yeah i love al of those japanese cars with exactly 276hp, when they really rate at like 350hp. i specificly thinking of the Mazda RX7, the Nissan Skyline (R34, etc) and the Toyota Supra.
although this is caused by the japanese government placing a hp cap at 276hp, because you would never need more than that, ahem 640k, ahem, aahem. but the japanese gov. trusts the automakers and does no actual testing so twin turbo Supras would roll off the line pushing like 350-400hp.
the noise level is about the same as my girlfriends dell dimension. it has no cpu fan, but it does have one big honkin heatsink. i have 640mb of ram nad that seems to be sufficient. as for the graphics card, the ATI 8500 has dual head support but i believe you need an adaptor for Dr Bott to take advantage of it. OSX comes with all of the development tools youll need, project builder, interface builder, compilers, etc...
if i was to buy a machine now, i would spec it with dual 1ghz's and the ati 8500. .
one word to the wise, make sure you allow you mac to go through all of its schedualed maintanance tasks regularly, i think their defaulted to weekly. i was shutting down my box every time i wasnt using it for about a month and i became sluggish. make sure you let it run overnight so the maintainance programs can do their job, they run at like 1 am or something like that. but youd probably do this anyways.
Has she tried Mozilla, Opera, or Omniweb? theses are all excellent browsers available for OSX. theres also iCab and a few others that i am not too familiar with.
as for the mail client, is she using Mail? i love it. actually, up until i had OSX and Mail,i refused to use the various applicans, they never seemed to work correctly. im speaking of outlook and entourage on wintel pc as well as OS9 and OSX. something about Mail drew me in. but thats just my opinion.
is there any news at all on what Palm will do with BeOS? i wonder how much BeOS will influence the PalmOS. i seems a shame that such a good OS should die like this. i applaud OpenBeOS for their work at "reviving" what once was, even if it is stil linux.
my friends dad, down in dallas tx, makes his own diesel for his vw. he uses the leftover oil from fast food places, that apparently just give it to him. heres a link on another guy whos doing it linky linky he says he does it to recycle, not really for emisions reasons.
my chouce would be the hybrid electric civic or the vw tdi based cars, friends of mine say they are wonderful.
my win95 work box has no idea what a *.ps.gz file is or what to do with it. winzip is equally as helpless. even if i did un-gz it, i doubt i have anything that can read a postscript file. so i have two questions...
how do you go about un-gzing in win95?
and could some one mirror this in html or txt format?
its actually my girlfriends collection (and site), but she is a videogame history buff, so theres lots of info here too.
its gunna/. quick so watch out.

remove Flash. it destroys sites, reduces the intuitiveness of the web experience, and allows web designers to do "because they can."
not to say that the program is bad, ive seen some really cool art exhibitions of flash demos, but they are just not cool on the net. they remind me of tags.

its as simple as that, baseball players do it, and their breaking more records than ever, plus, their not stopping them so it must be legal.
