  • ADBE Two years ago this would have been inconceivable given the relative sizes (AAPL $5b; ADBE $8b) - today it's AAPL $26b; ADBE $13b With over $5b on the balance sheet, a combination stock/cash deal is quite possible. Now for the corporate…
    in If Apple was to spend a chunk of their cash on a company, who should they buy? Comment by mccrab January 2005
  • iChat is noticeably absent from the discussion. What better way for Apple to get additional free marketing than to have a bunch of Macheads video conferencing with a bunch of Windows users with a great Apple video conferencing solution?
    in Next iApp to be ported to Windows? Comment by mccrab November 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by iMe Yes exactly. I saw the 15-inch PowerBook compared to the 12-inch iBook and the PB looks amazing with its wide screen. I vote for the 15" PB - and get 1GB of RAM and the 7,200 RPM drive. You won't be disappoi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph I doubt that will happen any time soon. Apple Corps have come right out and said that they like things as they are, because every time Apple Computer does something music-related, they can sue for more money. Th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Jwink3101 To turn the tables. I wonder is MSFT will ever do a hostile takeover of Apple. I can't see this happen - the anti-trust lawyers would have a field day and Microsoft needs some viable competition to keep it…

  • Quote: Originally posted by imacFP The current display pricing is a major problem, especially without a lower priced 17" display. Even this new SP G5 isn't a good deal unless you have your own display. Strongly agree with you on this. Anyone …

    in Mwsf 2005 Comment by mccrab October 2004
  • I hope Apple puts this headless debate out of its misery once and for all by: (1) taking the existing PowerMac's even further up the curve (new case (modular design) dual MP, dual optical, 4 HDD bays, 5 or 6 expansion slots) - prices starting at …

  • Quote: Originally posted by dferigmu About the HD, how fast do you think 80 GB would fill up? If you plan to be a serious user of the iLife suite, 80GB will fill up fairly quickly. Here are a few rules of thumb: iTunes - 1,000 songs - 5 G…
    in I've decided to buy an iMac. How should I configure it? Comment by mccrab October 2004
  • Assuming that this will need to last you 3-4 years, I would get at least 512MB RAM (preferrably 1GB) and the 160GB hard drive (or the 250GB - even better). I remain to be convinced that BT mouse and keyboard is a good idea and have a preference for…

  • Quote: Originally posted by SpcMs To be honest (and somewhat off topic), it is my experience that Macs require clean installs of the OS much more often than PCs do. Sure PCs pile up the crap at a disturbing rate, but somehow they continue to work…

  • Quote: Originally posted by NOFEER so how does ibm do the x40 is a slot load thicker than a tray load It doesn't. To use an optical on the X40 would require an external solution or a docking station. Apple's PowerBooks are probably the be…
    in Powerbook Ultraportable? Comment by mccrab September 2004
  • I have four Lacie drives (250GB each) and have found them to be very good and reliable. I would get the FW and USB2 interfaces just in case you use the drive in future in PC Land. To use iTunes, simply set up the music library on the external dr…
    in Purchasing Advice: Lacie External Hard Drives Comment by mccrab September 2004
  • Looks very good but I wonder if it offers the same flexibility as the building blocks offered in traditional spreadsheets. In any event, the separation of logic/data/presentation in the worksheet seem like a significant step forward in the way thes…
    in Quantrix Modeler- What Excel should be Comment by mccrab September 2004
  • In light of Apple's "supercomputer on desk... next??" advertising, perhaps it is considering further segmentation in the laptop line - keep the G4 range and offer a new form, very high end laptop - say a bigger 1.5" high case, high capacity battery …
