on your hard disk in your Home's "Sites" folder, so that you have practically unlimited hosti…
  • Brad is testing a pre-release version of Mail!
  • Quote: Originally posted by Overhope Well, it is aimed at Joe Schmoe who hasn't got the first idea about how to write any HTML, and I often used it to bang out picture galleries when I can't be bothered to expend any mental effort on the process.…
  • They need to add some form of blogging. The current interface for creating a homepage is pretty much a joke. They need another iApp that allows you to make quick, dated updates in the same colors as your calendars, so they'll automatically be marked…
