Actually I think it is about 10 minutes from King of Prussia mall. I live in nj and I dont mind driving to King of Prussia...dont complain:D
Where in NJ? There are a number of stores in the state and you wouldn't have to deal with Philly traffic.
If it is Southern NJ you should give Sagemore a try (Marlton, NJ).

Don't get me wrong. Apple IS competing against the world of WinTel, and they aren't doing so well in speed or price. I, for one, like it just as much when people have legitimate complaints as when they have a legitimate complement. If we just accept the way things are, they'll never get better. Macs are easier to use, more stable, etc, etc... but they're not as fast. And "Apple is a business" is not a good excuse. It just proves my point. So stop saying, "if you don't like it go buy a PC".
Cuz they will. Duh.
If the new Dual 1.25s are as fast as a ~2 GHz x86, I'd be happy. Have you ever tried to edit video on a PC? Zero to Crash in 60 sec. If the iBook can do some basic stuff like typing letters and surfin' the net, and it's pretty affordable (and light, and sturdy, and has a long battery life), I'm happy. Benchmarks, shmenchmarks, it's real world performance that counts.
When I feel like Apple's acting like M$ (yeah, that's right, I said it), and a >$1000 PC can whip the *** of the $3000+ "Top-of-the-Line" Mac, I'm not happy.
And believe me, yer gonna hear about it.
Now where are the darn 7500 G5s we were promised (please note sarcasm).
agreed - except essentially, it IS a 1 ghz chip thats passed its acceptance for 1.25. At least a p3 and p4 have large architectural differences!
as of late, Apple IS acting like M$ - teh DDR marketing spin is just that - "ooh !look!! a new buzzword gullible buyers!", whilst in 'real world performance' I am yet to be impressed with Jagwire on my iBook. (under 10.2, Word currently lasts an average of 20 minutes before crashing and it is also DOG SLOW handling more than a 20 page document.....grr....not good for thesis writing! this is the kind of real world performance issue I'd like to see addressed - you can keep ichat etc if your web browser crashes or takes noticeable seconds to render tables and images...)
Personally, teh current register jagwire review sums my feelings up exactly.

Dose any one leave it on the hole night? I whould but i dont know if its good for the ps3. It's good for the electric companies! 280 - 380 Watts for 24/7, I would leave it on only if you make your own energy (windmill, solar, nuclear) and plenty of it.

I thought he said JDK 1.4...
In any case, I'm sure he was asking about Java version 1.4, which is the current version. Hopefully it will be available soon for Mac OS X.
Jaguar ships with Java version 1.3.1.
Is it just me, or does there appear to be a lot of color variation in the front panel sections on the various Xserves?

That is cool. Another thing that's weird is looking at really tall buildings in satellite view close up.

Sure, once the area has an upscale mall. Where is the closest Macy's, Bloomingdales, Brooks Brothers, Gap?
Okay, rub it in... ;) :)
Of course, Lancaster County has the greatest concentration of outlets, so when Apple starts selling for less...
Maybe.... :)

there are many folding teams, but none better than 3446! join in the fun.
installed f@h on anything that had a network plug and blinking lights here. was eyeing the pda.... :rolleyes:
been fun watching the numbers of the next two teams coming down bit by bit....
as i have said before, loud fans make computers go faster! :eek:
fold on james, fold on.

I think it is pretty sad when the comparisons are not between the best of the best of each manufacturer and Apple still looses with the top of the line.
I dunno what AMD's best is but to see how close/ or far behind Apple is the comparison should at least include a 2.5-2.8 ghz pentium 4.

What? No Dynamic Link Libraries in the MacOS X? You've got to be kidding me. That's a very bad choice on Apple's part. Especially since UNIX has their own type of DLL's. The whole point of a DLL is to make it so that programs don't need to load the same exact libraries into memory and waste space... the standard C library alone is about 2 megs. And the speed benefit from static libraries versus dynamic in *nix is nill. I know, I've compiled the same library both ways just to test that fact. (For those that don't know, static libraries are compiled into an app, and dynamic libraries are stored only once in memory.)
The point you had said before was that the reason x86 sucked was that it was 25 year old technology. Your exact wording was:
Don't assume anything about the quality of a 25 year old architecture. X86 blows crap, and always will.

I don't use AirTunes, since I lack a sound system within range of my AirPort Express, and therefore have nothing to connect the audio cable to. I like this idea of enabling any application (even CocoModX (http://cocomod.stalkingwolf.net/), an application I use) to make use of AirTunes technology.

Funny story of how it can be abused.
First time playing playing rainbows six multiplayer hostage multiplayer game.
I was in a room with 16 people, everyone was giving orders etc, anyway...
I ran into the church and saw this person at the end who wasnt one of my team so I open fire...
ooops I ahot the hostage - our team lost - end of game
Back in the lobby everyone was screaming WTF WTF WTF
As a coincidence just before we got to the menu someone dropped out.
All there really irrate guys assumed that the guy dropping out killed the hostage. I kept quiet because it was a really scary atmosphere. Anyway these other 14 players decided that they would file complaints against your one who left...
So me 'guilty' by keeping quiet kept my rep in tact and the poor guy who dropped out got his left in tatters...
It's dog eat dog out there :o :p :D :(

Too bad Quadra, you can let your iBook fold, I do the same when I use it. The heat isn't that bad, but it sure takes a long time to finish a WU.
Well I got the B&W back up and running today. It is a G4 500, so it can sometimes get one WU complete a week. I will try the G5 again when I get my new drives and memory installed.
I still have 2 P4 3.6 GHZ folding part time, and my 1.8 GHZ Dell laptop added to that as well. It keeps me gaining points, but not positions. For me it is just to help the project. Though passing people up is fun from time to time :)

Fact: Motorola plans a .13 micron G4+, the 7457. It is planned to go to 1.833GHz.
Guess: Motorola's .13 micron stuff should be coming out pretty soon (this is the third .13 micron thing I've heard about from them). If it's released in a January-ish timeframe, then we would see it in new products over the next few months.
Guess: the 7457 (or the low power variant, the 7447) would have low enough power usage for the iBook. 800MHz 7447 iBooks anyone? Or a lower heat TiBook 1GHz TiBook?
Fact: the iMac hasn't been updated since MWNY.
Fact: Apple is EOLing its 15" LCD screens
Guess: Lower-end iMac models with 17" screens, 7457 if it's out by then, 133MHz bus. probably 733-933-ish clock frequency. This would be very good for me.
Guess: 15" Studio Display dicontinued (wide screen 15" a possibility, but I think it's probably too short). Probably a 19" added, w/ 17" price drops (especially if the iMac allows them to buy bulk 17" widescreens).
Fact: the PPC 970 will not be in any Macs around MWSF2003.
Guess: Maybe the first Omniweb 5 sneakypeeks? <whiny voice to Omnigroup> please? </whiney voice>
Guess: 10.2.2 will be out by then.
Fact: XServe RAID will be released around then (confirmed by Apple).
Guess: Rendesvous iTunes will be released.
Guess: iChat 1.x or 1.0.x will be released. Hopefully it'll be less buggy.
Guess: 10.2.2 will have improved RAID support for XServe RAID.
Overall Guess: new iMacs, XServe RAID, 19" display, iTunes, 10.2.2

Sorry, I fold withmy windows tower. It isn't universal on my mac yet so-it runs reeeeeeeeeeeellyslow.
I have my Pavilion tower folding 247.
I am on frame...lemmecheck...4550/5000.Almost there!:eek:

Why would the switched Apple-newbie's be 'Yikesed' by Apple if thy would launch a G5 tower Jan 2003?
Most of them bought a iMac or eMac, I presume, and we're talking about G5 towers here...
by the way, the Switch-campain is US only, I think... anyway, As far as I know Apple doesn't run a Switch-campain here in Europe...
