Ok, maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. If you develop code for a company for free, you have a copy of that code on your computer. If the company takes your freely developed code (which you already have on your computer) and puts it in a nice pretty package a you buy it, that would make you a moron for paying for what you already own.
OTOH, if you feel that the modifications that the company has made to your code, or the ad-on features are stuff you didn't want to cade but you wanted to have, and you feel the price the company is charging is worth paying for those features, then you paid for the features and not the code you already wrote.
Nope, never did mail them any money. However, I have attended concerts of artists for which I have downloaded almost their entire catalouge of music. I have bought their CDs, and even bought their compilation CDs (even though I already have such music on other CDs). I've likewise spent money on their merchandice and even worked at their concerts. I've promoted them, supported them and even bought their sheet music when it was availible. I think I've more then compinsated for downloading the music.
Wasn't there a post when 10.2.6 came out regarding installing these updates without having to bring the whole system down for a restart. It was a lot of work, and essentialy did the same thing as a restart but it kept the uptime clokc running
You will also find a good portion of them lack CD ROM drives. Just about anything thinner than 1 inch does not have a CD ROM drive, and most of the ones I saw were about 1.0 - 1.3 inches thick. So no, the Powerbook is not "much thicker than many equivilents"
Well, there are the user friendly instructions for doing whatever Apple deems a user serviceable upgrade included with the computer. Then there are the technical documents on the developer website. Not so much information for taking apart so much as tech specs on everything inside. Then, you can plug a search into google for the Apple Service Manuals. Besides, no manual is really needed, just take out the screws as you see them and remember where they go.
I don't know about apple, but I had an HP printer that they were serious when they said opening the case voided your waranty. Apparently they had dye packs in the case. Lots of fun.
2,200 for the laptop/desktop - 280 for the docking station = 1,920 for a laptop that can be used as both a laptop and a desktop model computer anywhere at anytime without having to find or bring a dock. That's worth it in my book.
My guess is the reasoning here is they want you to buy the ones with the superdrive. At that point you really don't need any other optical drive bays. OTOH it would be nice to see them add the bay back in. It may happen in later revisions.
cosmetic damage is almost never covered by waranty. I suppose you could see about generatign a waranty covered failure and getting them to fix it, someimes they're nice and replace damaged casing when you send it in for a regular repair (did that with my iBook)
Those were kit computers though. I think that home computing among consumers was probably first reached by cmmodore, but the first modern home computer, that would have been apple
On a desktop maybe, but if you're used to a 2 button mouse, then chances are you have one already and it isn't the stock on that came with your computer originaly, and assuming it's USB, will therefore work on the mac.
I was specificaly refering to using a trackpad on a laptop.

Screw that, I want to see a list of the RIAA's STARVING artists.
Anyone who buys from someone else something they already created is a full blooded moron
On sort of the same note, does anyone know what a zombied process is?
It's still there. Under the importing preferences, select a custom bitrate It will go all the way up to 320
Keep a copy of the old iTunes app locked away on a disk immage, update and replace.

Actualy, if he was an above average user, it would be less bandwidth for you given that loosing a high number is going to bring the average down.
Mac users complain very loudly when something doesn't go right.
1.18 inches thick is much thicker than equivilent Winbooks? Or maybe you meant the 1.1 inch thick models? Or maybe the 1 inch think ones?
Which apple powerbook is much thicker than many PC laptops?

you should search for the Apple repair and technical manuals, and not the ones you find ont he developer site.
So would you expect Red Hat to support Debian? Or Gentoo to support SCO?
Amazing, a company that has no interest in supporting a competeing product. WHo would have thought that could ever happen
Easily.

True, but it's easier to let the dregs of society wear themselves down while everyone else rallies their defenses.

this has been possible on the i and power books for a long time. The issue they are concerned with are people like me who turn processor cycling off.

or you could go outside like any normal person and play real football.
