Not such a good answer if you're the one doing the selling though. Or even better, if you're asking an associate to send some vital peice of information.
We've got about the oposite problem. As IS guys, theres not a snow balls chance in hell that we're going to convince the users to use something toher than office. We get shit when the people coming in to do research for us have to use a different statistics or email program than what they're used to, getting them to use a differnt word processor just isn't going to happen.
Here's a quick acid test for you: Change the subjet from "abortion preforming doctors" to "key devleopers of linux" or "top execustives at Microsoft," and see if you opinions change any.
You're refering to anti-dumping laws. In the US, a common misconception about them is that they protect the consumer from US businesses. In reality, they're designed to keep foriegn businesses from unfairly competing with US businesses. They don't do a thing to restrict US companies.
Ah, I missed that. My point is the same though about it running on a slow machine though. Running OSX on a cube is a touch unpleasent, so doing emulation through that must be even worse.
More as a reply though, I obviously must have read part of the article to know he was running it on a dual 533 celeron.
Another really sweetfeature of VPC is that you can have multiple image instances running at the same. Even better than that, is that you can network them together. I at one point had win200 running, and win 98, me, and 95 all up to check connectivity with it. Its a cool toy.
You'll note that he's using it on a dual celeron 533, which isn't exactally the speediest thing out there. Also, jsut to state the obvious, this means he's running this on x86, which isn't where most of VirtualPC's user base is.
You guys do realize that $63k is still quite a bit of money, right? Think how much higher that is than, say, a teacher. I know I work awefully hard, but I can't be working as hard as some of my teachers seemed to, with as few benifts.
I've got to agree. Its about the polish. Even being the computer nut I am, I've still had urges to not use a program simply because its interface looked poor. Even though we all seem to think its fluff, look is really important.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about Apple's pricing schema. It would seem that the you can only get the $999 modemless one if you're shopping for a k-12 instituion, with the other emacs going for $1199 and $1456. If you're a personal shoppeer, going shopping for higher ed, you're only two choices are the combo drive ones, for $1249 and $1516. Very to give a higher discount to the K-12 market...
Interesting. It come up for my school as $999. I still think Apple would be better off making one with a lower price point tthat that (if they could have kept it at $799, schools would have absulutly inhaled them). But also notice they went to a 17" monitor
That would really suck for the 30% of the population who can only blink one eye. And I'd be really consirnded to see how you emulate the middle mouse button.

Right, but that doesn't work on the firmware passwords, since you can't get to the Cd drive.

So NDS is owned by the Flash?
I'm not convinced that its faster processors keeping us from doing all of that.
Sorry, but QA actually has some serious value.

Good point. Do you remeber if tthe iMovie update came through it, since I know it has its own cd.

but you do get iTunes and IE updates through it.
Thats not really aa vacation. Think of it as being unemployed for 2 and a half months out of every year.

Hmm. I didn't much cre for linux/PPC. It had all sorts of problems installing on my B&W g3. Yellow dog's a champ on it though.
Hey, I was 16 when it came out, and I'd like to think I got most of it :-)
IIRC, I don't think you missed anything between that cube nonsense and beast wars.
But my has one on his bookshelf (made it allthe way through childhood, college, and now a few years after). And I'm still not allowed to play with it.

15 pounds of bigger monitor and heat sink?
Think thats bad, now notice thats it weights 50 pounds. The old crt ones only weight 34.7 pounds. What, did they add a lead base to it?
