  • Woz talks a mile a minute! Leo couldn't get a word in edge-wise with a crowbar!

  • Make him wait until MWSF, but buy him a toy or something for Christmas to placate him in the interim. Otherwise, you're going to feel pretty stupid buying a computer two weeks before a revision. It's an instant loss of value. One day it's $999 an…

  • You would be a flaming fool if you did not make him wait until MWSF to buy an iMac. There is no doubt that there will be revised iMacs. I'm not saying LCD iMacs, just revised iMacs. The iMacs were last revised in July. That's almost seven mont…

  • Any bets on how long it will take before we will see pictures of George Harrison behind the Genius Bars in the Apple Stores?

  • It is true, women love the Dalmation and FlowerPower iMacs. I saw a young girl at CompUsa a few months ago refuse all other computers her parents offered to buy. She wanted the FlowerPower and she got it too! Go girl! I commend Apple's at…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Masker: I'm making the jump this weekend, and was wondering if OS X is safe to use on an always on net connection. I've had OSX on a cable modem for 1 year. By default, all the 'net' services (telnet, ftp, etc) are of…
    in Is OSX safe out of the box? Comment by neomac March 2002
  • An extremely few applications need to be in the Applications folder, the overwhelming majority don't. It really doesn't matter. The Application folder is at the root level. Inside it you can use folders to categorize your apps anyway you like. B…

  • I've tried Opera. It's so freaking boring. You sit there in a pernguin suit listening to the fat lady sing and you have no idea what the hell she's saying, which is probably nothing, since how can you learn anything when you weigh a freaking 4-tons!…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Scott H.: I thought sleep was a sham in OS X. That is you put it into "deep sleep" and find your batteries dead 4 hour later. Has this been fixed? [ 02-19-2002: Message edited by: Scott H. ] This was a problem with…
    in Apple should "borrow" this XP feature. Comment by neomac February 2002
  • I really don't know, but I vaguely remember a similar thread. It is not enough to 'share folder' on the Wintel PCs, you also have to create a 'workgroup' on the PCs. I think you include that into the smb url as well. Don't know. Just a vague m…

  • It's a sad day when Apple's keynotes (aka 'infomercials') actually have more entertainment value than television.

  • [quote]Originally posted by BuonRotto: hope for SLF in the Dock too. Damn right! The ability to drag and drop a file into a folder in the Dock is a big freaking oversight! on Apple's part. SLF rules!
    in Return of the real Apple Menu !!! Comment by neomac December 2001
  • I agree with the notion that OSX still has a lot of maturing to do. There is still way too many rough edges. A lot of things can be done better. Believe me, I email lots of suggestions to OSX Feedback. I think OSX will mature like OS9s GUI by …

  • What the hell is "TN 2034" ?
    in 10.2 delay and TN 2034 Comment by neomac December 2001
  • To be honest, lately, I've been really enjoying OSX. The multi-tasking and protected memory are really outstanding. The GUI and Finder still need refinement, but I like them a lot as well. I've been really, really enjoying OSX.
    in Things you thought would be bad in OSX but aren't really. Comment by neomac December 2001
  • I believe OS10.1 is a great improvement over OS10.0. But I don't think it is mature enough yet. There are still many rough edges. I think it will be a few more revisions -- 10.3, 10.4 -- before we start to see some real maturity in OS10, when it …

  • <steps on soapbox> I think software companies are entitled to protect their software and be justly compensated for their work. I'm sure the software prices would be a lot lower if 80% of it wasn't pirated. Microsoft might be a hu…
