You don't have to. I got an IntelliMouse, plugged it into my Mac, and got full mouse functionality (left, right mouse buttons and scroll wheel) with no driver. I ended up installing the MS driver so I could turn the wheel-click into a 'back' button in my browser (wonderfully handy) but that's extended functionality. It works out of the box.
My roommate's boss used to print out all of him e-mails upon receipt. I thought that that was pretty dumb until I realized that he did it so all correspondence with a student could be kept in one file. Upon learning that, it made a lot more sense.
That's the real problem. Or when it's information that is even more useful to everyone in a freeform fashion (like my school's constitution and bylaws are in PDF. Very irritating if you want to convert them into a webpage or something crazy like that.

Exactly! That's what bugged me about the main post. The USSR was never a purely geographical region, it was a political entity. Why not change the.be domain to reflect the former British empire? Because it's gone and no longer relevant. All of the individual components are well-represented and there is no advantage gained by grouping them.
Most CEOs don't spent their time posting comments to Slashdot. They care about other things. That's why they have multi-million dollar salaries. Try asking them: I doubt they give the slightest bit of a crap what software their company uses as long as the employees are satisfied and it gets the job done within the specs.
Or this is their plan and IDG's move is convenient and works well for them. Either way.
I like how people assume that those in charge of Apple have absolutely no business sense. While that may have been true in the past, and Steve's track record is a little spotty (anyone remember NeXT's marketing plan? Right.), they're doing pretty damned well for themselves.
I have friends who did that sort of thing when they got DVD players.
And the real difference is that just about everyone agrees that DVD players are better. If you'd been using a DVD player for ten years and VCRs kept getting worse, you might be in that place. Especially if a great portion of your day revolved around using your DVD player.
Ah, but many new Mac users are old NeXT users, and if you recall, Sun was The Enemy back in the early '90s if you were a workstation manufacturer. Down with Sun! (Not really.)
They tried, but exposing them to Alan Cox kept shattering the expensive DV equipment. Then uploaded the video to their Linux boxes to edit it and forgot that it wasn't worth the effort. (For all of those with your panties in a knot, that's a joke. It's perfectly legitimate to poke fun at people.)
The hell you can't! Have you ever talked to a GUI person about the taskbar? Or the system tray? Or the start menu? Or their filesystem approach? Or the Explorer? Or their common file dialogs? Every place they've had to come up with an idea on their own (i.e., every time they couldn't copy part of Win95 from System 7) they screwed it up.

You're right: Recall that a mere sixteen years or so ago, everyone was still in bunches about Big Blue taking over the world.

What's up with the 'but' there? There's no contradiction in those clauses. They're both in support of a common goal.
Actually, it is if you already have a big file on the student.
That's pretty daft.
My roommate's boss used to print out all of him e-mails upon receipt. I thought that that was pretty dumb until I realized that he did it so all correspondence with a student could be kept in one file. Upon learning that, it made a lot more sense.
At least he didn't hand write replies.
Because people care.

And who is the publisher of Macworld magazine?
It's a much smaller plug/housing.

It's hosted by Macworld, the magazine. Not Apple.

Eh. I distinguish between typos and logical/structural errors.
We Linux geeks are right.

Nah, it's just 'cause it's better. No need to probe the psychology. It's pretty obvious.
Yea, but they've all long since died, so it's less of an issue. :-)

That's when it's preemptively multitasking. In a cooperative multitasking system, watch-out!
The never did it as a special-built option. You can get Zip drives as such, and you can always buy a retail USB floppy drive through the Apple store.
