apple is gay
2nd post ?
he meant homosexual queer faggots.
Do I get an opinion?
Another mistake by Apple.
Don't get me wrong. I spend my time at work using a PII 350, an AMD 500 and a dual 1.2Ghz. G4. Trust me, I can spot the deference. My home unit is a custom 2.5Ghz Barton with a Gig of memory.
The Apple actually is Slower in several aspects than the older G4(800) it replaced. (It does render faster, but idiot things you take for granted now take far longer than it used to.)
And OMG does it blow heat! it uses a close to 7" square all copper heat pump type passive heat sink. This feels like a hairdryer at the power supply exhaust, I know people that are worried about leaving them on overnight, I am not kidding.
And we actually have two Pentium-Pro 200's that actually are still going and going.
I did have to replace a power supply in one of them.
My point is that Apple should have open-sourced its software a long time ago.
They make their money off of hardware sales to begin with.
With the Semi-Open Hardware model it has always had (Except for the one open hardware fiasco.) Combined with open source software is a match made in heaven.
But, No they have to pull stunts like this.
Apple just carved off a tiny bit of their market share.
Too many letters... RIAA... joke... argh... *falls asleep*
You sure put the coward in Anonymous Coward.
i was using my dell laptop pentium III 900 MHz ...
i on reactor is spewing out helium at an usable rate
on the AC/DC adaptor.
then the power went out, put it didn't
just stop! my whole appartment like
flickered for about 5 sec bevor total shut-down.
(say twillight-zone!)
of course the laptop keeped running on internal
battery. i was really astounded because
normally it just goes flick-and-blackout,
not flicker-flicker-flicker-blackout
is it possible that the 900 MHz chip, internal
battery and AC/DC adpator stabilized the
transformer for a short period (5 sec) somehow?
i just lost my internal modem : (
but since my NdFeB-belt-accutated-alu-copper-butan-heated
fus
i don't have to worry about does flick-blackouts anymore : )
i also get to recycle my waste water with the superheated helium!

Congrats, you have just been trolled.
To whoever moderated this post as a troll... ... meet you in M2, you cockbiter.
How would you kind folks out there set up a GNU/Linux type of computer for a complete neophyte or for, let's say, grandma?... The question might be reframed more properly depending on the difference between your expertise and any computer experiences of the complete neophyte.
. . .and why you're living in your mother's basement.
