Thank you. You might be right about the PB12". The price of a pb 12" and, the powermac I am considering is about the same. (I just can't resist that DVD-R). If I buy the powerbook I can sell my iBook, which then totally makes out to less cash. I think of seting the price to about 1000 euros. I even know of two people drooling at iBooks. They might not like my 8mb ati card.
Okey. Just wondering. I never considered a PowerMac before due to its price, so I did not know this. However as they now are getting cheaper I think its time to look in to this machine. It would be nice to be able to go dual display. Yesterday was thinking that the 12" PB would do the trick, but the price is high considering that I own a less than 1 year old iBook 600.
Will the Radeon 9000 be able to dual display on a pair of 19" and 17" crts?
Did I miss something, or is the prices without a monitor. Im trying to build one at Apple store now. Why would they quote prices without a basic display.

>Apple could just about buy back all their public shares with the money they have in reserve.
How is parent insightful? Ignoring the fact that if Apple started to buy back their shares, stock price would go up. Isn't the stock market fun?
I read some years ago that Microsoft refused to make a 'nynorsk' version due to the high development cost. $3 million they claimed. A high price compared to the income they could expect returned from the small minorty that use 'nynorsk' in Norway.
This price seemed a bit to much for me. Gramaticaly the two norwegian written langauges differ little in actual grammar and sentence building. So word by word replacement should do most of the trick.
KDE and Gnome and their office like replacement apps have been available in both languages for a long time.

No. I am afraid I never paid for the copy I have. Come to think of it. The guy that gave me the cd did not even get money for the CD-R he burned for me. I do not use Photoshop proffesionaly. In fact I do not use it much at all. I am a student and could not possibly afford to shell out the $600+ for a piece of software I hardly use. One of the reasons why I look forward to the day I can replace it with The Gimp.
Photoshop is the only software I have an illegal copy of.
I do prefer The Gimp. Its interface, its free plugins, and the nice support for Python scripts. As for the interface its probably because I started out with The Gimp. For others that startet out with Photoshop it is the other way around. The Gimp functions more than satisfy my hobbyist needs. For professional use, outside web development, Photoshop should be better. But I'm more like a programmer.
Its easier to compile The Gimp for OS X/GTK than to create a separate tree for an Aqua version of The Gimp. This goes for a horde of other gtk applications as well. Now if only they would make a Gnome library for Aqua I could use Gnome applets in my dock. This is good stuff. Im looking forward to throwing out Photoshop in favour of The Gimp.
That would be 320x200 with 256 colors is/was mcga. That sure brings back memories. As other posters mentioned cga was 4 awefull colors. White, black, purple and cyan if memory serves me right.

We would never release the source to everyone. It has been released to
Derek who knows how to handle it, and when to release which parts of it.
I trust him, and I am sure he will release what's needed, at the most
convenient point. If you have trouble with that, then go reverse engineer
css yourself.
Oh, this guy really wanted to help the linux community? How? Releasing
binary only module for CSS decoding? Or how should the linux community
use his CSS hack without the source?
When you read about Jon Johansen you shold realize that he is not a hero. Not only did tok credit for stuff other people did, he broke the GPL. http://people.debian.org/~kju//decsstruth.txt. However one thing he did not do was break norwegian law. The aternoey representing the state is even having trouble figuring out what illegal he has done.

I tried out Chimera 0.6 yesterday. It has serious performance issues on my iBook 600/640. As far as I can see only one page can be loaded at a time, making the browser useless while loading tabs in the background. When scrolling Chimera hangs for a split second every 1/4 page or so. After about 5 minutes of browsing, Chimera crashed.
I'll stick with Mozilla for now. Its quicker, and it does not crash.
Thats interesting. On my iBook 600mhz with 640mb ram and Jaguar Mozilla is up and running after about 11 seconds. Internet Explorer, which I just dragged out from my trash to test this, starts in about 6 seconds.
Mozilla is slower, but I like its option to disable selectable parts of Javascript, and tabbed browsing. And its free(speech) software.
I'll put IE back to the trash, and you should try to figure out whats wrong with your OS X install. If you Mozilla a shot you might like it.
Mozilla (1.0.1)tends to hang for some seconds every now and then, but it never crashes on me. IE crashes.
Sound has no speed in vacuum. So there should not be problems with sonic booms. Remember the old saying; In space no one can hear you scream. At least this is what I've heard from others. I have never been inside a vacuum myself.
You can also create a link with ln or ln -s. If you use this kind of link, Unix, Cocoa, Carbon, and Classic applications will happily follow it.
This is not completly correct. I have used Linux enough to figure out that a seperate partition for/home is a good thing. So when I installed OS X for the second time I wanted this. After hours of googling I still havent found out how to get X to mount my newly created/Users partition to where it was supposed to be. So I solved the problem by creating a symbolic link.
That is when the trouble start. Mozilla of all things didn't handle symbolic links very well. When I downloaded files Mozilla would corrupt their filenames like 'ASDZZ23.dmg' etc. So the solution then was to use Mozilla for browsing, and firing up IE whenever I needed to download a file. IE did (and no other apps) had this annoying problem.
Anyways, symbolic links are not handled perfectly in Os X. I gave up on the linking and keep everything in one partition now.
One small error in your comment. Phil did hook up the powerbook to the printer by an ethernet cable. There was no wireless in the HP printer. But yes, Phil used airport to connect to Steves iTunes library.
I don't think that will do the trick. I believe the way they will figure out if a Linux port is worthwhile is by analyzing the stats for clients connecting to their online game server. So buying just for 'supporting linux' is not the way to go it. You will have to actually play the game. Or if you wish, keep loging on and off their server all day.

>it's using USB2 rather than Firewire
That would be wrong sir! Its only USB 1.1 (got time to wait?) with and option to add FIREWIRE or USB2 support. Didn't see the price.
From the specification:
Interface: USB 1.1 (PC & Mac). Optional interface : USB 2.0 (PC) or FireWire (PC & Mac)
Thank you. I am in one of the lucky coutries btw. :)
Do you have evidence to back up this statement?
