Obviously, when you are in a position of authority, you will know to not hire those people.
I have learned in my working life (I'm 51, and have always had a job since the age of 15) that one does not work in isolation, and the people who do best are people who surround themselves with competent and trusted colleagues: teams, essentially.
Obviously you have never worked in a corporate environment where your staff is assigned to you by re-orgs and you have to spend a year documenting an employees bad performance before you get sign off from HR to fire them.
Your argument is correct if there wasn't the internet, but since there is, most people don't need college to learn more about the world, its just as easy to hop on Google and find out more interesting information in a few hours than in a semester of lectures by a professor. All for free.
Actually, I confirmed on the phone with AppleCare that the upgrade version will require an install of Leopard to work. If you're on 10.4 you'll need to spend $169 for the box set that comes with iLife and iWorks.
You didn't understand what you were being told.
"Upgrade" refers to the $9.95 disc you can order if you bought a new Mac in recent months.
The $29.95 retail copy on shelves this Friday is a full installer.
1) this is an update, not a full installation. There is no "full price" edition, you MUST have mac os 10.5 on it now
The retail "full price" edition of 10.6 is $29. It is not an upgrade. Does not require 10.5.
Apple will stop selling 10.5 the day they release 10.6. So if you have a macbook or intel imac with 10.4(.11) on it and don't get it updated to 10.5 before the 28th you cannot install Snow Leopard.
Where are you getting this mis-information from? You can install 10.6 on any Intel Mac. Doesn't matter if it has 10.4 or 10.5 already installed. You can even install on a blank drive.
No you are. A Mac with an OS older than about four years is basically worthless. It won't run any of the current browsers/programs, therefore forcing the user to make an expensive OS upgrade.
You're still very confused.
Four year old Mac OS would be 10.4 (Tiger) released April 2005.
10.4 is still fully supported by the latest release of Firefox as well as Apple's Safari browser.
My PPC laptop is running 10.4 and all of the apps run just fine as application developers haven't stopped supporting 10.4.

If you count a blown sensor as a "real" problem. My check engine light has never come on due to an actual problem with the engine.

Hulu is pretty worthless most of the time.
Maybe they outsourced the launch like NASA is proposing to do.
You are correct. The official page is up now and it looks like Apple changed the retail installer this time around which is totally F@#KED up!

The price of Snow Leopard for everyone is $29.
You should look at the size of Mini DVI connectors. HDMI is huge in comparison.
Nope, but let me help you out with perspective. The Inspiron 537 slim is entry-level at $269 including a DVD+/-RW, 2GB RAM, etc.
But if you spec it with similar processor to the Mac mini the price starts at $664. (As stated at the same link.)
