    I guess they saw apple doing it and thought it was a good idea.

  9. Re:Quartz2D vs what-the-heck Longhorn will do on The Future of Windows Graphic Technology · · Score: 1

    It is interesting that Apple has been doing an evolution of Quartz (leveraging the paradigm the put in place at the beginning) since it was introduced 4 years ago while MS appears to be trying to jump to it all at once with Longhorn.

    And that is why Apple has a product that is delivered on time and is complete while MS has a product that is 3 years late, probably way over budget, and had to drop a lot of features that would have brought parity with OS X.

    I just want to be able to send my backups from my mac (about 5-6 GB) to my Linux NFS export in a few minutes rather than a few hours.

    I need to buy the Gb cards for both machines and but a new router. my Powermac is hardline connected, so the wifi for my laptop will not slow down the data-rate between my desktop and server then?

    also, I do not think I am running the signal more than 100 feet at the most.
