  • I know Applenut previously requested that people not bring M$ into this but here I go anyway. When Microsoft released Win 98 2nd & 3rd Edition wasn't it around $40 or $50? To me this seems the limit of what I consider reasonable (yes I'd pay $…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Nostradamus: I doubt it will be called 10.2 I bet Apple will call it 10.5 and sell it as a $99 upgrade. I find that highly unlikely. Apple wants people to migrate to OS X. OS 10.1 isn't too hot, even the most loy…

  • steve: 6 months ago I bought a G4 466 off ebay for $1200. You should get it over the 400 version becuase it has a 4x AGP port (instead of 2x) & a 133mhz bus/ram (instead of 100 mhz). I suggest you wait a bit because as soon as the new PM's are…

  • Yes our friend n4mant seems to know very little about PDF's . Here's a few tips for him. A. PDF's save all images using Jpeg or Zip compression, not a tiff format. B. PDF's keep everything vector if possible. If you make a vector drawin…

  • Yeah, they need to do something with the dock. My idea (that I've sumitted to apple numerous times) is that they have a button or switch that will make all the icons switch to your "secondar" dock (ie. your less used items that you still want in t…
