  • Apple's Tablet Computer Might Finally Be That Link Between Your PC and TV By Robert X. Cringely High-tech is relentlessly optimistic and for good reason: the good times -- ALL the good times -- are caused by product transitions. New stuff costs …
    in New tablet rumor? Comment by ptrash November 2003
  • Applestore SOHO doesn't have them, atleast not for display. They do have big banners up (Introduicng the G5) that I don't beleive were here last week, si I imagine sometime next week or the week after. However, you'd expect them to have some kind of…
    in Does your local mac dealer have a G5? Comment by ptrash August 2003
  • I ran into an Apple Store SOHO employee on the subway the other day and he said not until the end of the month. I hope you're right and he's wrong.
    in G5s in the Apple Stores tomorrow Comment by ptrash August 2003
  • Just wondering if any Apple retail stores have received their G5s yet?
    in Supplier tell me G5 in stock tomorrow Comment by ptrash August 2003
  • I think we got what the rational among us pretty much expected. Well, the release of 10.2 was a little surprise. BUT there are two things that suck: having to pay full price for the 10.2 upgrade (you can play the marketers' game and call it Jaguar i…
    in Whiny, hand-wringing baby freaks... Comment by ptrash July 2002
  • Thanks. They're a bit expensive-$85 per search. But doing a search under "scripophily" came up with another company, unclaimedassets.com, that charges $45 per search. Still, after reading that most of these assets are returned to the state after 5 y…
    in How can I track down old stock certificates? Comment by ptrash May 2002
  • Check out this thread on Arstechnica. It's ironic that we spend so much time bitching about Mac hardware when it's the OS that's the real problem. In effect, what we 're asking for is faster hardware to make up for the perfomance lag that come fr…
    in MWNY: Apples last chance... Comment by ptrash May 2002
  • I pretty much fit into the class of "Prosumer." I use a Mac at work, but don't make my living off it-I could just as well do my web work on a PC, since it' nothing fancy. At the same time, I want a machine at home that I can customize. In fact, I've…

  • Italian Greyhound. Great city dog, and the perfect dog for cat lovers and people with allergies.
    in Pets? Comment by ptrash October 2002
  • The pilots knew the mission, the muscle very likely didn't. The indicted guy was in training to be a pilot Except that the fourth group wasn't short a pilot-it was short an enforcer. So the question still begs an answer; why did this "alleged hi…

    in are powermacs bullet-proof? Comment by ptrash November 2002
  • The specs may not be that bad. In fact the low end machine is a decent deal. But I think the reason people are venting at Apple is because they're tired of being let down. Of course in a way we're responsible for the high expectations, but if we did…

  • One of these was on sale on Ebay-a regular poster to xlr8yourmac. Here's the link: http://bbs.xlr8yourmac.com/ubb/Forum22/HTML/000978.html
    in WTF! did anybody know about this? Comment by ptrash April 2002
  • Seems this statement kind of slipped by: [quote]Apple tried to drum up excitement for the rest of the year when, at the Macworld show, Jobs declared 2003 to be the "year of the notebook," saying notebook PCs would eventually make up more than 50…
    in The $399 question: Revisited by the media Comment by ptrash January 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by Amorph: Are Apple prices in Europe still mind-bogglingly high? Part of the blame for that goes to the steep VATs imposed by the countries themselves, and there's not much Apple can do about that, but still... Unfortu…

  • [quote]Originally posted by James B: Hasn't Apple publically said that they'll 'wait and see' in regards to the Tablet PC. I don't think the market is ready for the tablet pc. It just seems like a PDA and Laptop blended together. I don't mind …
    in Where is the Tapplet PC? Comment by ptrash November 2002
  • You're all assuming that Apple's made a decision here, and is in the process of developing a system (hardware and software) based on this chip. Are you sure all of you aren't overestimating Apple's ability to get things right, or underestimating the…
    in CONFIRMED IBM Power PC 970 Comment by ptrash October 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by TBoxman: I believe Moki has jumped in here numerous times. He has consistently said not to expect the GPUL until next fall. Personally, I believe him, more so than anyone else in this forum. Someone else correctly not…
    in GPUL on October 15 - "CONFIRMED" by Moki? Comment by ptrash October 2002
  • Could Motorola diss Apple any more than they already have. And what;s Motorola gonna do, stop selling their processor to Apple. I'm sure their shareholders would love that as management defended their decision, "But they insulted us!"
