it's the one that came before the QS. Powermac G4s progress thusly - Yikes! - Sawtooth - Gigabit - Digtal Audio (7450 models also called Clockwork) - Quicksilver. Apple people will know these code names for sure, but I think that these are generally recognised. The current models are basically Quicksilver, although they probably have a new name due to the speed bump and new CPU type (MPC 7455).
interesting, my DA (Clockwork) 733 whups my Athlon TB 1200 at the same task (although not by much to be fair). The DA's L3 cache must make quite a difference.
Yes, you REALLY DO grind the MIRROR yourself, and I've seen several self-cast and machined components too. Please don't spout off if you have no idea what you're on about. The hardest part with telescopes is measuring and aligning - then you've got to think about vibration... still, a friend of mine built his own optical bench for holography - now THAT was sensitive to vibration!
you're right! how on Earth Apple hasn't realised this over the last TWENTY FIVE YEARS of selling PCs amazes me. I guess this kind of insight is why you aren't a billionaire like Steve Jobs.
you're completely wrong about MS being on the Apple board - they don't even have a holding. the biggest lever MS has on Apple is it's commitment to producing Office and IE for the Mac, both are extremely popular among Mac users and Office is EXTREMELY expensive.
first Planet of the Apes and now Akira? Hollywood has been raping French cinema for years, now they seem to have turned on them selves and the Japanese. This is fucking atrocious news, accesibility my arse.
I agree with your assertion that Tekken Tag is pretty feeble, and that Soul Calibur is wondrous, but don't forget that you can also play Soul Blade PSX on your PS2, and that Tekken 4 is a PS2 title in waiting. I play Tekken 3 on my PS2 quite a lot, still just as fun in team battle as ever was.

I don't DO autofocus, but I se absolutely no reason why the AF should be slower on a D30 than on any other EOS SLR. There IS, however, a distinct shutter release lag compared to a film camera, and a serious lack of sequence shooting ability. My RTS III can do an autobracketing sequence of three frames in around the same time as the D30 manages one, not to mention that it can happily blaze away for 37 frames without missing a beat. Digital cameras should be able to BEAT that performance by rights, let alone match it.
I used to work as a PJ and plenty of people used to use things like EOS5s and Nikon F801s (N8008s), as well tough gear like EOS1s and F3s and F4s. I used to use two Contax 167s and an RTS3 - only got my beautiful RTS now:-] well, along with a little Fuji 2600 digital and a Yashica FX-D, that is...
Obviously, I want to see the N Digital, but the cost is just stupid when you compare with film - I also feel that the in camera processing and storage situation needs more time, Canon has done well with the EOS 1D in terms of speed, but I played with a D30 and found it's slow responses really hard to come to terms with. Don't forget, RTS stands for Real Time System:-] I just think that we're gonna see massive improvements over the next year or two, I'm sure that within 2 years we'll see a camera like the D30 at $750 or less anyway.

in my imagination Mosaic is way faster than Concorde too

either that or this is the groundwork for the XBox 2 CPU pitch - I think AMD could live without x86-64 if they got X-Box.
Bill giveth and Bill taketh away...
Astonishingly Myopic Decision?
Yep, and that price is probably MS' support for x86-64. AMD have GOT to have it or else their 64 bit strategy is in tatters.

same things that they always do, read spam in Hotmail, play Quake and surf for porn
you could use your cock as a joystick if you'd just stop wanking for five minutes. do you even know what "life" means?

As an avid Filemaker spromoter, I'm going to pretend you didn't write that.
I think that it's time you upgraded your brain. The model you have installed is designed for milkmen and forklift drivers.
you left out the hollywood ending
