"Their spouses/children/grandparents and everybody else would quickly have told them the truth. "We're going out tonight and I want to record a movie. That Betamax tape is useless: it isn't long enough. Get rid of it."
because it says here:
"All of the video machines in use and all of the pre-recorded movies were Betamax. It had a de facto monopoly, and an element of lock-in (because of tape incompatibilities). It lost because, at the time, it could not do what consumers wanted: record a whole movie unattended."
how is it possible that 100% of pre-recorded MOVIES were on Beta, yet Beta tapes weren't long enough to record an entire MOVIE?
I think the author of this article is fucked in the head.
I also run OSX 10.2.3 on MY dual450 G4 - it runs pretty good, but my 733DA at work is a little snappier, and our Athlon XP 2100+ Winders machines are a LOT quicker. I also run Win2K on my 5 yr old Tosh PII 266 laptop, and it runs like a champ. The only SLOW computer I use regularly is an IBM 1Ghz PIII machine which is so slow it hurts to use it.
I think that the real difference that you're seeing is the superb performance of the IBM PPC 750fx - if Apple took the brakes off this chip and ran it at 1Ghz+ with a 200Mhz FSB, there's little doubt it would eat the G4+ alive.

It's SUPPOSED to be boring (read consistent and professional), not UGLY like Windows, or HALF-FINISHED like KDE.
The fact that you can run an OGL screensaver as wallpaper should make up for any degree of boredom you encounter.
An awful lot LESS fuel at a MUCH higher price, on average.

I'm sure that 100% DID vote for Saddam, as his was the only name on the ballot. In Europe we are very angry with the US' hypocricy over Iraq - we all know that Saddam is evil and should be removed, we all know that Ariel Sharon is a maniac and should be removed, we just don't understand why the Americans keep trying to justify their war with a UN resolution, when the US couldn't give a damn about the UN or any kind of international law. In six months time we'll likely have seen the back of Saddam at the hands of the US/UK armed forces - thence to see another Saddam installed in his stead, but with BP, Exxon and Shell pulling the strings. It's all very sad, and a little diplomacy could have got the whole free world on side.
yeah, Macs "come with" LCDs alright - if you order one at the same time. The Apple Studio and Cinema displays are very desirable as products, but chocolate-fireguard useful for colour critical proofing. Colorsync is OK, but not the whole solution.
even if that IS full cycle response time (it could be, I'll admit), 16ms still only translates to 62.5fps - that a good long way short of the 100fps that my HUGELY LESS EXPENSIVE CRT runs at. I like LCD technology, I just prefer the picture, price and usability (like multiscanning?) of a CRT display.
why are youtrying to do colour critical on a G-series monitor? Sony have an excellent F-series which is actually DESIGNED to do colour critical, and there's always Barco and other vedors to consider too. Not to mention the fact that SW colour calibration is an almost complete waste of time - do it with a hardware calibrator and it'll ACTUALLY WORK. In TV, we have almost no problems with colour matching our BVMs - just gotta get the right tools for the job.
when I bought my G400, what I really wanted was the F400, but no-one had any - that monitor was the absolute bollox - it could run 1280x1024 at 120Hz!! It had a 0.22 AG pitch!! I already work with an F500, so I know how great Sony F-series are, shame they're so difficult to get...
I'd take issue with you comments about LCD blacks, I've always found modern LCDs offer superbly black blacks, certainly better than FD Trinitrons of NF Mitsus can
and what's the AG pitch on your CRT? 1440x1080 on a 19" CRT is a fucking dreamworld, unless someone's gone and built a tube with a sub-0.2mm AG pitch and no-one told me. You should be running at 1280x960 on a 19", if you want to see the pixels, that is. You'd be able to run at 100Hz + then also, just like I do on mine:-]
you're wrong, of course. The quickest TFT screens have a lag time of 20ms MINIMUM - do the maths and you'll see that's really poor compared to a CRT. It also the reason why they're so ergonomic. Swings and roundabouts, innit?
well, you're blowing it pretty fucking good right now. Your cunt president is lining y'all up to be royally aresefucked by someone - quite why you want him to destroy you is anyone's guess.
and what - exactly - do you mean by we? America has "freed" countries in much the same way the British and Roman empires did, but at least they realised their imperial responsibilities.

the argument made falls down here:
"Their spouses/children/grandparents and everybody else would quickly have told them the truth. "We're going out tonight and I want to record a movie. That Betamax tape is useless: it isn't long enough. Get rid of it."
because it says here:
