he's tryin to get an idea before he does ask i guess. that's pretty much what you'll see, it won't fluctuate from the 2004 numbers much.

i would wipe it clean with a fresh install of XP
I'd wipe it clean with a fresh install of Amiga or SUSE.
P2P in general always brings weird stuff. even if not a program itself, downloads from P2P programs cab have weird stuff or be weird stuff that you aren't expecting. stay legal, don't do P2P (unless you are ACTUALLY doing LEGAL stuff with it, which not many people do)

Hurray! I am sitting here drooling at my computer constantly waiting for more Power4esque news!
Well... no... not really... but I totally check in at least once a day, haha.

I was listening to the TWIT podcast the other day and they were talking about how Vista (consumer edition) is being delayed-again. They also mentioned how Vista is going to have almost nothing new as the new filesystem and many of the other big enhancements have been pulled.
My initial thought was to laugh, yet again, at M$'s incompetence. But then I got to thinking...M$ actually hasn't done *that* bad of a job when you really think about it. Look at all the failed attempts to build the next gen Mac OS through the 90s. We had Taligent and Pink and Copland and whatever else.
While most people look back on MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 as a joke, these were widely used in corporate america, especially Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Then came NT for corps and Win95 for the home users. You almost have to look at the Win95-->Vista time frame as the same as the System 7.5--->Tiger timeframe in the Mac world.
So from Fall of 1994 to present Apple went from System 7.5 to Mac OS 8.0, to Mac OS 9/9.1 to Rhapsody, Jaguar, Panther and Tiger.
In the same time frame M$ went from MS-DOS/Win 3.1 to Win95, Win98/WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and Win XP.
Microsoft had a much larger installed base, drastically larger 3rd party support issues (both software compatibility and hardware drivers), and the internet boom to deal with while creating their new OS's. Probably bigger issues than Apple had to overcome. On the other hand, M$ had billions of dollars to throw at development. But, anyone who does software dev knows that more money/more bodies isn't always the answer.
If the roles were reversed and Apple held 80% market share in the late 90s do we think Apple would have or would be doing a better job than M$ of getting new, stable and back-wards compatible OSs out the door?

Apparently they're waiting for the server load to go down a bit before releasing it through the auto update function. Presumably it'll self-update rather than direct you to the site.
Huh? It has nothing to do with HTML or JS, it's a bug in the app itself.
Apparently, the sites I've seen that were corrected, mimicked the problem with bad code.

The 970 is already more than a prediction by most of the MacRumors gang. So, I'd like to provide a comparison of the Apollo and our potential G5.
G4 - Motorola's Flagship Chip
Motorola has only been able to produce a 1.25GHz (that is apparently available). But, the G4 has a few advantages going for it. The G4 has Altivec, only sports seven pipeline stages, and supports two megabytes of L3 cache.
However great those improvements may be, however, they are not enough to fight off a pathetic 166MHz system bus, the P4s SSE2, and dated manufacturing method.
970 - The Chip We'd Like To Call The G5
The 970 from IBM is an excellent chip, and if it were released by the end of the month, would still battle fiercly with the P4 and Athlon. However, the 970 probably won't find itself in production until the second half of and likely will not find any applications until early 2004.
Still, I like to be optimistic. If the chip is initially available at 1.4-1.8GHz, Mac fans would gain a significant performance hike over the G4--even if it is unable to beat Intel and AMD's offerings.
7455
- Up to 1.5GHz (overclocked)
- 166MHz System Bus
- SDRAM Support
- 2MB L3 Cache (1/4 Processor Clock)
- 256K L2 Cache (Full Processor Clock)
- Altivec
- 32-bit processing
- 180nm manufacturing
970
- Up to 1.8GHz (IBM claim)
- 900MHz System Bus (450 x 2)
- DDR RAM Support
- 512K L2 Cache (Full Processor clock)
- Altivec
- 64-bit processing
- 130nm manufacturing (90nm rumored)

nine months from now, no motorola processors in any macs
it will all be G5s across the board and the G5 powermac will be at 3 ghz...bold, yes...but i think apple finally wants to make up ground they lost when motorola got stuck at 500 mhz for 18 months...yuck!!

Oh of course -- I just thought it was odd that the link was a little tough to find and that nobody posted the link in this thread ;)
Firefox does seem faster, and I'm happy to have one less window in Expose :)
Well, I rarely post those type of links because generally the people who aren't willing to work at finding it usually shouldn't be dealing with software in that state of being anyway. Giving those people easy access is opening up the forum to a lot of extra, unncessary whining. Oops, did I say that? :p

All of the major Apps are dual aware, as is the OS!
Try that with XP Home.
Quoting your OLD post...
Why would anyone run XP Home on a dual processor. They should be running Windows XP Pro.
But to play the devil's advocate... let's see... Windows can use up to 32 processors (Windows .NET). Try that with Mac OS X! Oh wait, you can't. Of course, no 32-way Power Macs available.
BTW, Steve Jobs has made it clear that since his time at NeXT that it's the software, damn it! If it weren't for his work at NeXT, we would not have the Cocoa library nor Mac OS X.

I'm not saying that your post really deserves a response, but c'mon...what do you expect? You downloaded and installed Kazaa, which is known for being spyware and adware infested and then you get (oh my!) adware and spyware. Not that surprising if you ask me.
With that said, just follow the directions that the last guy posted and you will get rid of it. There are versions of both Kazaa and limewire that come with or without adware and spyware, so just make sure that you are getting the good version (it might take some time to look for them.) Hope this helps!
While like I said *I* did NOT install it, it was my brother. But, I know better, then to install any kind of P2P on a PC, I have limewire on my Mac, but that is because it is safe,
Here is what the Kazza site said:
"If you want to use Kazaa but don't want to view ads you can purchase Kazaa Plus, the ad-free version..." (its not cheap) so this is suppose to happen with a million popups and slowed system they claim know Spyware, etc, my *(bad word goes here)* I have never seen a computer so slow of junked up. its horrible.
I will be (if I even can) be downloading the software, but I need to find out how to delete that BS

I really hope the low-end model gets a DVD or CD-RW. It seems like it should get a DVD, CD-ROMs should be abandoned by Apple and a DVD would be better suited to a laptop then a CD-RW.
edit- Here's what MOSR has to say:
The iBook is looking to see G3 processors at up to 933MHz, 133MHz memory, and new displays - a 13-inch standard flat panel, and a 14-inch widescreen. The timing looks to be between January and March of next year, but is very much subject to change depending on the economic climate that takes shape between now and then.

Success of Xserve is important to the future expansion of Mac on the desktop. Not tomorrow or next month but years down the road as businesses are exposed to the Mac in that enviroment, it makes Mac on the office desktop a more palatable idea. In turn, the computer at work becomes the computer at home.
