Mouse support? Hell, I had an old IBM PS/2 Model 77 that would error out on post if there wasn't a mouse attached, and required drivers for the BIOS, just to add an add-on card.
I have a Minidisc player/recorder, it's great, except that the Sonicstage software applies DRM to every song you transfer to it. Unless you go into the preferences and agree to manage your copyrighted audio yourself.
Yes.
Because when you roll it going around a curve, it's going to fast.
If you see smoke pouring out of the hood, it's over heating.
When the engine sputters and turns off, you're out of gas.
I find my 1ghz iBook runs pretty well with Leopard on it. Though it is slower than Tiger, or Panther were. Kind of disappointing, I'm hoping it'll run better with the final release.
"They might be okay for someone who does basic Web browsing, office apps, and e-mail, though, as long as they don't try to do many things at once."
I think that should read, as long as they don't try to do them at once.
That's funny, cause I could have sworn they said that thing they showed off at the Mac convention was a tech demo. Something about demoing their new engine with about 20 gigs of textures, just to show what it could do. I could be mistaken though.;)
Robert Jordan being a monopoly? bah, Piers Anthony maintains a much higher market share with 27 books in the Xanth trilogy. That's a monopoly if I've ever seen one. That series needs to be broken into three different series, so as to provide competition in the literary world.
I dropped out of a technical school I was trying to get a degree through because I couldn't stand how much of the material they taught was out right lies. Our school system is pathetic.
"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
That person was very wrong. The 14th amendment states that they have to apply equal protection to any person, it does not specify they have to be a citizen.
Completely agree with you on that. My friends are always amazed how my dual Pentium 3 server runs so great, and can out perform their newer setups. I've got it running as my desktop, plus ftp, mail, ssh, mysql, and apache. It runs smooth as can be. It's been running since 1998 as my main system without giving me any trouble. I've tried repeatedly to help people build servers and desktops that would run great, but they only ever want to go with what has the fanciest name.
My last desktop system I built, Pentium D 920, wiped the floor with my brother's Athlon X2. My current system, a Pentium 4 2.66ghz Socket 478 system, keeps up with my friends Core 2 in most everything, except graphics horse power.
I miss the days where people actually knew how to work on computers and build them. I'm constantly losing sleep trying to repair systems for people around here.
Sound Blaster Pro? HaHa, I love my Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold. ISA, gold plated stereo RCA outputs, w00t! And being able to swap out soundfonts anytime I want without any hassle, unlike my Audigy gives me, is great. Love my MIDI collection. Hey, my Apple Messagepad has a Cirrus Logic graphics chip too! I miss them.
Agree so much. I would love to see one of today's "hardcore" players sit down to a game of Civilization, the original, or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Civlization has been watered down in the later releases. And The guide, one game I know purposely cheats the player, making you start all over at the begining. Games now days cater too much to the people that can't beat a game without cheats and a strategy guide.

Mine missed hitting a brand new car by 4 inches :)

Speaking as a ham, thanks a lot. Now they know that, and I won't be able to use my secret razor based packet radio to connect to the internet.

Actually, I believe 800mhz is the minimum for Vista. Though you'd be insane to try it.

Sorry, had to be an ass.

No, Vista just makes it feel like it is.
*hits you with a Linux manual, then runs very far away*
Sorry about that.
It's not nice to insult the monkeys like that.
Marconi did not invent the radio. Nikola Tesla did.

Any number of books and sites could tell you that.

As a species going extinct, we should petition for special protections. heh

And include wireless updates anywhere in the universe.
I bet the screen doesn't even turn itself if you flip it on it's side either.
I would suggest the Cascade Falls in Jackson, Michigan as a wonder before some of those they voted for.

Built during the Great Depression, has 6 fountains, 16 falls, and 1,230 colored lights. Very beautiful at night time.
Halo is a Mac game. I play it on my iBook G4.
