  • Owning a PowerBook, I definitely see mobility as the best reason to have one. But it is also nice to have a really small system that doesn't take up much room compared to a tower... When I use my PowerBook in my room I plug it into a 17" CRT, USB Hu…

  • Quote: Originally posted by jade Unit sales are only up 5% year over year, compared with 12-15% growth on the PC side. Apple reduced channel inventory. Apple is focused on increasing revenue, and is not concerned with marketshare growth. App…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Mac Voyer OK folks, I'm prepared for the flames. Clearly, I'm missing something. This is a typical Apple update, which is to say, nothing to write home about. It is the smallest processor update they could manage. …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Eugene Was OS 9's mouse acceleration linear? I know it felt different (arguably better), but I don't think it was linear. It didn't feel like Windows. Ok, maybe it wasn't linear, but I always thought it felt bett…
  • Wow, I didn't realize so many people disagreed with me. I guess I've just never really given OS X's acceleration a shot. I'm so used to the OS 9/Windows linear acceleration that OS X's feels so awkward. As soon as I try it for like 5 minutes, I end …
  • This is one of the main things that bug me about OS X. OS 9 didn't have weird acceleration like this, why did Apple decide to put it in? The Windows/OS 9 "linear" acceleration feels so much more natural, I don't understand why someone would want it …
  • What it comes down to is price/performance. Without that ratio, they won't sell many machines and marketshare will continue to stay stagnant. I think I read somewhere that half of all PCs are being sold at less that $600 in the USA. Apple is incapab…
  • I use AquaExtreme because it fixes little quirks with the Aqua GUI and makes it look better IMO. It's hardly different from Aqua, but if you notice the subtle differences, you really appreciate them. Oh, and I use ThemeChanger 0.6.1
  • You'd think that with all these Apple Stores in the US, their marketshare would be increasing.

  • Yeah, it's true that interface inconsistencies are all over OS X. The Finder is a prime example of this. Here's a few inconcistencies that really irk me: - The Finder and Mail should have alternating background colors (white/blue like in iTunes, …
  • Is it just me, or is that huge logo of the AOL guy holding and iPod on Apple's front page look really poorly and cheaply done?

  • Just move the slider forward.. it's better than holding down FF IMO.
  • I really just need resumable downloads.
  • The mouse speed/acceleration in OS X is still really horrible. It's just too unnatural. Of course, you can use 3rd party software to tweak the acceleration, but the built in acceleration is just plain bad and should be made better.. like it was in O…
  • I have a beige G3 with a USB PCI card. I have 10.2.6 running on it just fine... but I haven't tried installing Panther yet... will it work?
  • Is BOMArchiveHelper better than using Stuffit Expander?
