  • OS 9? No way. I admister 15 macs in our center and I would love to move them all to OS X. The problem is that many of the Macs are old 266 G3s and are too slow for OS X. Those must stay in OS 9 I am afraid. I run OS X with 640 MB Ram on a B/W G3 35…
    in People switching back to OS 9? Comment by anand December 2001
  • The point is not moot in that when faster computers come out you will want to buy them to run OS X fast. And then, a year latter when new computers come out you will want to buy them...and a year latter........

  • The one thing we must remember is that Be was an OS company. They sold the Be OS and it had to be fast. Apple is a hardware company. If OS X was just as fast on a 233 G3 as on a 867 G4 than why would anyone upgrade. Apple has to make you want to buy…

  • I am using OS X at work and have since the PB. I am in an academic enviroment and Macs still are use by a lot of academics. Office X is very important. In fact, the introduction of Office X will allow me to install 10.1 on all the rest of the Macs i…

  • Wow starfleetX , that looks amazing, is that available? I have been using Mozilla and love it. What is nice is that when you are downloading and minimize the window, all you have to do is place the mouse over the window and it will tell you how much…

  • Does Summoner work in OS X? Also, what is lineage and where can one get it for free?
    in Good osx RPG? Comment by anand February 2002
  • Wizardry 8. Wizardry was the greatest of all games back in the day. And it was first on the old Apple II. It would be great for this to come out for the Mac. I still feel that if Apple had made some compatability between the Apple II and the Mac…

  • I was in the same boat as you. I had 300+ slides from my parents that dated back to the 50's and 60's. I scanned them all in and made a DVD movie for them. I was going to buy a low end Nikon - which can be had for $500-$800 but in the end bought…

  • Crap, carp and more crap. The tibooks that we have had in the center have been the worst apple machines. I have had zero kernal panics on the emacs, zeron kernal panics on the G4 towers, and 20+ kernal panics on the tibooks. Every time you log out, …
    in Who else loves their TiBook? Comment by anand February 2003
  • Nick you are 100% right. Apple needs to compete in the sub $500 space. A $199 priced Lindows machine is not there competitiion. The $499 Dell is. There is no reason why the original G3 iMac does not sell for $499. With OS X it offers a great computi…
    in What will Apple produce to compete with this? Comment by anand February 2003
  • So why do you want to buy another computer? What do you want to do with it? Play games? Buy a Playstation 2. I still think that Apple makes better computers than the competition. PC are faster. A lot faster. A 700 Mhz emac/imac is equal to a 1.6 Ghz…
    in Help me avoid buying a Dell Comment by anand February 2003
  • Yes, a $399 mac will not make money. It does not need to. Apple does not make money on a $999 mac! Apple's profit come from the sales of its workstations (PowerMacs). Read my post, Apple must improve these so as to provide the profit to allow them t…
    in Why are iMacs and eMacs not selling better? Comment by anand February 2003
  • Mac Voyer don't you see what you are saying. Apple in not selling out its long term goals for the short term. Apple is a company that is in good finacial health. Apple would loose tons of money if they did what you want. A $999 mac with the best of …
    in Why are iMacs and eMacs not selling better? Comment by anand February 2003
  • Several factors killed the sales of the 15 inch FP. First, when people really wanted to buy them, there were none to be found. Then, Apple raised the price which stoped people from trying to buy them. $100 still means a lot to alot of people. Second…
    in Why are iMacs and eMacs not selling better? Comment by anand February 2003
  • "No one comes close to this pricepoint" You can get an eMac for 1299. The sony will be 899 with a monitor. I would still take the emac. No doubt about it.
    in This is one hell of a machine... Comment by anand February 2003
  • I think everyone will agree that the base iMac sucks. There is no way around that fact. Heck, the base emac sucks as well. It is disgracful that Apple still sell computer with only 128 MB ram (that barely runs its OS) and 5400 RPM HD. That is the sa…
    in New iMacs Comment by anand February 2003
  • Thanks Moki. I have used a wintel laptop before and thought much of the same thing. We had a Dell and it was close to 7.5 lbs. Battery life was short and it was not as fast as the numbers would indicate. Apple makes great laptops - heck Apple makes …

  • I have the isub/pro speaker set up and works well. They are not equal to the new creatures, but for $50 they are worth it. You won't believe how you listened to just the pro-speakers alone.

  • The new emac is great. I bought two for my lab and they are fantastic. The perfect replacement for the original iMac. I was also scared about the screen - everyone seemed to say it was pretty bad. In fact, it is really nice - and very bright and cr…

  • The old iMac looks data versus the other two. The new iMac is in a league of its own but the new eMac does not look that bad. Much better than the old iMac.
