  • Actually EmAn, the SuperDrive iMac was available right away, with the combo drive model coming in a little later, and the cd-rw model comin in around March. Not that it matters, but what it says is that Apple, when it can will release the most po…

    in Formac Gallery 2010 owners! Comment by composer November 2002
  • It's running PocketPC (Windblows Micro-bloat OS) From the looks of it I might say HP-Compaq is OEMing it for them. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing. Heck Dell could even start selling iPods! -Composer

  • posted by clonenode: This "new PowerBook" info is funny. You have campus reps or other "vendors" telling people NOT to buy something for another two weeks. Imagine if the Apple Stores didn't make any sales for 2 weeks![/QUOTE] After giving this …
    in New Laptop model on October 15th. Comment by composer October 2002
  • I find it odd that an Apple sales person, or any sales person for that matter would tell anyone to wait. Sales reps do not know anything more than the general public knows. Given that, it's in their best interest to sell you a computer TODAY. J…

    in Dual Processor iMacs with 19" LCD Comment by composer October 2002
  • JCG: I see what you are saying. Perhaps I was unclear in my haste: Here's what the lineup is: $599 15(normal) $999 17(normal) $2499 22(cinema) $3499 23(cinemaHD) Here's what I think it will be: $699 17(cinema) $999 19(cinema) $31…
    in Dual Processor iMacs with 19" LCD Comment by composer October 2002
  • My god you people and your 19" iMac speculations! THERE IS NO 19" iMAC!!!!! Could it possibly be that Apple is revising it's display lineup to focus on the "hole" that exists between the 17" display and the 22" cinema display? How about 17,…

  • I always thought that Apple should offer two varieties of mouse. 1. A simple, one button mouse and keyboard suitable for the average user. Similar to what Apple offers today with their Pro Mouse and keyboard. 2. A REAL pro mouse with multiple…

    in Moved: Has apple any hope? Comment by composer September 2002
  • Sure it's more expensive than a palm, but it does take care of its primary functions, and lets you carry around music, videos, files, etc. So it's better than a palm in most cases, for most people. However, this improved PIM capacity pretty mu…
    in Apple PDA - Now a dead cert? Comment by composer July 2002
  • Neat stuff for sure. I think Wacom is the only player in this market for a reason. It's too smal even for Apple. The only folks that buy these things are graphics professionals. Not that I don't lust for one every day of my life mind you...
    in Interactive Pen Display Comment by composer July 2002
  • If Apple does produce a PDA, it will be with it's own OS. And like JCG before me, I too think it will be a version of OS X. Why else would they have built in all this HW recognition stuff into the OS if it weren't true?
    in Apple to release Palm OS 5 device Comment by composer July 2002
  • Personally I think we'll see something closer to xServe/TiBook looking mockup. Why? Because that's the way it seems that apple is organizing it's design schemes. Metallic for Pro, White Translunacy for the Consumer. Perhaps Ives will introduce r…

    in Is Ti design getting long in the tooth? Comment by composer February 2002
  • cdhostage: great question! Answer: When applied to a conventional monitor (i.e. CRT), lower frequencies closer to the refresh rate of the monitor would probably produce some visual distortion. However, since LCD's do not have a refresh rate per …
