You are correct.. being an Apple Employee means you're not supposed to frequent forums and the like.

The iBook is a great computer.......iPhoto works great, and the CD burner is very fast (so transferring the photos will be a breeeeeze)
But.....the PowerBook is a great machine.....
Here are the pro's and con's
iBook (the 12" model)-
PROS-
-VERY PORTABLE (very lightweight and SMALL)
-solid construction (very durable)
-good power (its only a G3, but tasks get done)
-much better for traveling
CONS-
-small screen
-G3 (which isn't so bad)
-smaller harddrive
PowerBook
PROS-
-LOTS OF POWER (this thing can run ANY application)
-awesome for video editing
-HUGE screen!
-good battery power for its size
-BIG harddrive
CONS-
-HUGE (if you want portability, get the iBook)
-fragile (handle with care)
Thats all I can think off.....
To me, it sounds like you are going to do all your MAJOR stuff on the iMac.......if thats the case, you're only going to use your laptop for on-the-road stuff, which shouldn't be much. In that case, stick with the iBook.....its portable, lightweight, and powerful......if you want to do some serious Mobile Video Editing (or mobile photo shop editing) then get the PowerBook........but if you're only making short iMovies and small iPhoto projects, then you're gonna love the iBook!
BTW----don't bother getting the 14" iBook.....if you want the big screen, then go with a powerbook........also, for transferring files between your computers rapidly, I highly recommend a small firewire drive, like the firefly or something.......

i wonder if a single processor machine that repeatedly requests core82 and never gets it just hangs forever?
that would suck for the whole project

Quality is just a marketing concept.
It's been replaced by cheap products tossed out the door in large quantities.
Just keep telling us you make a quality product, and you may just be able to fool the gullible.

AMD will not succeed if they don't come up with a few big names...namely Dell and HP. At least one of them has to commit to it for a good length of time.

I have one too...and love it. I like the Pro Mouse as well. I like that the whole mouse is the button. It is soooo lazy.

Well when Palladium becomes the de facto standard for copyright protection, you'll get your wish.
As for industrial design, I do agree that I'd like to see something better, too. Not that the current design is bad, but something sleeker and sharper, kinda like B&O's stereo components, would be really sweet.

when apple almost went out of business, they had a bigger percentage of the market than they do now
when steve jobs brought apple back and things were going good, ten percent of certain types of machines were apple machines bringing our total market share to five percent
dot.com bombed and apple fell behind and now the market share is somewhere around 3.5 percent
...will it get any lower or are the 3.5 percent apple's core constituency that will be a given from year to year?
there are so many users in northern california, apple territory, that will never break from apple and if apple goes down, they would rather run linux than windows
some have suggested that apple can stagnate and just fulfill its fans and never grow but just improve its line from time to time to keep it's core users happy...but isn't that what apple has been doing for umpteen years anyway when bill g took the market into his own hands and laid the groundwork for IT/IS domination?
i just don't want to see motorola get stuck at any speed again for many months on end like it did at 500 mhz...but then again....after 2 ghz or so, who will care about cpu clock speed when other issues like price, video card, ram, bus, cache, and software selection will be the more important "selling points"?

It's actually a little worse than you think, when the P4s first came out, they were clock for clock significantly slower than a G4, but with the release of the Northwood core and then the 533mhz bus, at least with the stuff I do, my P4 is clock for clock faster than my G4. I've got 6 classes of machines sitting around and when I hit render and then factor out mhz, this is the list fastest to slowest: PIII-mobile, P4-533mhz bus, PIII-coppermine, G4-quicksilver, G3, PII. Of course with the boosted bus on the new G4s, this ranking may well have changed, but the point is, the P4 is no longer the laggard it was at it's introduction. On top of that Intel keeps boosting the clockspeed and is about to introduce another boost in the form of hyperthreads to the consumer P4 line to push it even farther.
I really like my Mac, OSX is nice and I love the iApps. All the kid videos are done using 75% iMovie and iDVD (with a little Premier on the PC when I need something fancy), but frankly that's really not enough and I only keep the Mac to support my customers. When it comes to production, it's just not enough bang for the buck. I have to believe that Steve and Co. have something interesting up their sleeve because to follow Motorola's plodding updates to the G4 seems like a slow suicide and would be a terrible thing to do to the stockholders and fans of the platform.
Before I get flamed about how it's worth the performance hit and cost to avoid the PCs reputation for more downtime. I haven't a problem like that since NT4 with sp3 as long as I use a top tier vender like dell. The handful of homegrown machines I've built since then have been notoriously twitchy, but is probably more an indicator of my skills as a system integrator not of the platform in general.

I love Konfabulator. One of the few small apps I didnt mind paying for.
Too bad Apple didn't include Rose, and just integrate Konfabulator into Tiger. But, business is indeed "dog eat dog".
At least I can carry the legend on with my PC ;)
hey...I wonder if our registration for the mac version will be the same, or if windows users will have to purchase it all over again?
EDIT
I've just downloaded it and installed it on my PC. It's EXACTLY the same as the Mac version. I love it. This was a very smart move, and I couldn't be happier about it. :)

I'm probably late on this, but just in case you haven't seen it, check this website out...
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.apple.com
You can type in any Web address and it pulls up the actual HTML archives from as far back as 1996. You can look at all the updates between now and then.
It's kind of cool to see how they talk about the products and look at the "new colorful eMac" ads.
Here's a direct quote from Apple's home page at the end of 1999...!!
"Prepared for the Millennium
When 1999 rolls to 2000, many computer systems will fail, but not the Apple Macintosh. Find out why..."

first off, apple doesnt need to make it...another company already has. and it may not be the most seemingly viable system right now, but i think its much more promising that a PDA. eventually when the price comes down i think it may be a great computer item

Can anyone offer me any advice how to get stuck in that same elevator when I visit NYC in November? Thanks!:eek:Yeah, good idea. With the right kind of sabotage, you could create a fake emergency, trapping you in the elevator, and then hope Apple will reward you for your terrible inconvenience afterward!
Or make a deal ahead of time with some other company. Once you are trapped, and tourists and reporters are snapping photos of you trapped in there, pull out your "Sony Connect - the proper way to buy music!" sign and earn a big payment from Sony's advertising department. Just make sure to get out of there quickly as soon as the doors open!

Digital distribution is getting to the point where it is practical and affordable enough to be used by most people, so pre-recorded content will die out in all formats in favor of people just downloading content and burning it to disc themselves.
Not anytime in the next 5 years.
There are barely a handful of countries in the world with the capacity to deploy such a solution.
Expect optical solutions to be around for at least another decade.
Unless you want to tell people in Rural ares to **** off and move to the city if they want to enjoy movies and video games.
(this goes for technically inept countries as well)
