Quark is going nowhere You got that right! Quark does the least it has to to maintain it's code. It wasn't until QE 6.5 that the interface on OS X looked good. v3.32 is still the most stable version I've seen and it runs quite nicely under classic...
We have an install of Quark XPress 3.32 along with Quark Dispatch 1.0. It's running on 9600 class hardware and performs a VERY important function here at work. The hardest part about maintaining this system is finding replacement parts for the hardware.
It was never 'your' computer. If it was running Windows, it was either MS's or the 733t 4aX0r5 who got through its security. Your computer, such arrogance, Thud457!
Ooops! I lied. I totally forgot about the other standardized test(s) I hated: the *SATs. (I didn't really like the Achievement Tests either, but the APs were fine, I got something out of it...20 college credits for three exams (Chem, BC Cal, Pysics B)
When I was in middle-school (5th-8th grade in NJ ~1983) the teachers seriously expected us to do 1-2 hours of homework for each subject per night. Needless to say, I did ~30 minutes total a week. We were graded on both achievement and effort. So, a 1A means you did really well and tried hard. I got a whole mess of 1Cs and 2Cs throughout - scored well on the tests, did no homework.
What did I do with all of my time if I wasn't doing homework? I played outside; I played piano; and I watched TV.
We did a survey in 7th or 8th grade on how much TV each kid in the class watched each week. I believe the data points were going to be used for simple statistical analysis or something. Anyhow, the average was something like 3 hours a week (which I think is BS. The kids were just lying to please the teacher.) I was honest and logged something like 20 hours. Who was kicking their asses all over the place in math? I was.
Now the problem in MA (as I see it, I have no kids) is that children are being taught in school to pass the MCAS exam -- that's it. What they learn via homework is what they were really supposed to learn in school. I really hate standardized tests.
I think I only took one a year through 4th grade -- the California Achievement Test. Does that still exist?
It could be an exclamation like, THINK PINK! or DROP DEAD! Different is being used as a noun here and the sentence/idea could also be written as "Think (in a way which is) different" or "Think Different" rather than "Think Same" and be like everyone else. You're not thinking differently, you're thinking of different ideas. Now go back to ESL class.
I've had no problems with Spotlight so far. However, I have a 2x 1.8 GHz G5 with 3.5 GBs RAM and one HD and rarely attach external FW drives.
I've used Spotlight to help me organize my GROWING documents folder. Each and every document I've created since owning my first Macintosh SE in 1989 is in there. It's a mess. I started pulling the low-hanging fruit out first: Invoices and Taxes. Spotlight has been a GREAT help.
Once O'Reily comes out with Spotlight:The Definitive Guide, Spotlight:The Missing Manual, or Spotlight in a Nutshell I will make more effective use of it.

Shouldn't the "then" in the title be replaced with "than?"
I should have clarified: I can't get wine that's not already distributed in MA via the mail.
The reason your package went from MA to CT to MA is weird. I know that if I were to FEDEX something across the street it will go to their hub out-of-state and come back. There is some law that makes that necessary. You figure it would be sorted locally and left locally, but it isn't.
You're not from New England, are you? I remember back to the no so distant past when:
1) I couldn't buy booze in a package store in MA on Sunday (except for Sundays between Thanksgiving and New Years, I know, nuts). (changed in 2004 or 2003)
2) Retail Stores didn't open until noon on Sundays. (changed in 1994)
3) A company or person can own no more than 5 retail liquor licenses. This is why the Trader Joe's in Cambridge can sell wine/beer while the one in Swampscott cannot. I've heard that there are 5 Star Markets in MA that sell beer/wine...
4) Can't drink beer an bowl.
5) Can't buy a pitcher of beer just for myself. (Stupid Happy Hour regulation!)
Apple isn't the only company that 'overcharges' for RAM. Look at IBM, HP, and Dell. I'm sure you could also find 400 GB SATA drives cheaper as well on pricewatch.
Another use of the low-end 1.8 GHz PowerMac G5 is for a workgroup server. Runs headleass, can stack quite a few of them together, up to 800 GB internal storage, FireWire 800 for external, slot to put fiber channel card, slot to put extra NIC, slot to put extra FW 800 card.
It would do quite well as a web/mail server for a small company as well.
Yeah, but can you format a floppy while doing all of that as well?
I thought not.
PC's RULE!!!
(For the youngins: The "format a floppy while..." is one of the arguments used back when Macs had floppies and cooperative multi-tasking and Windows PCs had pre-emptive (to a degree) multi-tasking to prove that PCs were superior.)

kind of like, "let them score so we can get the ball back."
The console is the loss leader (milk, 2 for 1 cases of soda, etc) and the games are the candy-bars at the check-out line.
No, you didn't master it. You did your homework. Silly.
I'm sorry. That was the Esperanto l33t sp34k.

That's all for now...
This ruling will have the biggest impact on States with a) vineyards b) protectionist laws regarding shipping of wine from out of state.
It really won't affect me in MA as I can't get wine shipped to me at all, legally.

They got rid of floppies because you couldn't do anything on the computer while you were formatting it...
maybe the other OGG user showed up from the future wearing a retro nerd-fit just to fit in in 2005. Here's the linky.

You forgot one thing...
On a Mac you still can't browse the web AND format a floppy at the same time.

Good point. I just decided to continue typing after the first sentence and never went back and removed that line...
