I posted a link to a picture on my site a few comments up not long ago. So far at least half of the hits from macs are from a version of Safari that's panther-only. There's plenty of people out who've got the dev version(s), bound to be some older iMacs in there.
From all I've seen it's a little quicker than jaguar on all machines, and a great deal quicker on some.
I liked the little relief rainbow too, so much so I scanned the front of a Quadra 700 to make it into a backdrop. It has a nice sized rainbow apple logo, and sits on my OSX backdrop as a little reminded.
The pic is here. I forget the res, it's probably still 1024x768 from when I used to use an iMac. Do with it what you like.
This is exactly what I'd like to be doing on my system. I've had a couple of drive failures kill my web/mail server - due to my insistence on using hardware made the same time as the 68k it's installed on. It's a showpiece for ancient tech as much as a usable machine, and with only a single half-filled 700mb drive, It seems I'd be better served by a rather quick occasional snapshot of the system, rather than having a rebuilt drive ready before each failure. that'd be cool.
Similar sounding process - but different place. The machines I used were Fuji's Pictrograph (I don't know if it was LED or Laser) and a Durst Lambda - a gigantic machine that could throw out photographic prints on 50" wide, 164foot long rolls at 2ft/minute. *snif*. it was a nice machine. -really- nice:)
RGB printing via lasers on photographic paper is pretty cheap - the place I last worked at was pulling in some phenomenal profits getting out posters faster than they'd ever done on inkjet or electrostatic short runs - and for less cost while still charging what the market would take. That was a few years ago, so the situation may have changed there.
The biggie though is the flexibility of paper - photographic paper all looked like photographic paper. Thick, somewhat glossy, and unfoldable. That leaves it kind of useless for magazines, flyers, brochures, letterheads, and... anything except short run displays. It didn't end up cost effective for large runs, such as the tens of thousands of posters made for say, a movie release.
Hotmail (using both versions, 48 and 51) just tells me I need a javascript enabled browser, after trying to log in - javascript is on, and works elsewhere.
I've done a couple myself, especially when learning a new language, playing with different constructs provided, and finding those little unique 'features' that I don't yet understand.
If I can't differentiate between luckily stepping into a solution without understand it fully, and coming across something that the language SHOULDN'T do, I'll comment it as such. Not usually quite as concisely however:).
Around the middle of July last year the drive in my web server (a 10 year old 250mb SCSI) died. The first I knew about it was an error along the lines of "device is bolixed".
It's about the most accurate error message I've seen yet - within half an hour it just wouldn't spin:)
The prompting thing I think, is a pretty likely thing. It helps, if nothing else. After I was born, my parents and I lived in a house along a river, one which we moved out of when I was 2 and a half, and into the house we lived in for the next 20 years or so.
I never would have said I remembered the old house, until I went to visit it as the whole old street/riverscape it was in was being re-landscaped. Most of the houses in the street were empty having already been bought out by the local council, and my parents took the chance to take a look through. I can't say I noticed anything about the front exterior of the place, but once inside I knew it intimately - where the kitchen was, the bricked up doorway in one of the bedrooms, the sun room and the two steps that led down into it, it all came flooding back in general terms like that. The backyard was also familiar, in its curious shape (thirty feet wide and hundreds long), the drain underneath blackberry bushes right up the back... the way it sloped off to one side...
Everything -fit- immediately, in the way that it usually takes me a few weeks to feel I know where everything is in a new place. It was an experience:).
This is exactly what happened recently when a computer theft racket was exposed where young kids were sent to steal machines from schools here.
Whoever reported it wrote that kids were paid up to $AUS500 for each "hard drive" stolen from schools - the reality is kids were allegedly paid this much for stealing brand new fileservers and laptops.
Personally, I prefer the new sunken-look ones, but it's fair if you like the previous...
Talking to a few other mac people I know, they're acting like Apple is on crack for ruining a GUI by changing those few little buttons. The response seemed more volatile than when flowerpower imacs appeared

My sister used to work in a fabric store, and quite a bit of product from India was sold there. Rolls would arrive all bound up tightly in hessian and card, and need unwrapping/rerolling to remove the inevitable kinks in the rolls from shipping. In the middle of a roll of cream fabric were dark red stripes - which sometimes happens when ink is spilled, and that part is marked and avoided when it comes to selling. At the end of the red marks however, was a 2" sliver of finger, complete with partial fingernail and bone. ugh. At least it had dried up enough not to stink out the place.
My own personal worst was an eBay buy - a Mac IIcx that was bought "as is" as the seller had no way of testing it. No wonder, as it had been through a flood, was packed up with silt, and had a mouse nest up under the power supply, with lil mousey droppings n pee all over the place.

Yes! The amiga HAS to be it. the last decade worth of "but wait till you see what's coming!" is only a small taste of what's to come.
...ok ok so you can place an order for the motherboard of an Amiga One now!
But you can get the AmigaOne now!
alright... you can order the AmigaOne now!
Still gotta wait another 6 months for the OS. Hrm. that does sound suspiciously like "wait till next year..." again.
