  • try David Coursey's switching to Apple stories on zdnet.com. Great stuff from a PC user and journalist. http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4520-7297_16-5122766.html http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4520-7298_16-5120446.html http://reviews-zdnet.com.co…
    in Mac OS X vs Windows - How do I convert my friend from Windows to Mac? Comment by jade April 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by chris v Sure, it's fair. Pound for pound, Apples really don't cost much more than PCs. People always quote the price/performance ratio, and what you're saying is that essentially, a PC with less performance (check the …

  • MOSR thinks the delay is because some governemnt agencies have ordered g5s and xserves...and they are killing all the supply, but Apple can't announce them as new customers yet.
    in Problems with adapting 90nm G5's? Comment by jade April 2004
  • Thanks Gamblor! The since the g5s came out Computers in the price range of the g5 come with 8x DVD burners 512-1 gb RAM and 120-160 HD. So without doing anything, Apple could update those specs or lower the prices slightly. Have minor speed …

  • Quote: Originally posted by kraig911 apples biggest problem is that they have a huge following of overly critical technophiles. a 3.2ghz PC is slower than a dual G5, I use a 3.2 as well as home, and I use a dual g5 at work, and the g5 at work…

  • Quote: Originally posted by chris v That seems odd, since GB is supposedly built out of Logic's core app. What this suggests is not neccessarily that Apple needs faster machines to run Garage Band (though faster is always nice) but rather that th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by AirSluf GarageBand is a consumer app, but the level you seem to want to run it at, jade, is a bit beyond a consumer level. How many garage bands do you know of that have 10 player back-up orchestras along with the us…

  • At 1000 for a DVD burning laptop...that is even below emachine territory, especially one so small. The cheapest DVD-burning Centrino notebook I have ever seen was an Acer w/ 14 or 15" screen and it was $1100 or $1200. So even at $1200 it would be…

  • Quote: Originally posted by AirSluf Well, that exists already. Get a dual G5, your preference to wait for a rev b is just that a preference. It doesn't mean a box with the requirements you need doesn't exist, something you already implicitly an…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Jimzip Tsk tsk. It sounds as if you're saying that ATi will only sell to about 5% of a 2% market. They would be out of the Mac side by now if that were true! Remember, in almost every Mac there's and ATi card exclu…
    in Graphics video cards - no choice, tough luck Comment by jade April 2004
  • I like the idea of an intergrated firewire and usb hub in the new displays...but I agree...ADC has to go. Apple would sell 4x the # of monitors even if it only utilized DVI. I also vote for the extra sharpness of monitors like the Sony Xbrite, S…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Why is it so horrible? At least it'll make your purchase last twice as long before it is out-dated by a newer release. System development has been progressing at a breakneck pace for 20 years (in the case …

  • ATI doesn't make retail cards for Macs because there are not enough people to buy it! 1. the only people that can even think about getting one are powermac oeners. 2. Of the computers apple sells only 15-20% are powermacs 3. Of those power…

  • Well I think tech tv is dead. the new headquaters after the merger will be in Southern California. I imagine it will be all games, no tech. And tech tv was acquired because of high cable penetration. Give it 4 months.
