I have to copy a lot of files around in preparation for a build of our software, and copying about 50MB (one single file) via Gigabit Ethernet is much slower than XP. The best I can get is 10-13 MB/sec. It should be much much faster.
When I have to copy hundreds or thousands of files to/from a server, it's painfully slow too.
I've had both Vonage and Comcast Digital Voice. In my opinion, the Comcast service was much better than Vonage. The audio quality was better, and there was no annoying lag. With Vonage, nearly everyone I called complained about how awful I sounded on their end (my end sounded fine).
Of course, this is just one data point. But I wouldn't buy Vonage again.
It's interesting to hear all the rumor and speculation about the forthcoming Mac OS 10.1. After looking at the developer builds of 10.1, it seems clear that the only choice for a high-performance graphical environment on the Mac will be Linux.
Even 10.1 has hardly any 2D graphics acceleration. Launch times are faster but the GUI is still slow slow slow.
As soon as there's a good NVIDIA driver for PowerPC Linux, I'll be switching.

Your point is mute.

I wonder how long it will take before Apple's legal team springs into action over this name? :)
