  1. Re:A few thoughts on Apple Updates iMac, iLife, .Mac · · Score: 1

    I hate having to shit down my computer, but I don't want to risk it when I need to really give it some whacks on the side to loosen the crumbs. Man, did THAT ever give me a wrong mental picture, especially when you describe your situation above....yuck.

    I wonder what would happen if we added a gyroscope to your idea..hmmmm....

    What about Windows Defender, Vista, etc.?? http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/247483_msft defender08.html

  4. Re:Video Games & Computer Entertainment on Gaming Mags Worth Their Ink · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. This was the best video game magazine ever published, IMHO. I really enjoyed reading the reviews by Clayton Walnum and the editorials by Andy Eddy. In fact, I still remember one that was written about how he had a dream about Tetris, and how they could've ruined it by adding bombs, better graphics, and many other things that would complicate how it works. In the end, he just turned his plain Tetris back on, but it's ironic how most of the things that he mentioned would ruin it eventually got added in later Tetris variants. The closest any magazine comes today that I've seen is EGM. I too had a subscription to Next Gen and miss it, but EGM comes closest.

    So, is Steve Ballmer Galvatron, Cyclonus, or perhaps more of a Grimlock?

    Dang, this is the first I've heard of it. I wonder if the Matrix has ever gotten the BSOD.

    I protest....I believe I'm spicy! Yeah, it's a weird nickname, but it's from a long time ago, before AOL took over the internet! :) If nothing else, I'll get Harvey Birdman to plead my case...if he's not available, maybe Reducto will be.

    Offtopic, I know, but I met my wife over the internet 9 years ago, so it's pretty safe to say that without any "Geek Toys", I wouldn't be married to her now! Aergern, I'm guessing they use that line due to jealousy, perhaps? ;) Heck, my wife almost uses the main computer more than I do...why do you think I'm buying a new one?

  9. Re:G4 laptop seems old now on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't have a laptop now (save a VERY old Powerbook with System 7 on it), and if they don't come out with a G5 soon (June/July), how long should I wait? I'm ready to try a new OS, so I figured I might wait and experience the latest and greatest Mac OS. And now (if this proves to be true), I'll be able to soon, at least with the Mini. There's always going to be something new coming along on the horizon. I waited until Tiger because I knew it would come out soon as Apple has openly promoted it. When has Apple actually promoted the G5 notebook? I'm sure they'll figure it out soon (especially seeing what they did with the iMac), but until then, I'd really like to get a laptop soon. Having Tiger and iLife 05 will just cinch it for me (although it would be nice if they'd also include iWork with Tiger!)

    I'll bet my wife would be pretty pissed off if I did that!

  11. Re:which powerbook are you thinking of getting? on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    Probably the 15" Powerbook. I've heard all the rumors of G5 Powerbooks, but I've been telling myself that I'll wait until Tiger is released. I've just been ready for a new computer for so long that I might just buy the Mini to test out Tiger, and then possibly wait until June/July to see if they will come out with the G5 Powerbook. I know they just recently were updated, so I guess it just is a matter of "How long can you wait for a new laptop?"
