  • Copland was Apple’s first attempt at a next generation OS and was meant to be released in 1996. Copland, and it’s successor Gershwin, were meant to offer modern OS features like preemptive multitasking, protected memory etc. However, Copland was …
    in What actually is BeOS, and what are the achievements thereof? Comment by roduk November 2002

    in Sick Addiction Comment by roduk November 2002
  • I think people must compare the eBay price with the Apple price when the machine was new ($3,499 for the 500 Mhz G4?), forgetting specs have gone up and prices have come down in the meantime (even Apple prices). I guess $1,326 would seem like a g…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Eugene: As previously stated. The computer is merely a slimline desktop. The configuration seen is just one possibility. It can be mounted vertically like a separate tower if you are using a CRT. It can be placed i…
    in Dell's Ugly As Sin All-In-One... Comment by roduk November 2002
  • That's a ridiculous design. I can imagine the Dell engineers discussing how to make an all-in-one, and someone coming up with the bright idea of simply bolting the monitor to the side of the base unit. [ 11-04-2002: Message edited by: RodUK ]
    in Dell's Ugly As Sin All-In-One... Comment by roduk November 2002
  • When I was studying for a computer science degree, most of the time actually spent at a computer was either when writing up course work on a Mac, or when programming in C, Pascal, Modula-2 etc under Unix. I would check to see whether your university…
    in PC vs Mac Comment by roduk November 2002
  • I believe web page incompatibility is more associated with browsers than platforms. All the common browsers are available for the Mac, so it shouldn't be a problem. Windows Media player and Real One player are also available for the Mac free of ch…

  • M3D Jack, I'm concerned about the affect your girlfriend is having on you. You'll be selling your heart and soul next.

  • Looks better from that angle, especially if the ports are covered by a flap. Not sure about the scratch on the top though.
    in Porche/Best Buy go after Titanium sales Comment by roduk October 2002
  • It looks too fussy for my liking. I think it's the stickers near the keyboard and the jacks and lights on the front edge. Only small things, but they make it look cluttered.
    in Porche/Best Buy go after Titanium sales Comment by roduk October 2002
  • Like madmax I thoroughly recommend Crucial for RAM. I believe they manufacture it themselves and probably know just as much, if not more about memory than Apple (they may even supply Apple). You can buy even cheaper no brand memory, but the prices a…
    in Apple RAM vs. "other" RAM... Comment by roduk October 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Belle: Last year, Dell's R&D budget was $452 million on net sales of $31,168 million. That's about 1.5%. Apple's R&D budget was $430 million on net sales of $5,363 million. That's about 8%. I wonder whe…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Andor: I was told these were LCD displays, it doesn't sound like it though. I expect you're right, viewable area normally refers to CRTs. I'd check the condition, perhaps people don't look after lease computers in…

  • [quote]Originally posted by murbot: HA HA... was just thinking of that "you know you're a Mac addict when..." thread. My wife is due again in a month, and I can just see myself blurting out, after 30 hours of labor "just reboot her and hold down th…

  • [quote]Originally posted by murbot: I'll sell you mine for $20. They're a decent size - you can fit a kid in it. Does the kid come with it for $20? I'd pay $20 for it with the kid, $50 without.

  • Pinched off the web: Dirt and finger prints can cause the computer screen to be difficult to read. Procedure: Unlike a computer monitor the LCD is not made of glass therefore requires special cleaning procedures. When cleaning the LCD scre…
    in Holy Friggin' Christ: Gashes in my TiBook's screen (YAY, PROBLEM SOLVED!) :-D Comment by roduk October 2002
  • If I were you I'd be spending the day in a huff followed by a sleepless night... Titanium is stronger than steel, but it's also more flexible. I guess the keyboard is seated correctly? [ 10-24-2002: Message edited by: RodUK ]
