And PPC support. I do like Applix, and I think that This will be good for Applix and FreeBSD. I'd rather back Applix than StarOrfice. Applix has been a friend of the Nix's for years.
I can't be happy because I am losing my hair, getting a gut, and my car is making a funny noise. What I am not unhappy about, is the fact that all my gifs were made using licensed software. If Uni cyst goes after anyone it would be developers using their tools with out being licensed. They won't go after my one transparent Gif on my non commercial site. Relax guys and gals, go back to worrying about internet tax hoaxes and herpes. Have a good holloweenie sweethearts. XXXOOO
But when it comes down to quality, I'd rather wait for a quality product, than have the shelves cluttered with shovelware like we see over at the Windows gaming section. Glad to see that they did the right thing.
I agree, we must try to make ourselves stand out from the crowd. Look at what Apple has done. they stopped playing the M$ game and struck out on their own. Linux needs to be different enough to make sure people don't confuse it with anything else that is out there.
I was disappointed the first time I saw KDE, it looked like Windoze. That, IMHO is not the way.
Lets not worry about what Billy boy is doing, let's put our minds to improving our product. We must understand that it isn't what's on the shelves, but what's in the pipeline that is important.
It has been interesting reading the various comments on Apple. I have noticed that there has been a change. I see less bashing on these pages. Maybe Apple is doing something right, or maybe we have a better picture of what they are trying to achieve. Probably both.
Lets face it, the only two things really happening right now is Apple and Linux. They are the ones pushing the technology. sure there are mergers, and some software breakthroughs, but they haven't had the impact that that little blue box and that fat penguin has had.
Go into an electronics store, they may not have the iMac, but the iMac is everywhere. It doesn't stop there, look at the new Colgate iMac biondi blue toothbrush. I'm not kidding.
This machine, the iMac has had an impact far beyond and above the computer world. they have put a friendly face on technology, they have ripped it from its beige, stodgy conservative image.
My wife, a technophobe is now using a green iMac. she has amazed me. She is reading and understanding the manuals. Her eyes don't glaze over when I talk tech to her. She has even learned some email tricks.
This is the big plus for Apple. they have removed the distance between man and machine. They have made a machine that a person can get emotionally attached to. It's too cute to fear. It has character.
You may not like the OS, or Steve jobs and some of Apples' policies, but Apple and the iMac could be the best thing to happen to the industry. those cute machines will bring more parents and their kids into the world of computers, and that is what we need.
Schwinn always emphasized selling that first bike to a kid. You sell him the first bike, and you have him for life.
You know that Ollie was the one who leaked the news of the pending attack on Lybia. The reporters came forward after he tried to make political hay by criticizing the media for printing the leaked story. The death of that pilot was partly his fault.
What was his role in the Heroin for arms in Viet Nam? That's where he met Richard Secord.
I was in East Africa during the USS Liberty murders. I will not forget, I will not forgive. For the truth about the Liberty I waited 30 years for the truth to come out. Please take the time to read his story.
Maybe someday we will get revenge for the murders of my brothers.
No Ollie was CIA, and had too big a mouth for the NSA. don't associate that scum with a fine organization like the NSA. That's an insult to all hard working honest NSA agents past and present.
NSA geeks make good drinking buddies. NSA, ASA forever!!! A tip of the hat to all present and former agents. You're the best and will always be my brothers and sisters!!!

We drank a lot, smoked too much pot, messed with the ladies, got in fights, and a lot of trouble, but we came to work sober (usually) and did our jobs(always).
We are the eyes and ears of the military. Pure and simple. The military branch is taken from the top ten percent.
Though our unit no longer exists, we still remember.. Vigilant Always
The NSA is your best friend and worst enemy. Best not to think about them, best not to worry about them, it won't do any good, it won't make a differnce. Anyway, their good outweighs the bad, just leave it at that.
Same here, Intel is not the end all of chips. Can't wait for those new PPC Linux boxes.

Intel is acting like they are afraid they will lose control. I'd say it's about time!
What the non Wintel companies learned, you will lose if you play their game. What Apple and other companies have done is re invent the game. I like firewire, I like QuickTime, I like Linux.
We are reinventing the game, we don't need MS or Intel, we have AMD, we have PPC. MS office, who cares? Star office or Applix is just fine thank you. Even AppleWorks does all a businesses really needs. USB 2.0........ yawn!
Why would my wife need a floppy on her iMac, when she can put 5mgs of info on her email account with ZDnet? I have a G3, and I have as yet to use my floppy drive. I also use an e-mail account for storage when I travel. I don't have to carry discs around. The floppy is ok for you retro guys. Wonder if I could back up some of my graphics on a floppy?
I have a whole drawer full of floppies I never use. I even have HyperCard, all seven discs. What a pain it is to install software using floppies. Glad Apple is leading out of the eighties.
This happens every quarter. Whenever The Steve stands before the troops, the site turns into cold molasass.
Just wait for those G4 chips to hit the laptops. From what I read, they run even cooler than the G3 chip. A 500MHZ Powerbook running LinuxPPC, surfing wireless using the airport, while you are sitting on your roof, catching a breeze. Now that is how it is done.

There is already stories of people buying the eMachine thinking that it was an iMac. If Apple can pull a few of these people in, more the better. They need to get an injunction on both companies pronto!

You are so easily led, it is a hoax that started in canada. Do you believe everything that is said on the internet? The rightwing hate groups are using the internet to manipulate people. so consider the source, research everything that seems inflamatory.
Once again, it is a hoax. Cool down, relax, drink decafe, and Stay off the jolt for a day or two.
while you are doing that, I am off to Tennessee looking for hot sex and good BBQ, not necessarily in that order.
Big Business is a much bigger threat than the government. You can vote the government out, You can't vote Bill Gates out.
Get your head out of your ass. this is a hoax, it's been floating around for months. the rightwingers and pro privatization crowd have been pushing this rumor for months. You've been duped, by those who want the post office to be turned into another high profit, minimum wage sweatshop.
As I remember the bill that they say in the text, doesn't even exist. The prefix is not the prefix used by the US government. the lawmaker who supposedly is pushing the bill does not exist.
They are playing on your paranoia. Spend less time listening to the guys from Christian Idenity , the GOP, and Neo Nazi groups, and start researching these stories before you open your yap.
This whole thing is a HOAX, there is no truth to this. First, The Postal service is a separate business, it receives no money from the government. ALL of its revenue comes from the sale of postage. This hoax is more anti government right wing bullshit.
Us postal workers bust their butts everyday. The lazy government worker is a thing of the past. My route is 10 miles long. I have to fight off the pitbulls, crack dealers, and drunks all day so you can get your Linux Journal.
Anyway, the post office is making a profit, they have embraced Linux, and QNX to run their OCR's. They do use NT for non essential uses. the supervisors have W98 at their desks. That keeps them busy and confused, and out of the carriers hair. Notice the number of killings at the post offices have fallen? The supervisors are so busy trying to keep their Wintel boxes running they don't have time to harrass the workers.
I am a mail carrier and LinuxPPC user. And so far, I have turned two fellow workers to the Mac and one to Linux, and one has gotten the hots for Free BDS. ------------------------------------------------ --- Fight mediocracy, don't use Microsoft products.

That's why god invented external drives.
The top line machine has a 10gig drive. Not bad, but I'd still would want an external for LinuxPPC.
