MC5 do rock As for the games it is just not worth the effort for a company like EA. They are happy to sell their licenses off and let someone else do the conversion. I think the other side of it is that the company buying the license mostly wan…

Which imac are you talking about mooseman? As for Tink's argument that a cheper mac wouldn't take sales away from the towers.. That depends on what it is and when and if it comes out!!!! Not all the towers are in rendering farms, video editing…

It's not just price that stops people switching. If Apple matched the price of the cheapest PC with something that is comparable sure they would sell.. They would win some people over and sell lots to people that already have a mac. But still people…

The idea of a headless mac that is going to appeal to a broad range of users, is not going to work if you alienate half of the them by having no upgrade path or making Apple only connectors. Even the cheapest Dell has an upgrade path. How are y…

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2004/jan/14results.html have a look at the "data summary" PDF and look at the break down of sales. I know it could be improved on but atleast it is up from this time a year ago. Apple could release OSX for Intel…

Apple could try and recoup the profit margin they lose by not bundling any software with the low end machines and charging more for it as an option. If Apple had programs which everyone wanted to buy this idea of reducing prices might work really…

No weasling going on here.. Like I said if Apple did bring out these super cheap computers which had an AGP slot we would replace all of our ageing G4 350 - 550 machines in a flash. These new machines would still be a vast improvement on the o…

I agree that lots of people don't want an all in one machine and that the Towers price them out of the mac market. The one thing Apple doesn't want to do though is to lose the customers they already have willing to buy a high end machine to a cheape…

One very last thing. Apple could make a cheap home entertainment machine which could be powered by a G3 / G4 (or even modify the base of the 3rd gen imac) with a blue tooth control device. Reasonable sized drive and monitor and Tv output. Put a …

Hi Dave.. here goes with some more rambling. . The shared graphics card point was just an example of where Dell are cutting corners. True a cheap Dell meets lots of the requirements of a business machine. As I am afraid an imac or emac does …

Have a look at Dell's cheapest no frills computer and look at the features it is missing. OK it is a faster machine in terms of MHZ but it is missing things which come as standard with even the basic emac (firewire $50 more, Dell Optical Mouse $30 e…

One thing some of you seem to be missing out on is some of the basic hardware and software that comes with the mac. Gigabit Ethernet on most models A wireless network card slot Video Card that does not share Ram with the machine. Not one but t…

One thing I should also add is that we are just going to be installing OSX with Disk Images (semi configured but with all programs that we use installed). So we wont be able to archive and install in that way. Also do any of you know if there is…

Thanks for your responses. I guess you have all pretty much said what I think, which is nice . If any of you can think of examples of programs which are hard coded it would help my argument even more.. Thanks Again!

The reason for partitioning and seperating the user/home data is to make it easier to re-install a machine. My feeling is that we can also do this on a single partition by dragging the user/home folder to another folder or moving it to a firewir…

I'm gonna break the trend and say that I did have a problem as did one of my colleagues. This has more to do with updating from the 10.3.2 beta and not 10.3.1 I had the first 10.3.2 beta which worked great. Tried to put the 2nd one on and after t…
