And to answer all the "Ack! A one-button mouse!" along with this, I use Photoshop 4-5 hours a day on a mac, and 1-2 on a windows machine. I have my MacAlly scroll mouse set up so that the right button is option-click, and the scroll button is control click, as I do a lot each day with the clone tool. Much faster having that option.
That people are seriously saying that Windows has a better UI than the Mac amazes me. Were they all born after 1984?
If anyone remembers the old Donahue TV show, it was never about balanced discussion, but rather about pushing his agenda into a talk show format. He'd usually have 3-4 people for one side (the side he believed in) and 1 extremist on the other side for he and his guests to belittle and ridicule. Sure, he's owed a debt of gratitude for some of his ground-breaking shows, but on the whole, he was Geraldo with the chair-throwing.
Mac : $4000 for the top of the line, high-end machine
Dell : $1000 or less for a bare bones system.
Compare like systems, though, and the gap closes significantly.
That being said, Macs cost slightly more initially, pound for pound. No one is arguing that Apple is not a premium brand in the computing world.
Cyber-men in the new series will ignore gold dust, you'll need platinum dust to take them out now.
And Daleks? Install Windows Me on them. That should completely immobilze them.
Is that you are scanning the film itself, rather than than a print made by some clueless photolab worker. It's always best to go from film rather than a print when scanning, if possible.
Best bet for color accuracy and widest range of potential use is to scan the neg twice, once with as little adjustment in the scanner software as possible to keep and modify as needed later, then again, adjusting it to get the output you want right now.
As for organization software, I thought Canon Zoom Ex Browser was nice. Then I upgraded to OS X and iPhoto. Amazing.
Atari = Lame graphics, lotsa games.
Coleco = Better graphics, not as many games.
But.
Zaxxon and Smurfs.
And don't tell me you never tried to find the topless Smurfette easter egg.:)
And I'm STILL waiting for Tunnels and Trolls to be released for the Colecovision.
"Apple. Computing with no boundaries"
Seriously, Jobs and Co. are probably drooling at the thought of this going forward and mucking up everyone's attempt to use their PC's for what they have become accustomed to, not to mention the added cost involved that will level the price playing field even more.
Once the genie is out of the bottle, there's NO WAY to squeeze it back in. The growth of Napster alternatives since the RIAA shutdown shows this clearly, and an alternative OS that allows people to have what they are used to will suddenly look really, really good.
Good Lord, the confusion this would bring to a client/server environment running different OS's is mind-boggling.
I use it daily for notes in my classes with my ancient Visor Solo. The coolness factor of the keyboard folding and unfolding is off the charts, and it's very easy and natural to type on.

What happens when America's Toughest Sheriff (just ask him, he'll tell you he is, but only if (http://www.arpaio.com/main.htm)a tv camera is near) meets America's Toughest Monopoly?
Sergio Leone, where are you now that America needs you?
which performed so poorly at first over Vietnam it was quickly reworked. A few F-111's were configured for carrier landing tryouts for the Navy (IIRC they were F-111B's, but don't quote me). The Navy realized they were turkeys incapable of carrier landings (whups), pulled out of the project, and ran straight to Grumman to get the plane they wanted/needed, the F-14.
VIFF (Vectoring in Forward Flight) was the Harrier's ace in the hole during the Falklands war. A Harrier pilot can use his plane's VSTOL capability to instantly alter the pitch of a turn or cause a pursuer to overshoot. The XF-32 seemed capable of that, considering it's heritage, while that doesn't seem likely with the XF-35, making it not as good a dogfighter as the plane it lost to. Of course, the extra power=extra energy in a dogfight, making up for that special trick somewhat.
for ease of use without a stylus and storage. 1 part Nikon D-1x, for taking pix when I see them without dragging out a camera. 1 part Newton, for when I want to use a stylus, and 1 part Gameboy. For those long meetings when it looks like I'm taking notes.
Tat, and 100% compatibility with a variety of Office suites and wireless ethernet would be blissful
Does anyone out there buy a record because it's on Island vs. Maverick vs. Sony? (Okay, Maverick is owned by Madonna, which may make me think twice...). Through the selling of bonds, his ISP, and now these comments, it's obvious he's making himself a brand that people know and trust, and therefore are willing to pay for. When music is a commodity in the post-copyright world (which is coming, whether the RIAA likes it on not), the people who have a distinctive style that engenders brand loyalty will have the following willing to pay for music instead of getting it for free. An example of this from the last two decades was The Grateful Dead.

Not like that wouldn't heat up the earth's atmosphere a few degrees or so, even at low power/wides beam spread. Instant wacky weather for miles around the downlink.
