  • I liked the older Camino Aqua interface. It could use some work. Recent nightly builds have had either the ugly Safari rip-off or the "green" UI that a previous poster mentioned. I hope they can use the old "Aqua" style to make another understa…

  • Yet another attempt to stretch the definition of 'confirmed.' oh, and IBL.

  • Sam, that's some might interesting speculation. Have you seen or heard anything about GVG's plans with regards to ParkerVision?

    in Apple's biggest problem Comment by gizzmonic April 2004
  • It does do tricks...like it fits perfectly between a couple of mammoth Pentium II-based Compaq servers. It's gonna be doing light duty web, database, and streaming media services on our intranet...plus and Mac-related IT stuff (creating/serving n…
    in Xserve G5 has arrived! Comment by gizzmonic April 2004
  • Thanks Torifile! WithMP3, while Engrish-heavy, looks like a great choice. And ipodandimac, or whatever your name is, thanks for not restraining yourself and going with the smug, obvious answer. You represent the Mac community so well!
    in Good MP3 player for PocketPC? Comment by gizzmonic March 2004
  • I installed it on my sister's machine too (iBook G4, from Oct '03). Works great.

  • Originally posted by JLL Connecting a DVI monitor to ADC only requires the right cable - it's the other way around that's expensive since you also need the power supply. Who sells "the right cable" and how much does it cost? Why doesn't Appl…
    in Why Apple WhY! Evil ADC! Comment by gizzmonic March 2004
  • I'm a dual monitor user. ADC forces me to use Apple's overpriced LCD monitors or pay for an expensive adapter. So my choices have been greatly reduced compared to VGA or DVI, and the amount of money that I must spend has risen. ADC is not with…

  • Well, I can always take it back. And I hadn't planned on OS X support, although it would have been nice... The no software thing is a killer though. Nobody has an old software CD of this thing laying around they'd be willing to make me a deal…

  • Don't forget the "Wizards" that pop up to handhold the user through a puzzling, counter-intuitive 17-step process. That's your "task-based" interface at work. Here's some problems with task-based interfaces: 1) They don't give any hint to t…
    in Windows Longhorn to Surpass OS X? o.O Comment by gizzmonic March 2004
  • Wow, that guy quoted Winston Churchill's statement about democracy to describe Mac OS X's UI...and I've done the same thing? Guess I need to get out more often.
    in Welcome back to 2001! (OS X nitpicking) Comment by gizzmonic February 2004
  • Well-I found out why I couldn't get an order number-they didn't actually order it till yesterday. Apple's site is quoting me 8 weeks too! That friggin sucks. Has anyone who ordered right after the product announcement gotten theirs yet?
    in Xserve G5-what's the shipping date? Comment by gizzmonic February 2004
  • Actually it's not that I haven't gotten a ship date from Apple, it's just that the hulking bureaucracy that I work for hasn't given me a ship date to work with... I am left to guess!

  • I hate my computer monitor. Everything that comes across it is garbage.

  • I guess I'll probably just dust off an old SCSI CD-ROM drive when I really need to boot off a CD.
    in Booting off a FW PCI card? Comment by gizzmonic January 2004
  • I can't put the DVD-ROM inside the computer because I would lose the portability of the drive...also, I've got a huge SCSI drive that currently occupies the 5.25 inch bay. I might have to do that though whenever I want to install system software. …
