  • Quote: Someone mentioned PC-fanboy sites, that could have led me into believing we, or I need extra expansion. Those sites are read by more than just PC-fanboys, even professionals, regular consumers - which means they too can be led into believing…
  • What are you complaining about--inkjets or postscript laserprinters. Never had a problem with a laserprinter. In fact the new HP are rendezvous enabled and are very easy to set up. Inkjets. You get what you pay for.
  • Quote: perhaps the reason adobe canceled ATm was they knew of an up-and-coming Apple supplied utility, namely FontBook. Nope. Adobe was very clear when they announced the demise of ATM, that they had no interest in hacking the living daylights o…
  • FYI, there were NO G5s at Apple's booth. The G5 demo was provided by the nice folks at Pixar. Not exactly marketing genius, but then again who wants to demo non-optimized software on a beta OS for a group of CGI freaks.

  • Quote: the reason i placed this in future hardware, is because getting saddam will be coming and the amy has macs so that will help tremendously, apple is there at the front. but they could always use more power so here's hoping for a quick release…
  • Quote: We cant say though this was on one of Apples G5 machines so I imagine it was running pretty well optimized at the time since people were inspecting it Apple would want it to look good as they could manage. That doesnt mean it couldnt get bet…

  • Quote: 2.) arcinfo -- mapping software, i'll have to take your word for it. may be a hope for it eventually coming to mac, since the workstation variety is available for some unix flavors Sorry, ESRI is a Windows only shop now. However if you're…
  • Quote: Please remember that they don't pay close to 50% in taxes in the US We don't get health care and schooling in the usa. But our army can kick your army's ass . god i miss the strøget.
  • Quote: simply put no one here can tell us that the problems at Fishkill AREN'T 970 related If you actually read the article that generated this useless thread, the issue IS NOT fab related, but not enough bookings for the fab, i.e. it is operati…
  • Quote: if in exchange for making them use windows they save a ton of money that can be used for other boring stuff like school repairs, lunch programs, text books, art supplies, special ed resources, security... etc etc or more IT staff.
  • Quote: If a platform can't even resize a window properly, what kind of confidence are people going to have in its ability to run Maya? It's all related. Sure. People who run Maya and have to meet render deadlines always run other benchmarks lik…
  • Quote: SO I went to Macworld and saw the G5 and Panther for myself. Granted, I was only able to spend about 5 mins playing with one of the new dual 2GHz macines. And it was running 10.2.7. But I certainly did not get the impression that I did th…
  • http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1197450,00.asp Quote: The initial blade server will be based on the Power PC 970 processor (known internally as the GPUL), which made its debut this month in Apple Computer Inc.'s Power Mac G5 line. A mid-2004 …
  • Quote: Frankly Safari bothered me on this score. Don't get me wrong, it's a great browser and I've been using it as my default since beta 1, but the problem is that it isn't perfectly compatible with every site. IE Mac was pretty bad for compatibil…
  • I don't think Code: XXX will work if you have a valid doctype declaration in IE5.
  • For the most part font management is already "there" in OSX. Suitcase, Font Reserve and Font Agent (and now I guess Master Juggler has been revived from the dead) all work with their own pecadillos and pluses. While everyone has fond memories, or ar…
  • Quote: Same old protectionist bullshit that keeps developing countries small and poor and developing countries fat and slow. I would hardly call India a developing country. It is the largest democracy in the world and has the largest middle clas…
  • Quote: This kind of job export has existed for longer than any of us have lived. No it hasn't. Intentionally clueless or just arguing for the sake of it? No companies in earlier history would be able to afford the capital investments in shift…
