A couple of questions of curiosity: 1) I think this was asked before but I didn't see any answer. Are the bugs associated with Mail attachements fixed? 2) How does fast user switching work when Classic is running, especially if multi-users ar…

To better convey my thoughts than my previous post: I'm not sure that DotMac is going to do for Apple what they are hoping for it to do. Yes, a number of those who live and breath Macintosh will pony up the $100 per year for this. The vast majo…

Whether this $99/year subscription service is good or bad for Apple, time will tell. However, it signals to me that Apple have given up trying to make money in the PC business. You'll all remember that Apple floated free iTools as a very good re…

John, thanks for all of that sharing of ideas. Here's a different kind of question that you may some opinion on: You've certainly heard about the two BeOS engineers who were instrumental in developing the Be file system, now working for Apple. Do…

John, if you're still lurking, I have a couple of questions: 1) Has the evolution of computing away from what I'll call a 'single user disconnected' mode and toward a 'multi user networked' mode been the real reason that Apple has gone from spat…

In a similar vein, maybe someone here can share their thoughts on my situation. I posted this question on MacNN but I find that there's little tangible response: "I'm putting a 20GB hard disk drive in an older tray-loading iMac which will have t…

[quote]Originally posted by Reid: Well, there seems to be a huge difference of opinion as to what is usable or not, in terms of speed. On my Bondi iMac (233/288MB), the Public Beta was very slow. But, I still used it. I also used 10.0. With 10.1, I…

Long time, no post. I don't have the slightest clue as to when we will see an overhauled PowerMac that sports the 970 chip. However, I will not be overly surprised if it's announced early in 2003. The potential reasons have been covered: Silen…

At the risk of typing something that everyone might know, wasn't there some kind of an agreement about a year or two ago between Motorola and AMD (Moto to contribute some RISC design expertise and AMD some fab expertise)? If true, could this be at …

Back to the iMac screen size question: Apple probably should discontinue the 15" screen in favor of all 17" screens with the possible addition of a larger screen on a select model in the future. If a consumer wants to save money by going with th…

I think the comments about a networked thin client for enterprise are very good. What I question is Apple's capability to make this viable and successful. There are two factors against which Apple must swim upstream: 1) This is a risky market c…

I believe that info came out of the MS trial some time back that indicated that non-pro Windows licenses were in the range of $50 (maybe a little more) to OEM's. Of course, I don't know how accurate those numbers are for today's computer market b…

I still come back to this question: Why did Apple release such a heavily reworked PowerMac line when it did when there really wasn't anything about the processor or logic board that necessitated this major change in cooling, etc.? Still, the o…

I think the 15" iMac should stay but the real problem with the machine needs to be addressed: Screen resolution. On an Apples-to-Apples basis, the 15" iMac has a screen that's only 1" smaller on diagonal than the 17" eMac. Especially since buyers …

I know the odds are against it but I would not be shocked if this new IBM shows up in a Macintosh much sooner than is speculated. What good reason was there for Apple to do a major overhaul of the PowerMac internals recently, focusing on a massiv…

Ed, do I really sound like "yet another person calling for Apple's demise"? I hope not since my next computer that I spend my own money on will be a Mac just like every other computer I've spent my own money on was a Mac. IMHO though, the "user …

Ed M., I guess I don't understand the point that I think you were making about Apple not being bad-off because the whole PC business is in such a bad state. If PC's really aren't selling as you suggested, then this is an even bigger indictment for …
