  • One thing that bugs me is that you have to type in a password when you use fast user switching. They should allow auto log in for several accounts.

  • I found the problem. I got rid of Norton firewall and Fast User Switching now works fine.

  • Eugene's right. I don't think Apple would have done well as a PC clone maker and they didn't really have a viable OS that could run on intel back then. In the end two things hurt Apple. 1. IMB allowing MS to put their OS on anybodies box and 2. Appl…
    in Sculley Says Apple Should Have Switched to Intel Comment by imacfp October 2003
  • It's a shame Apple wasn't able to role out the Windows version with the Mac version. I'm sure they will make it as slick as the Mac version within the limits of a PC, but they may have lost some steam. Oh well.

  • I've always liked MacCentral, but I think other ones named are good too. AppleInsider is the best forum though.

  • A stop gap update. Sad there is no price drop. It would have been a pretty good update if they'd dropped the price $200 and made both models 17 inch. They should also put in 512 MB out of the box.

  • The SOHO was the most interesting you're right, but this line made you think too. "Microsoft Office "minus the crashes,"" Does that mean Apple is planning a MS Office replacement?

  • The truth is the Cube would not be needed as much if the iMac was designed with a video card you can remove. A 17" LCD is the biggest LCD screen most people can afford, so that isn't something you need to worry about. Instead of the Cube, Apple shou…

    in ARGH! Comment by imacfp January 2003
  • I think it helps make money in a few ways. 1. They get a cut from pictures and the books. 2. They get people to sign up to .Mac so they can post their pictures. 3. They get a cut from camera sales, which are easier to use with iPhoto. 4. T…
    in Is iPhoto making Apple any money? Comment by imacfp October 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by There is no g5: You are funny. Raising the specs AND lowering the price? The difference in the 17" LCD price vs. the 15" LCD price is probably north of $300, and you want the price to go DOWN? The iMac is the …

  • [quote]Originally posted by There is no g5: eMac == death of iMac ting5 Not if Apple puts a 17" LCD in the iMac drops the lowend model and ups the specs and hopefully drops the price by $100 things will be fine. The inventory problems ste…

    in Why Does Web Browsing STILL S*CK On the Mac? Comment by imacfp March 2002
  • Once I'm on-line I find that most pages load fast given that I have 56K. The problem though is getting on line. There is a lot of problems with OS X and Internet Connect. AOL sucks and Earthlink is not far behind.
    in Why Does Web Browsing STILL S*CK On the Mac? Comment by imacfp March 2002
  • Apple can never get 95% of the market and they don't need to. All they need is about 5% to 10% above what they have now. If they got more that would be great, but I don't see it happening. Apple needs to attract total newbies and PC users who are…
