    with everyone and there sister running for the gig, what makes you think you have the slightest chance of winning?

    i don't mean to sound negative or anything, it's just that i see high profile names like Arnold Swartzenager and Larry Flint over powering everyone else, just because they happen to be in the public eye a hole hell of a lot more then Georgy Russell.

  12. Re:You are mistaken. The altitude is given in feet on Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the full quote goes
    CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications under the following conditions:
    use of certain external peripheral products
    use of battery power instead of AC power
    use of certain multimedia games or videos with special effects
    use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections
    use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided design applications
    use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)
    use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5C to 35C (41F to 95 F) or >25C (77F) at high altitude (all temperature references are approximate).


    i like the battery power, and software bits myself...

    "yeah, the CPU runs at 2.8 GHz, but as soon as you load an OS*, it reduces itself to 1.7 GHz"

    *some people would say that Windows XP counts as "multimedia games or videos with special effects"

    what do you people do to your notebooks?!? (they get to hot to actually go in the lap :P ) my TiBook has made contact with the floor twice, and both times it was a 3 foot drop! (slit off the bed) the only time i've done any real damage to the thing is when i had it stacked precariously on-top of a bunch of stuff on my bed and it slid, very slowly into the corner of my headboard leaving a nice dent in the back of the screen, it still works fine though.

    although i do have to agree with the computer in book bag comment, i am rough on my book bag, weather my TiBook is in it or not... :)

    Apple hasn't improved their font management at all since they added the font folder back in OS 8 (or was it 9?), it was due for an overhaul.
    it was System 7.0 (or maybe 7.1) and i agree the OS X system needed an overhaul, but the classic system worked just fine.

    It's surprising how many people believe Apple doesn't sell an office suite

    AppleWorks 6 qualifies as an office suite, as much as Microsoft Works 4 qualifies as an office suite, sure it does the job, but not very well, and it's old too.

    hell, TextEdit (included with Mac OS X) is almost as good as the AW WP module (and it's source code is included with the Mac OS X Developers Tools!)

    free PCI slots are all well and good, but if you can't find an SATA card with an mac OpenFirmware compatible BIOS, your SOL, the card is uesless..

    after doing some googling i have come to the conclusion that there are exactly zero serial ATA cards that work in macs.

    the situation isn't much better for parallel ATA, i can count the ATA/133 controlers that work with macs on one hand, and they are all funky hacks that pretend to be SCSI controlers!
