Heh.. that Electric Image deal is a cute way of spinning 'Buy an iBook from us and get some free software' -robo

^^ Good luck with it. I hope LaCie has improved their quality recently. Oh, and regarding speeds over 52x, i wonder if multiple lasers will see a return. Kenwood should dig out their TrueX technology. -robo

I bought a LaCie firewire burner in the old blue plastic enclosure a couple years ago. It was pretty disappointing in terms of quality. The fan was horrendously noisy, the case was crappy, and there was some strange issue with the Firewire bridge th…

I just improved it: -robo

Defiant: here's the Happy Hacking Keyboard site

Just got a Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite II USB.. It feels just like the original Macintosh keyboard, and kinda looks like it too. It's cool! -aoeu [ 02-07-2003: Message edited by: robo ]

Hmm.. travelling between east coast cities is time consuming. NYC to Boston will take half a day if you know where you're going, longer if you don't. If you want to see a city, go to NYC. If you want to see the outdoors, go to the west coast (any…

Oh, and this is the wrong forum for this question...

What OS? You can always use the find command (Command F). Or in OS X you can use the terminal if you're feeling geeky.

SPJ gets the prize for least nerdy setup. A refreshing change -robo

He was just part of a 'discussion forum' that was apparently a complete disaster. The mics were haywire so nobody could hear, and it just ended up being 4 guys going "OS X is better" and Woz going "Well, i like OS 9 too". Big disappointment …

No matter. Just sounds like a guy who's bitter because he doesn't get why everyone around him was excited about computers that don't run Windows. -robo

Yeah, i went to ikea a few weeks ago, and they seem to have an exclusive deal with HB. It's too bad. the HP boxes seem out of place. Apple was perfect. Oh well. No big deal. The HPs were ripped apart anyway, and looked like crap. Not much adverti…

Ehh.. oops. Sorry Spiv. I've rarely been in C&CF, so didn't recognize your handle. I thought you were one of the MacAch mods under a new name here. BTW - about the 'Ars Attitude', i've noticed it too, but it's partly because a lot of peo…

BTW Spiv, the 'henchmen' comment was originally intended to be humorous. When i made it, i honestly didn't expect that thread to get locked. But it did get locked, and then... -robo BTW - care to reveal your Ars identity, since you hint at bei…

Update: Sorry, Eugene, i hadn't read the Sticky Thread since yesterday. I didn't see your post about the Foxtrot, and the subsequent venom. I think you certainly overreacted, but i don't understand the nastiness from others that followed. And i c…

AHEM Heh. this thread had me confused for a moment too. What forum am i in? But i have to play devil's advocate here: Despite the fact that AI is in some ways a rival forum to Ars (at least the Ars MacAch), i'm surprised at the veheme…

For all the stupid boneheaded things Apple does, and for all the complaining we do, you have to love a computer company that designs a dial on the bottom of their mice to subtly but perceptibly adjust the feel of the button click. -robo

Actually... He wasn't far wrong at all. In fact, it was a very perceptive article, and not Apple bashing at all (eg. John Dvorak style). The fact was that Jobs was _not_ part of the deal, and (if Alsop has his facts straight), Jobs made it c…

At my parents house in Canada, Fedex won't leave a package unless you have a FedEx decal on your door, which signals that they can leave stuff. Where my parents live, theft is extremely rare, and my dad's been recieving FedEx stuff this way on a fre…
