Yeah, like I thought: you're the kind of pussy who has a big mouth when he's sitting in front of a keyboard.
If you said that to me in person, which I highly doubt you would, I'd rearrange that smart mouth for you.
I've installed 10.5 on twenty Intel-iMacs, two G4 Powerbooks, and one G4 MacMini...
Other than the custom RIP software for my HP large format printer, and my HP 4370 scanner drivers no longer working (which does remind me a bit of the snarky 'Don 't Give Up On Vista' ad) I have no problems.
Oh yeah, the twenty iMacs live in a 10.2 server network - again, no problems.

I have a Cue Cat hanging in my classroom. When the kids ask me about it, I tell them the funny story of people who thought you might want to spend the day scanning the barcodes of everything in your house! I sure am glad dumb ideas die and never come back !!!
I agree. The scenes which GL chose to delete from Attack of the Clones, like Anakin having dinner with Amidala's family, would give the film a bit more depth. It would be nice to be able to play the DVD with these scenes "spliced" back in.
Battery life is really not such an issue -- if I "only" eeked 3-4 hours out of my iPod, that would in most cases be more than enough time between places where I can charge it (in my car with an adapter or at home).
The real issue is ease of use -- which just happens to be related to the style factor.
A good friend just got a 30 GB Creative Zen player from his parents. Besides being butt ugly, it has the clumsiest UI I have ever seen. Whereas I can hold my iPod in one hand and navigate everywhere with just my thumb, my poor friend has to use a god-awful interface requiring many fingers and a good deal of squinting.
I felt bad for my friend, so I just kept repeating, "wow, cool, thirty gigabytes!"!
I'm teaching 5th graders to make their own sites with Adobe GoLive, my 4th graders are using Photoshop, and all of the students from 3rd grade up are checking their test scores online.

But there are teachers like the one described by the previous poster. Most "computer teachers" come equipped only with an education in Education! They must learn all of their tech skills on the job. Now picture an older person with a family (not my case) thrust into that position, and you will sometimes get the situation described above.
It's partially a generational experience - the younger teachers coming in are more familiar (though not necessarily knowledgeable) with computers. Technology coursework needs to be a mandated requirement in all MS Ed programs.
When did this occur? I did have to convince people, but I managed to have my school's lab upgraded to Macs last February.

Now if HP would just release RIP software for my Designjet . . .

well you pussy, try calling me a "freaking idiot" in person, you'll find out what damage this troll can do to your face.

I get only 450 f'ing voice minutes per month with that unlimited data plan, so AT&T and you, Farhood, can kiss my @$$
if you criminalize GPS, only criminals will have ...
Now we just need to get android running on it.
Yes, the iPhone OS is clearly too user friendly.

Apple ... really needs to get told where to stick their monopolistic behavior.
Control freak behavior, yes. Monopolistic? With 3-4 % market share?

. . . how about an iMac and 5 iPods with docks and AC adaptors.
the good news: 9 of his friends are getting free iPods
the bad news: they all need to spend $60 dollars on accessories that should be included!

An undergrad is actually noticed and spoken to by a Professor? That's a good one!

There's also a Logo program for Mac OS X developed by a fellow named Alan Smith (ACSLogo) available at http://www.btinternet.com/~alancsmith/
When our new eMac lab is installed later this fall, I'm going to try using either StarLogo or ACSLogo with my fourth graders.
