  • Quote: Originally posted by speed_the_collapse By "switching tasks," do you mean Command-Tab? Sometimes, my dock gets screwy and I can't minimize windows, but Command-Tab still works. I'm running 10.4.4 on an iBook G3. Yes CMD-TAB.
  • I agree.. very worrisome report. MS makes it sound like they haven't had access to an Intel Mac system and that they only will when their iMac Intel or MacBook Pro ships... which is nuts! Also, a complete rewrite?? How about Virtual PC for Windows?…
  • Could this rumor actually apply to the MacBook Pro? I've seen at least one report of extremely fast boot up and application launches from somebody at the Expo.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean Well, it's out. You can get it here Installing it right now. awesome!!
  • Thanks for such a gentle reply Mac Doll ... I certainly didn't deserve one with the rather mean-sounding tone of my original posting. I am actually running Panther. IE is not an option: my bookmarks are in Safari and IE is way obsolete at this p…
  • Windows 2000 actually. Worked great. As for all the fancy things that OS X is doing, sure you have a point. But why should that come at the expense of actual user productivity? How can you or anybody accept that or be content with that as a daily us…
  • I am sorry but that is a completely bogus argument. It might be underpowered by PC standards, but not by any means by Mac standards, since toda's iBooks are still at a paltry 1.4 Ghz (G4 admittedly, but so what). Moreover I remember browsing on my …
  • What's most annoying about the errors in the Finder's CD copy is that it doesn't just skip over the problem files but interrupts the whole copying process for the remaining files. When there are ten or more such faulty files, you can imagine the tim…
  • Quote: Originally posted by vinney57 Silly boy. You are about 100% wrong I am afraid. Perhaps you should stop smoking dope. That seems a little uncalled for, doesn't it?
  • Quote: Originally posted by wilco sorry, typo (fixed).
  • Quote: Originally posted by kenaustus The question is then what will be released. Everything is up for grabs, except the PMs, and Apple is very capable of releasing anything from one to four lines. People tend to put the PB in the "pro" line, b…
  • Well we're talking about ThinkSecret and AppleInsider here, not macosrumors.. ThinkSecret does have a stellar track record after all, remarkably even more so after Apple started suing their a** off. Quote: Originally posted by BRussell [B]Rumo…
  • Actually, Justin, not to flame you or anything, but that wouldn't be Cartesian at all... that would just be irrational Quote: Originally posted by Justin Brandon - your thoughts echo the concerns I have about a disabled (or disabling) Windows…
  • Exactly Kim Kap Sol! That was my whole point in making the posting. In fact it's not just what you call "average users" who wouldn't want to dual-boot. People like me or you probably wouldn't want to do that too often either. simply because as you …
  • I guess another thing is the question of hardware support: will MS support Windows running on a Mactel, and will Apple use standard-enough components that Windows will just work out of the box or at least only require minor and readily available dri…
  • I just realized that my logic is somewhat flawed above: Microsoft will probably offer a VirtualPC+Windows bundle just like it does now, that will bring the cost of the combination of the two substantially down (Virtual PC for Mac with Windows XP Pro…
  • if the mac mini is anything like my ibook, i am afraid that behavior is normal and tends to happen after the CPU has been under high load for an extended period of time (say mid-stream during DVD playback on my G3 ibook). I agree that it is extreme…
  • I suggest the people acting all defensive in this thread calm down a bit. You guys are doing Mac user a disfavor by making us all look bad in the eyes of all these new switchers which will be coming to this board with questions and issues about thei…
  • wow I certainly don't see myself as a conservative, but that documentary is incredible! Even if 10% of it is true, American colleges have a big problem...
