First, there's rendezvous. Second, I hate (hate!) rebooting my machines. It's a major pain in the ass. I use lots of programs, have lots of windows open, keep lots of terminal sessions active. Rebooting and re-establishing my previous state is a massive pain in the butt. Target disk mode is right for some things, but usually not the best solution.
Any studio that can come up with Jabberjaw or the Hillbilly Bears has to have a crap factory back there somewhere. For more strange H-B history, check this out. I found it after staying up all night and came upon some god-awful H-B crap that involved tricking robots into electrocuting themselves.
Nah -- U.S. Acres was typically better than the Garfield sketches, I thought. I've never really been a cartoon fan, but I always thouht it was a great program.
That was actually my first response. My dad (who wanted to take me there) was all gung-ho about the speakers, but I actually couldn't stay and listen to them, I was so put off by teh combination of the quality and the price.
Like I said, it may be me -- I have a strange ear for sound, but I can definitely identify what just isn't satisfactory.
Seriously, though. I listened to some very, very expensive B&O speakers in their showroom, and I was astonished at how awful they sounded. No midrange and bass everywhere. Maybe it's just my ears, but it would take a vast improvement for me to ever consider spending that much money on their speakers.
You should take those seriously. Your computer is right now broadcasting its IP address to the Internet, allowing hackers to steal your secrets and kick your dog.
I'm going out on a limb, but I think you might have anger issues.
Calm down, man. It's a company with products and a CEO.

To think that I was under the impression that the desktop was the thing I never see (save a 1mmx1mm blue corner at the bottom of my screen) under my hundreds of windows.
I really don't understand why people want to use their desktops for pretty pictures or, worse, interfaces. Don't they have windows open?
Unified look, but awful usability. I'd rather have the programs that work totally differently also look totally different. A half-assed bitmap does not a UI make.

OpenDoc?
Re Enlightenment: Yea, they're replacing the application concept with window borders. Giant, highly functional window borders.
Dell? :-)
You mean we'd be able to buy GNU/eMacs in stores?

Easy to use, but not very similar to a Linux driver.

I hear they make 'stereo' equipment as well.

Are bottles of expensive perfume resistant to spilling?

Very difficult. They use two entirely different diver models. The Mac has the object oriented IOKit, while Linux is Linux.
I think that's actually the Enterprise.
Actually it blocks popups pretty well.
Unless you mean the OmniWeb 2 and 3 days, and you're right. Browsing in NEXTSTEP was always a joy.
That sounds worse than the first one.

Dibs on the bubble sort!
Mac OS X. It's Unix, sure, but so is Xenix. "Unix" is hardly specific enough.
I bet somebody's nipples would get hard if the scroll bar was bumpmapped.
Not only doesn't it journal, it doesn't exist.
Mac OS X uses HFS+ and UFS.
Yea, but it looks like butt and doesn't run the only OS I really care to use anymore.
I trust it'll have something to do with First Contact. Wreckage from that sphere or some such. If not, well hell.
Or he could just get one of these. $1299 for great software, burner, whizzy new OS, computer.
