But this is just a sideshow, the real action centers around firewire and QuickTime. Just wait, Jobs is going to blow everyone out of the water. While the Wintel world is responding to the iMac and iBook, Apple will be charging off in some other direction.
Folks, quit complaining about What Apple did, and what you don't like about the former behavior of Apple, just sit back and enjoy the show. This is pure entertainment. We will all profit from what Apple is doing now. they are pushing the technology, breaking the industry out of the doldrums of the mid nineties.
I am a Mac user and an aapl investor, and I generally cruise the investor boards. I am a Linux user, and if I could have, I'd be aRedHat investor.
BTW, I like Apple, but I LOVE the aapl stock. Doubled my money in a few months.
You can get a Mac with a 450 MHz chip these days. Very soon there should be 500 MHz versions available, tho I don't know exactly when.
Very soon, Apple is drying up the supply of existing models. You can get the B&W G3 at a steal. Look for them to make big strides in the high end laptop due to the delay in shipping the PIII for laptops. Intel is self destructing, and AMD and the PPC will profit.
well then, I guess all that genetically altered(mutated) corn grown in the fields has to be plowed under.
What will this mean to the teaching of biology in public schools in Kansas.
the Christian Coalition said that they wanted to take control of all the school boards, looks like they succeeded in Kansas. they said that they wanted to control the school boards, then the state governments, with the ultimate goal of Washington.
"We will control the agenda in Washington." Ralph Reed speaking at a Christian Coalition gathering.
Read one paranoid post about the support, for Linux by some PC vendors, is to help Gates win his DOJ case. If enough vendors declare support for Linux, Gates can say that there is indeed viable competition for windows.
I could see Dell or Gateway doing such a thing, but IBM and others wouldn't. Of course, if those PC vendors drop support for Linux after the case is decided, then maybe he was right in his paranoia.
Berst, I don't pay any attention to him. I turned him off when he did a review of Netscape and blasted it as unstable.(Federal Times) He didn't point out that it was an early beta he tested. he spent the rest of the article lauding IE.
But Capitalism can become tyranny if not regulated. Just as we should not tolerate political tyranny, we should not cower before the tyranny of the monied few.
Yeah, what will the Amiga do that can't already be done? Graphics and multimedia? Hmm?, we've got Apple, SGI, BeOS. Business, no We have a whole gaggle of OS's in that market niche. Home, yeah right, lets see you go up against the marketing might of Apple and others. Just where does the Amiga fit in? The Server market? No, we have enough testosterone in that market.
Amiga, you were a sweet machine, but that was yesterday, give it up.
I have seen an uptick in packages and catalogs from companies that do business on the web. The internet has helped our package business. Every office is connected to the net, and we have the largest intranet in the world. WebObjects, run throught NT boxes. Loral Letter sorters running QNX, also connected to an intranet. I see a lot of Amazon packages. I do get a lot of letters too. My route is in a low income neighborhood, so connectivity is low.
To rename a file in the Mac: click on the name under the icon, and type in the new name. Your friend must type *real* slow.;) While in the application, go to file, the click on save as, then type in the new name. 15 minutes? Did he RTFM?
You watch your hands when you type?;) That slows me down. Watch the screen or the text you are copying. Your speed will increase. That is especially important on those fast moving chat rooms.
With Via voice you won't need to type as much. I will get that before an iBook.
Well, going to check to see how my apple (aapl) stock is doing. It was up around 1 1/2 right after the Steve show. It has doubled in values since I bought. My friend chided me, saying I should've bought Compaq. HA HA!!!
Or if you were a spook for the ASA it's -... -.- * goodbye dear Morse code. Us old ditty boppers are a dying breed. Miss the days of defending freedom, copying morse with a head full of acid, bourbon, and weed.
*That's BK to the morse challenged.
Hey guys I don't give a shit who does what, as long as the tech moves forward, and we have the freedom to use what hardware and OS we choose. Hurray for Linux, Hurray for Apple, Hurray for java, Hurray for UNIX, Hurray for open and free software, fuck Microsoft!!!
SGI is having it's own troubles. It appears that many of the neato graphics progams that made SGI the end all of high end graphics are being ported to OSX.
Could the streaming digital movies being piped in from those dishes on top of your multiplexes be created on Macs, then transmitted from Darwin servers using Quicktime?
MS wanted Apple to knife the baby, QuickTime. They knew that that bit of code could be big trouble.
Maybe while MS was watching Linux, Apple was sticking the shiv in their back.
The corporate culture of Apple is different than Microsoft. I don't believe they will be as dictatorial as Gatesoft. Lets deal with M$ first, then deal with Apple if they start pulling a Microsoft on us.
BTW, OS9 will appear soon. X = 10
written on a G3/266 running LinuxPPC I rarely use the MacOS.
the codec doesn't belong to Apple, so they can't make it open source.

It gets better after the acid kicks in. Beeelllieveee mee. When there is a Mac version, I think I will devote a couple of minutes to it. Sounds like Andy Worhol would have liked it.
I don't know of a Mac user that doesn't know of the autostart worm. It is easy to let your guard down with the Mac, we are not the target of the crackers who are out to prove themselves or get revenge against the empire.That's one nice thing about being a niche market, sure beats the hell out of worrying everytime you boot up.
What's important is that we were told of it's existence. I cannot be critical of the coders, they are human(an assumption), and they have busted butt on this. Remember this is *not* Micro$oft, they will tell you there is a problem before they have a fix in place.
Darwin is a wild card. what is to keep da geeks from porting it to the Intel platform? Is this a backdoor way to knock NT off it's game?
Hey, this iMac of juniors is easy to use. Hmm wonder if I can use it at the office. It runs MS office, and it would look good at the receptionists desk, and that strawberry color is the same as our logo color.

If your journalistic career is not doing well, nobody is paying attention, just drop your drawers and utter gloom and doom predictions about Apple. Recycle rumors, feed into the bash Mac mentality, even though it has gone out of style. Even the "shorts" have stopped playing the Apple volitility game on WallStreet. Don, you're a year behind times, buy outs, bankruptcy fears, are as old hat as beige.
Better to speculate on the feeding frenzy if Microsoft loses the DOJ case. Can you say armies of lawyers? Now that wil be fun to watch. Every software company that feels MS has stolen from them, pressured, and squashed them, will be waiting for their chance to slice off a piece.
There are several core shareholders who will not sell, and that will hold the raiders at bay. Ellison toyed with the idea, but found that the investors did not like the direction he wanted to take Apple.
BTW, I bought in at 26 per share, now it is pushing 50 per share. It seems to be holding up better than some of the other computer stock. So, yes, I like Apple.
It is now too expensive to buyout IMHO, they should have tried when it was 13 per share.
I will be interested to see how the various Linux IPO's fly. this might not be the best time for an IPO, it seems the internet/computer fever has cooled. It's still good, but not as good as it was.
It seems that you are looking through the lens of a person that spent most of his time within the walls of a university, or in the company of techies. In the real world, most business users know just the one to three applications that they use for their business. Yes they can work their way through M$ office, but ask them if they have defragged lately, and they won't know what you are talking about. Most users don't know their computers, and most don't care. My wife is happy if she can use her word processor, and hit 30,000 in Tetris.
I venture to guess that most users, across all platforms, don't know and don't care how their computer work. Most Mac users I know, use them in publishing(newspapers) and Graphics, so I get skewed picture of the Mac user. They all know their computers inside and out. My niece is a DTP guru, she is Quark to the bone. She is a whizz when it comes to AppleScript, and does C like a pro. She is not computer illiterate, and she is a Mac user, and soon will be receiving a copy of MkLinux from yours truly.
I don't care if the Mac user is a power user or not. I am just glad they are Mac users.
My moved to Linux was political, an act of defiance against M$. I liked Linux and I stayed. Linux is perfect for Perl,love Gimp, and like the Soma effect of surfing on a very stable platform.

Microsoft only has to offer free internet service long enough to kill all competition. They can afford to do that.
It helps them ID hackers and crackers too.

from what I have heard, durability was a very high prority. these are aimed at the education market. It had to pass The deskdrop test.
