The ATA66 is likely intended for the optical drives, neither of which would require an ATA100. From an engineering-meets-realworld-use standpoint, it makes perfect: a few pennies on a single machine mean profiting an extra few hundred grand on the whole.
Are you serious? A/UX was written to run on 68040 class machines and will not boot on any PPC. Getting it to run on modern Macs would be a Sisyphusian feat.
If you dislike Aqua, use the login '>cosnole' at the gui login screen.
Seriously. It may be fine for running as a firewall/router, but a RIP server requires more power and RAM than your standard "well i have this spare pentium box" router. A place I used to work used a dual P3 with boatloads of RAM and fast disk space as a RIP and even it got bogged down by large and/or complex files.
Actually I've noticed an interesting trend regarding pricing: CDRWs are getting to be cheaper per unit than 3.5" floppy disks. When you adjust for cents/MB, floppies are absurdly overpriced.
CDRs are so cheap that they can be treated as a disposable medium.
Another problem with a CIS is that most of the available inks are formulated for prepress proofing --- their more color accurate and color fast than consumer inks, tend to be tougher and are more demanding of the stock they're printed on. All fine if you're proofing or really anal about your digital photos, but the lifetime TCO is often greater than the disposable carts.
The newspaper in Florida stuck on OS 9 is probably stuck there because of Quark: a lot of people are still using Quark XPres 3.x and 4.x (which are System 7.1 era), and Quark won't be shipping a carbonized Quark till at least early 2003. Furthermore, I've found Quark 5 to be a bit finicky running under Classic.
No, you're missing the point --- Apple is no longer updating Mac OS 9 as a bootable OS on new systems. You can run Mac OS 9 in the Classic Compatibility mode, where any low level calls are passed up to Mac OS X which then talks to the hardware (eventually). This doesn't affect any of the PPC Linux distros.
Furthermore, there's a few tiny islands in the lake of the woods that are for all intents unclaimed---they were simply too small to bother surveying at the time (northern Minnesota is largely wilderness, even now) and constant border haggling never quite resolved if they were Canadian or US. iirc, the legal border actually slashes some of the islands in two, and a border innacuracy could easily shift an island into either country.
Stupid, stupid plot. It doesn't matter where the current border is; it matters where it was at the time of birth. For example, if you were born in the Canal Zone, you didn't become a Panamanian and non-American when the land was returned to Panama.
Yes, yes --- we're in complete agreement, but I just felt it pertinent to point out that tho most things in Mac OS X Server are the same, a few things are different and arguably for the better.
Actually a better question would be: Where would MS be if it hadn't ported Office to the Mac OS? The first version of Word for Windows took its UI direct from Word for Mac.
Actually anything that can print in Mac OS X can make a PDF file---just nose around the print dialog a bit, and you'll find the option to save as a PDF. It helps ease the pain of not having (and probably not getting) a full Mac OS X release of Acrobat. (Bad Adobe, bad.)
I don't think Office X would be realeased for Solaris/Linux/FreeBSD anyway(and I don't care) so Macs would still have a great advantage over the other Unixes.
It won't, at least not off the Mac OS X port --- Office v.X is a Carbon application, using some of the old school Mac OS APIs that Apple approved as a way for developers to transition from Mac OS 9.x lineage into Mac OS X.
I'm guessing he'd just show a clip which, as part of a lecture / speech, falls under fair use. But then again, fair use is a damned loose and losing term these days.
It's not so much the diameter of the disc or the speed --- CDs are the same diameter and even a 16x drive is spinning faster than a Syquest drive. What matters is the weight, as a Syquest disk is a lot heavier than a CD, letting it do more damage. I've seen a Syquest cart cause a drive to literally walk across a desk---try getting a CDROM to do that without shredding the CD first.

Or just be like many people and go sit in the stacks, taking notes off the book.

You're right --- for basic RGB editing, the GIMP is fine. But it's useless for anything but basic (one or two color) prepress.
But that's $250 for three years of additional, full coverage. The initial hit is steep, but it's really worth it if you're paranoid :)
Just however much it costs to have incorporation papers filed --- not much at all.

And what's the model number of your plotter?
What? And leave just the external door? Actually with Microsoft it's more like a screendoor with half the screen come unstapled :p

Most USB keyboards act as an unpowered hub. Plug your mouse into your keyboard.
Err... multisession CDR or just a CDRW? Anyone?
Yes, yes --- we're in complete agreement, but I just felt it pertinent to point out that tho most things in Mac OS X Server are the same, a few things are different and arguably for the better.
Well.... not entirely: NetInfo takes some getting used to.
Yes, a Powerbook G4 will run Linux, but not VMWare. Yellow Dog Linux, Mandrake PPC, and Debian just to name a few.

Not fuel -- momentum with little frictional and gravitational effects.
