They owe it to us? The only people Apple owes anything to is their shareholders.

I selected part 2. I have played 1, 2, 3 (DS version), 7, 8, and the online one when it first came out. I loved the characters in 2. Seven was good, eight bored me so I never got past the train scene. I did not like 3 on the DS at all. Wish I had a chance to play 3. And the online... well I'm sure it's gotten better but when I played (for all of 2 weeks), people were fighting over the mobs to kill -- there just weren't enough, lol.

I think that we are all forgetting about the possibility of an iTablet of some sorts. Think about it. With the development of Rendevous, airport, and inkwell, i think that this all leads to the possibility of a tablet PC coming out in the next year. Granted it may not be soon, but at least sometime before 2004.
Maybe a 12.1" CD drive-less 2lb tablet running 10.2.x (or higher) would be great for around the home and for travel. You would be able to take files with you like a laptop, but without the bulk. Using Rendevous it would instantly sync with any airport network within range to share files with pc or mac.
BTW- I used Jaguar the other day to link with a PC, and it worked flawlessly. Just plugged it in, found the server, and it read the PC harddrive.
This will be my last new thread...ever. I will announce tomorrow exactly why.
It's been great kids.

Single player mostly. I just find I'd rather be doing something else than playing video games when I'm with a group of friends. Unless it's something interactive like Guitar Hero, haven't tried a Wii yet but I'm sure I'd dig that.

I bet Apple's Lawyers are happy with the Supreme this week.
Creative wants an immediate injunction, Apple will say NO we probably won't have to because ...
U.S. Supreme Court sides with eBay in victory for patent reformers (http://news.findlaw.com/ap/o/51/05-15-2006/056f001358d58724.html)
Even if Apple loses, it'll be license fees years from now.
Chances are it's not too big an investor worry right now.

I think at that price sticking in WiFi would be nice. As it has already been said, the DS has WiFi. Infact every video games machine (handheld and console) launched after Nov 21 2004 has WiFi...

That's making the assumption that there will be specials on the obsolete, comes with OS9 systems. There will most likely be a push before MWSF that will provide you with some deals - so you might want to wait until after Xmas and see what happens. But if OS9 compatiblity is important, buy before the switch.

Hi I don't know where to put this so please excuse me.
I've noticed that on the bell website they have basically stolen the iChat logo.

Is there somewhere I can report this to apple? :confused:
Thanks.:p

>(MacBandit) First of all what do you consider great boot times? Not that this matters a lot. I have a new Dual Ghz/DDR and it starts from cold boot to login in screen in 27secs with 10.2 and from login to operating finder is nearly instantaneous.
With 10.2, sure, boot time on the Mac has significantly improved. But I've noticed that with the PCs at PHHS the PCs boot in under a minute. But, just this past week I thought I logged out of one of the P3s and I actually restarted it. The restart to log-in, then to the OS was approximately the same as you said, MB. What would a computer with 3x/4x the GHz seem like?
>Second of all as I have stated before the true reason Mhz doesn't matter is because something like %98 of all computer users are not power users these are the people that will go buy a new computer tomorrow and if there is a 2.8Ghz computer sitting next to a 800Mhz computer they couldn't care they're going to buy the cheap one.
>(MacBandit, in a previous post) The people that really desire the speed at least most of them know the difference between Mhz and overall system speed.
My entire previous post, starting from the first lengthy paragraph was trying to explain why MHz doesn't matter. I agree with your point of view, but I am trying to expand the MHz/GHz speeds of a G4 to how it would compare against a P4 of ≈ same speed. My post had approximations, so that's why I say approximately equal to, not =. But my point is that the G4 can actually surpass the P4 at 3 or 4GHz speeds if the right apps are used.
>They don't even care how much ram it has. I know this because I went computer shopping with my boss for work(yes for a PC). He wanted my help. Well little help I was he bought the cheapest computer he could get with 64MB of Ram I suggested we upgrade it later and he agreed well that was 2 years ago still it sits with 64MB of RAM in it. Oh and I might add it still has all the stickers on the front of it.
Well I didn't mention RAM, but I will now. Try running OS X (even 10.1) on ANY computer with 128MB of RAM or less. I have with my iMac 233 (w/64MB of RAM) and my iBook 467 (with 128MB). The iMac was a complete drag. My iBook is rather slow, but it works fine. My Cube G4 has 1GB of RAM and must be at least 2 or 3 times faster than my iBook, depending on what tasks I perform.
>These people don't care about this stuff all it's used for is mail and the occasional websearch and most people are like this.
Now this brings up a different issue (as well as MHz): OS Stability. Sure, XP may have fixed *some* :snicker: of the errors from older versions of Win. Yet it still isn't totally stable.
Wherever there is a PC for that stuff, there is a low-end PowerMac for them. It's called an iMac. :cool:

It would have been nice to put OS X on my fairly new 1.3 AMD, or even the 1.6 P4 at work (if nothing else than to save the TORTURE that was my Win98/2000 install from HELL, freakin' M$. Now I can Crash twice as fast!). But we know that won't be happening anytime soon.
Can't wait to get a new Mac to replace my old one (that I no longer have BTW) after I move. Maybe a nice Cool (pun intended) iBook (c'mon 1 GHz G3 + 32 MB vid card), or an eMac to play with untill I can afford a new Tower. Who knows what we'll have by then?
GigaHertz, shmigahertz. If I can run FCP off of a 320 GB hard drive in almost real-time with out the crashing, I'll be happy.
Another couple of months.
We'll see what happens.

I miss MS Visio and MS Project (or whatever its called with the Gantt Chart) There are Mac apps that kinda do the same thing - but just not as developed.

Ditto. With them and Frontpage in Mac Office 2007 I'd be set - as it is it looks like I'll be running my MBP with XP when at work. Can't do without those apps!

After updating my iMac 2.0GHz CD 2GB RAM 256MB GFX to 10.4.9, The Sims 2 now has corrupted graphics.
While viewing towns (all towns), terrain appears red. Then ingame (while controlling your sim) it is very dark and slow.
Could this be from the new Radeon drivers?
Town browser now appears as:

Actually, I put the blame on the ADC not for the price of the component itself(entirely), but rather for the limited customer pool that Apple can sell these monitors to because of its proprietary connector. Since they do not sell in high numbers, it costs Apple more per unit to produce, keeping costs high. If everyone went to ADC as the standard for monitor hookups, the Apple displays would be less expensive because they would appeal to a broader market.
So in my opinion, this has alot to do with the price disparity in Apple v. Formac, et. al. (Of course, there is also the part where Apple just charges more for their products because they are Apple!;) )

I wonder when Apple will admit that they were seriously wrong in staying with a single button mouse for all these years? Every other modern platform I can think of has standardized on 2+ button mice. (solaris/unix, windoze, linux, etc).
Hell, OS X even supports 3 buttons natively. Why won't apple just release the damned thing?
I guess Apple just has too much pride to admit they're wrong. :mad:
