  • Yeah, it was just a concept model shown at CeBit. Not by Apple, of course, I don't remember who though. Clearly they were trying to be Apple-esque though. And pretty much failed.

  • Yes, but... ORDER DATE: 10/01/99 - 12:16 AM Pacific Standard Time ... The following products shipped on 12/04/1999. That was for a BTO 450MHz, which turned out to be the fastest available. Just a hair over two months. Looks like the 17"…
  • Blank. Like it should be. Alex
  • Ship times from the Apple Store for all three tower models, standard or BTO, is listed at "10 days". If there's no imminent update, there should be stock, and hence the standard models should show "1-2 days". That, combined with the Jan 31 displa…

  • Nope, don't like it. Alex
  • I like Mail.app, but its filters aren't powerful enough for me. I use Eudora. Have for a long time. Have no problems with it. Will use Microsoft products only as a last resort. There you have it. Alex

  • Looking at the stuff on the Apple site, it seems to me that the Xserve RAID is actually two RAIDs in one box, 7 drives on each. If true, that really kind of sucks, and means that you can't do a RAID set larger than 7 drives or use a hot spare drive …
  • [quote]Originally posted by hmurchison: PowerMac Extreme!!! LOL, I think you're right, sadly. I like PowerMac 970, but that's just me. Or maybe it'll just be called the "Power Macintosh (Brushed Aluminium)" Hmm. Xserve looks stupi…

  • I got the "Shipped" email (which seems faster and more reliable than the web site) for my stock Dual at 6:46pm Pacific yesterday, and it's scheduled to be delivered today via FedEx ground. I got the email for my Cinema Display and accessories at …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Alexander: And that's all I feel like saying today. Oop, I lied. I've had lots of LCDs and lots of dead pixels. Even if I could send them back to get fixed, it wouldn't be worth the hassle. I don't see them unles…

  • All the sites on KidRed's site strike me as, well, kind of the same. I mean, they're very well done, but they have that horrid "porn site aesthetic". It'd be kind of like designing laundry detergent boxes all the time. Mind you, my own little unr…
