Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s
An anonymous reader writes "A class-action lawsuit was filed over Mac OS X not working correctly on some of the older G3's, and Apple has tentatively agreed to refund the purchase price of the OS ($129) to people who purchased it for use on those computers, and wish to return it." The agreement is not final. If you wish to continue using the OS on your computer, despite it not working fully, you can instead receive a $25 coupon. The deal will, apparently, apply to the iMacs through the fruit-colored models; the pre-chiclet iBooks; the PowerBook G3s; the first three Power Mac G3 models; and the all-in-one Power Mac G3.
not that they're planning any such sensible move, we're just making the offer.
the lights are coming up (no pun intended).
the stars were quite visible for folks who almost never see them, last night.
you can pretend all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you.
as to the free unlimited energy plan, as the lights come up, more&more folks will stop being misled into sucking up more&more of the infant killing barrolls of crudeness, & learn that it's more than ok to use newclear power generated by natural (hydro, solar, etc...) methods. of course more information about not wasting anything/behaving less frivolously is bound to show up, here&there.
cyphering how many babies it costs for a barroll of crudeness, we've decided to cut back, a lot, on wasteful things like giving monIE to felons, to help them destroy the planet/population.
no matter. the #1 task is planet/population rescue. the lights are coming up. we're in crisis mode. you can help.
the unlimited power (such as has never been seen before) is freely available to all, with the possible exception of the aforementioned walking dead.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. vote with yOUR wallet. seek others of non-aggressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit, moving you.
pay no heed/monIE to the greed/fear based walking dead.
each harmed innocent carries with it a bad toll. it will be repaid by you/us. the Godless felons will not be available to make reparations.
pay attention. that's definitely affordable, plus you might develop skills which could prevent you from being misled any further by phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated misinformation.
good work so far. there's still much to be done. see you there. tell 'em robbIE.
If I haven't seen it before, it is new to me!
I hate sigs.

"Informative," please.

... and stuff. pewp!
Yes, first
But the real apple news item for today is MS Office for mac being split into three versions, and VPC + Windows XP (2K I could understand, but this is just twisted) being bundled with the professional edition.
Do the majority of people say "Oh Ess Ecks" or "Oh Ess Ten"? I'm in the "Oh Ess Ecks" because it sounds l33t.
"Troll," please.
And it's sad since:
1) Apple's hardware is expensive,
2) Apple claims to provide relatively flawless products because it makes both hardware and software.
when in actual fact:
1) their products are no better than what "the other company" offers, and
2) users has limited compatibility with the current software/hardware market.
Eben Moglen? Is that you?
"Underrated," please.
Who's Eben Moglen?
