Ahh! OK then, this DVD-R can hold up to four point seven Gigabytes. How much is that? Well, if you wanted to store all the information in a telephone directory on this disk, you could fit about five million separate directories on this one disk!
That doesn't make any sense - if 80% (plucked number) of users of your product use the MacOS version, why does it matter that there are 15X as many Windows PCs in the world? There are probably more ATMs in the world that Palm OS computers, doesn't make it sensible to write a calorie counting app for ATMs, does it?
err... I think you missed out ILLUSTRATOR (major competition Freehand), AFTER EFFECTS (major competition Shake and Commotion) and INDESIGN (major competition Xpress).
Adobe makes fine software that runs very well on the Mac - virtually all of it has strong competition, yet Adobe still does well. Adobe aren't afraid of competition, but they know when FCP / FCP Express / iMovie have killed Premiere, and that time is now.
You ARE wrong. FCP came from Macromedia, who had pinched Premiere's lead programmers to produce a Premiere killer (that's why FCP is so Premiere like - it IS "Super Premiere"). Macromedia had let the project founder, Apple bought it back to life.
Now, Adobe has finally admitted defeat. The Premiere killer has killed.
Why would you go to see it if the reviews suck? Is this uncritical sfx movie going the reason why Hollywood keeps cranking out such abominable sequential shite?
If we don't even boycott these craptastic celluloid insults, why would they ever change?

"The funny thing is I bought my first mac about 1 1/2 years ago and got it because of OS X. It was still a buggy slow POS so I started playing around with OS 9 (also buggy but significantly faster) and found I liked the discontinued OS better. Kind of funny really."
Not that funny, as I tend to agree with you...
I agree about the point-stick too - God I fucking hate trackpads (weird considering that I'm a Wacom bore). As to the 17" Powerbook in general - I don't like it much at all. To me, a lptop should be small and have great battery life FIRST, and all other features come second, thus I think the 900Mhz, 12" iBook is EASILY Apple's best notebook offering.
I was just trying to point out that the Toshzilla is missing quite a few features that the Maczilla has , and is a bigger and heavier package on top.
English usage is different to yours, a corporate entity is treated as if it were a plural because it's assumed to encompass more than one person's thinking.
The Apple machine is quite nicely lighter, longer running, smaller, has a magic lighty-up keyboard, has Gigabit Ethernet, has Airport Extreme, has Firewire 400 & 800 etc etc etc.
"So I bought a 12" iBook (which I'm not completely in love with, thank you Apple) and I'm determined NOT to have a huge, bulky laptop again. There is something about being able to use a little laptop for 4 hours straight without realizing you forgot to plug it in that seems... right."
Are you sure you've come to the right place? You seem to be talking SENSE.

Can you tell me what it means? Some kind of a hat for your Ass, presumably. My Donkey seems to get by without a hat, why would an Ass need one?
Is that guy's facial hair post-post-modern or what?
What a fucking dork!
No it doesn't, I live in England.
"Put it into terms that they can understand."

"Can she move a document to the floppy drive on her mac? No, and she has a masters degree."
Your mom can't afford a newer Mac than that? Just shows what post graduate qualifications are worth...
"Only sissies want modern conveniences like a car that doesn't need weekly adjustments... ...or one that can meet emissions regulations?
"It really pays to get those discount cards."
Some would say the impact on your personality is too high.

There are probably more ATMs in the world that Palm OS computers, doesn't make it sensible to write a calorie counting app for ATMs, does it?
That WOULD make sense if Adobe had done anything of the sort.
They haven't, so it doesn't.
I just wish that Adobe would develop some decent apps for Palm OS already...

Don't go spoiling this argument by bringing logic and reason into it!
Look, Premiere relies on QuickTime - how's that gonna fly on bloody Linux?

Is that a Hyundrai Accent?
What an unbelievably ludicrous machine to spend money on.
"It's really not funny."
It is - coz you did it to yourself.
"British English"
You mean English?
Out of curiosity, would you say "Metallica is touring Germany" or "Metallica are touring Germany".
For me it's definitely the latter, but I'm unsure as to how deep the American usage goes.

English is English, American a foreign tongue.
The Apple machine is quite nicely lighter, longer running, smaller, has a magic lighty-up keyboard, has Gigabit Ethernet, has Airport Extreme, has Firewire 400 & 800 etc etc etc.
And it runs OSX 10.2.6...

"Then again, the majority of home pc's are still slow pentium 1/2 or celerons, as that's all most mums and dads need."
