and so i have... did it millennia ago! hey, it's no accident that life has evolved on this planet... it was all me. you're not so naive as to imagine that earth has always been in the orbit it's in now, are you?
that cuts you RIGHT out of the running! those two words that you used as a perjorative (in this case) are not two words but one, and it's 'morale' not moral... but i digress yet again... and in any case i think i may have mistaken you for a sentient being and have therefore wrongfully given you credit for being even semi-literate... silly me!
and you are not one of them, chump! i know plenty of sysadmins HERE in NYC that maintain wintel shitbox networx and they have Macs at home for DV editing and any number of realworld work tasks as well...
if you want the *best* performance of the Classic environment in MacOS X you should *not* partition them (OS 9 and OS X) apart, any number of well-placed Mac authorities have found this to be inarguably true. (King Crimson: "i repeat myself when i'm distressed... i repeat myself when i'm distressed... i repeat myself when i'm distressed... i repeat...")
Luddites... back in the day, college was not really necessary to do well in this society... now it is considered essential to have a college degree in order to get a piece of the American pie. It is much the same with computers, kids must be computer literate... must be exposed to using computers, period. And as to the 'rugged individualist cum libertarian' who believes the Feds should stay out of the game in EDU, I say that it states in the US Constitution that "We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." etc., and this rather famous document is the foundation of our Federal gov't, remember?
"you can pay me now or pay me late"r... meaning that if little Johnny or Sally can't compete in the world and end up slingin' burgers and/or go on some sort welfare, WE ALL PAY for it... let's not be penny wise and pound foolish, Mr. Bush (et al)
perhaps? maybe? ya THINK?? yes, absurd comparison... a luxury item such as a BMW is not at all comparable to the essential learning tool the computer has become... and access, not necessarily ownership, should be a right and not a privilege... we are talking EDU here, folks, and said access need not be in the home but should be a right of all kids in all schools at all times, at least here in the wealthiest country in the world (USA)
you need not partition to boot between MacOS 9 and OS X, matter of fact if you want the best performance from running Classic under OS X you best put them both on the same partition (word to your mother) and as i say, you can easily boot between straight-up OS 9 and OS X...
head in the sand? doubtless. here in New York City, i know FEW people that use Wintel boxes except when they are forced to... they have Macs at home. again i say: Apple is so very heavily capitalised that it is just not going to fail, never. 8 Billion dollars in cash reserves says so. and you should do a bit of reading up on MacOS X, beats bloody hell outta BeOS.
once again, encyclopedic ignorance... preliminary indications are that Apple users are totally juiced about OS X, Apple could hardly supply enough copies of OS X beta to the faithful Mac users out there who bought well over 100,000 copies of a BETA OS. Processor speed is at 733 MHz. Apple is not getting killed in price points by ANYBODY, and the NEW G4 PowerBook represents more bang for the buck than ANY other laptop, PERIOD. Moto has NO plans to leave the PPC behind, nor will it cease to provide PPC chips for desktops. Darwin is Open Source. You are a moron, get that sharp object away from your eyeball. Have a nice day.
indeed, Jobs ate crow at that resellers meeting (after his own fashion of doing so, that is)... and the characterisation by XBL of what Jobs had to say is as wrongheaded as can be... "Vas you dere?" Nope XBL, you weren't but i was and the room was, for the most part, overwhelmed by his acts of contrition (made, once again, in his own fashion) and plain talk... period, and end of story.
ok, lookie here... Apple is HEAVILY capitalised, has 8 BILLION dollars in cash reserves, more now than it ever has had and there are plenty of very large corporations of any stripe that would LOVE to be so intensely capitalised... oh yes, and the pc industry has had a slump lately, have you noticed? Apple happens to be part of that industry... Jobs killing Apple? not. Ain't gonna happen, as in 'never', get used to it.
in a word, yes: smash the ability that organisations have to use your personal data against you. tall order? well, it's a TALL glass.
