Heh. Nice job. It was sorta sad to read, though.. Not much has changed, except the part where you are encouraged to get your IT guy benchmark a Mac against a PC.. -robo

Young 'uns. I was here when we were speculating about what the replacements for the beige G3s were going to look like (the rumors were for a cube shape (heh), and a translucent dark blue and grey scheme, like the original Studio Display). I…

I have to say that the Segway is an incredibly cool piece of engineering I think it's biggest problem will be image. They have to get public perception around to seeing it as a desirable gee-whiz futuristic device, rather than a two wheeled motoriz…

Yeah.. i've wanted an iPod for a while, but couldn't quite convince myself that it was worth $300 plus. However, you can get refurbished 5GB models now for under $240 (just got one from Zones for $239). It's a good deal, i think. But Apple …

Apple Canada is run by lobotomized monkeys. Didn't you know?

Yes. Didn't you know? They give his a few months at most. -robo

I wonder if Pixar has the resources to produce a feature film independently? With four blockbusters in a row under their belts, i think they have the credibility to get investors and the public's attention. I wonder if they're locked into some de…

Yeah, Jobs definitely doesn't have an EE degree. His formal education is limited to sitting in on some artsy classes at Reed College, and dropping lots of acid. Incidentally, I don't think the Woz had any formal EE or CS education either, he was …

Well, he did manage to start an amazingly succussful computer company at a time when computers were the sole domain of the uber-geek. So he must have had quite a lot of geek-knowledge at one time. Of course, it was the Woz who was the technical geni…

Oh, yeah. I forgot :

I think the problem is not that people wouldn't buy stuff (just think of the AirMall catalog.. And you could get your Mac shipped home via the online Apple Store), but that the store would, in a matter of 10 seconds, cease to be an Apple store, and …

Heh. Thanks guys. I'm touched I'll still be around, but i just haven't had the time to be a useful mod recently, and that probably won't change for a while. So it's back to being an ordinary passenger on the great AI train Cheers, r…

Murbot, you rock :cool: -robo

Yup. It works. There is nothing in the keyboard that will corrode on contact with water (ie. no iron or steel). It's all copper, aluminum, solder, and phenolic with some nylon and rubber bits for the keys. Water could cause a short circuit (that'…

Before you go buy a new keyboard, pop all the keys off your current one (use a wide flat screwdriver), then put the keyboard in the dishwasher without soap and run it through the regular cycle. Let it dry in a warm dry place for a week and try again…

I think the 74 min limit was set by Von Karajan with Berlin, not New York. Minor point -robo

I didn't read the article, but I fail to see how this development is bad for Nick de Plume. The threat seems to be that if a site publishes Mac rumors (BTW - what actually qualifies as a rumor? Rather a broad category, isn't it?), they will be denye…

For me, it was when they demoed Halo for the first time. Everybody's jaw was on the floor. I think that was July 1999. Also, when they showed Aqua for the first time. That was pretty exciting. The rest of that keynote was boring as hell though. I…

Does anyone remember the classic Dvorak quote from 1984? Something like this: "It uses an experimental pointing device called a 'mouse', which will undoubtedly be an utter failiure." Seriously. -robo
