  • Thanks for the information. They *say* they only want to be able to view them, but I don't know the reality of the situation [what clients say and what they mean are often different things]. I will check out vectorworks, and see if I can't do …

    in Great things to come from....APPLE - part 2 Comment by visigothe October 2003
  • also... something interesting. They advertise $.70 songs and lower "whole CD" downloads, but of the random simgles I saw, they range in price from .79 to .99!! Bunch of Clown Shoes Also notice their "cool" adverts you can download. Look fam…
    in iTunes Music Store Has Competition Comment by visigothe July 2003
  • Another thing with regards to the article... the engineers have officially stated that the 970 can have different "bus multipliers". This is a very good thing, as we will be able to see the GHz increase at a steady rate, even if the companion chip c…

    in Mac equivilent of Visio or CAD Comment by visigothe July 2003
  • I am still not quite convinced that the 970+ will have extra cache. I don't think the die shrink will allow for it [takes too much room on the die, and the expense of 90nm RAM would make it too expensive]. That said, I *do* think they will find a wa…
    in Links to differences between IBM 970 and 980? Comment by visigothe July 2003
  • While this comment doesn't totally fit to this topic, I really don't wish to start "YA970" thread... The 970 is here, and here for awhile. Don't expect the 980 [whatever it will be called] to arrive far after the POWER5 chip is up and running in …

  • Hey all. I got some additional information. The WWDC is the 23rd. I have now received information that Apple Store employees are to attend a mandatory meeting on the 22nd. This coupled with my previous information, tied to the PB64 information…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Bioflavonoid As soon as I can! But first, I have a question: Can I have a separate partition on my HD for Panther? That shouldn't be a problem, and as a matter of fact, I'd do just that. There is no telling what t…
    in Wwdc Comment by visigothe May 2003
  • Ok, check it... This is a rumour, but I am posting this here, as it's the most obvious location [and I hate starting new superfluous threads]. It comes down to this: I know someone who knows a guy doing the product brochures for Apple. I go…
