You are wrong. Apple has always included a mouse with every desktop Mac ever built (until the mini). They stopped including keyboards for a while when there was a choice between the Apple Standard and the Apple Extended keyboard.
Things got bad when Apple released the Performas. It was then that Apple started including crappy keyboards...
I still use my Extended II keyboard today (via iMate ADB-to-USB adapter) and will continue to do so until it brakes - if ever.
I don't think the increased heat poses the major risk of the upgrade. Rather the tinyness of the jumpers you're supposed to desolder seems crucial to miny. Compared to the Mac mini an Xbox is an easy solder job - and still tons of dead units appeared at ebay when the modding started.
I do know that the picture is from danamania. But come on, she is running her web server on a PowerMac 6360 - although that box is a lot more responsive than the Quadra 605 she used to run it on, we still should look for mirrors before linking to her site.:-)
That's not bad at all. You really don't want to buy the first generation of an Apple product. Remember the first Powerbook G3? Or the first Powerbook G4? See, you want something like those current Powerbooks which are thoroughly tested.
An early release of Tiger would definately rock, since that could mean it would be usable by the beginning of autumn. When it reaches 10.4.3 it should be ready.
If you want to compare Pages to some DTP/layout software, it should be that old app that took your snippets and rearranged them until you liked the result. Can't remember which one it was: MultiAd Creator oder Ready Set Go? I am not even sure if it worked with System 7.
Hmm, I use a song snippet on my P800: "Music is Math" by "Boards of Canada". Since the P800 can only play WAV-Files it's a pretty inconvinient ring tone - but even those 2 MB were bluetoothed eventually.:)
Apple *did* build powerbooks like that. Those heavy Wallstreet things were pretty tough, and the first generation of iBooks (with the toilet seat design) were nearly indestructable.
I guess they didn't sell as expected. White iBooks do.

You're right! Why get a 30" stationary display when you can have a 30" Powerbook?

This is really sad to hear. Thanks for the info.

Oh dear, I remember that one. First 3D game I played on my Mac Plus. Oh-so cyberspace. :)
Could the interview be this one? I read that, too. :)
Hertzfeld is a Mac guy. You know, us Mac guys, we are pretty peaceful. Baseball bats are a PC thing. :)
FYI: The book mentioned in the article is a writeup of that site.
Would be especially nice to read more about Burell Smith. That guy was a Mac mastermind. Seems to have vanished, though.
There is a difference between a text editor and a word processor...
There are people who think Marathon and Halo share one univsere: clicky. I find it hard to disagree.
The translation is rather: "Don't ask stupid questions - we might answer good ones, though".
Shameless self-promotion: iPhone is already available. ;)
If you insist on Aqua try NeoOffice or whatsitcalled, MS Office.

You are supposed to type Rosetta! Rosetta! Rosetta!.
Maybe they're just users not whingers. A lot of Mac people can recognize good quality software easily - but a less of them actually know how to code.
Pounds, pff! How about Kilos?
That must have been me. I hated it. I had been hoping for a new Newton, or a smartphone - you know, they had announced "a groundbreaking device".
When I saw that pseudo documentary where Moby and Seal had nothing but praise, my attitude shifted from "I hate it" to "I am disappointed".
A couple of weeks later I happend to hold the iPod in my hand and turn that scroll wheel: clickclickclickclick.
I wanted one. Badly.
Just another UT2004 with hell of a single player mode. That's what most Bungie games are really about.
