Mine's being eaten up by Picasaweb albums, not Gmail. Living in a foreign country with a wife and kids that my family and friends have never (or probably will ever) see, means that I use Picasaweb a lot. I'll probably start adding vids someday too. Then the space will really skyrocket.
You charge the cell phone because landline local calls are free. Cell phones in America have no different number system, so you don't know f you are calling a cell or landline phone. All you know is whether it is local on long distance.
I'm forced to use an XP box at work. Why on Earth would I want to suffer like that at home?
OS's aren't hard to learn. If you're good at computing, you can do things easily on a Mac. There will never be a Windows PC (maybe a BSD or Linux PC) at my home.
And columns are a nightmare in Word. Word is the worst word processing program I have ever used. Word Perfect was much better.
Word drove me crazy years ago (maybe it's better now) and forced me to switch LaTeX by changing the formating of my documents suddenly (for example, try deleting a column in Word and see what it does to the entire document).
I've never regretted the switch.
I'm a textbook writer and I use TextEdit to make RTF files when collaborating with others. If I'm working on a solo project, it is LaTeX and TexShop all the way.
If you liked Framemaker then you should check out Scribus. I prefer coding in LaTeX (I never use Lyx--usch), but for more graphical stuff, I've been turning more and more to Scribus.
I use this to print Student Grade Reports. Their grades are in Excel. I can't find how to do it Word (I know it's there, but buried under which submenu?), so I use O.Office to do the Mail Merge.
Yes, by people who enjoy the social interaction of pen-and-paper RPGs. By people who enjoy a good story more that buying and selling virtual MMORPG items.
"Type? There? No, no I won't"
"But you'll get that sweet app that I have on my iPhone."
"Please, no. I can't. I won't"
"What's wrong with you. Look, just type this.*
*Arrggh!*
In Sweden the phrase used is "Lika för alla" (The same for everyone). My principal says that means: "Lika dålig för alla" (Just as bad for everyone). They are very anti-elitist here in Sweden (I blame it on years of being run by trade unions aka the Social Democrats).
There are teachers who are great at teaching motivated, knowledge-hungry children.
There are teacher who are great at teaching unmotivated, couldn't-care-less children.
The principal should know who belongs with which class.
Well said.
I've always enjoyed GURPS over games based on levels and straight-jacketed classes. The old version of Champions was very similar. Now I don't play anything (until the boys get older), but have Call of Cthulhu (non-D20 of course) laying around and waiting.
Bah!
I an author of textbooks and have to write collabrative documents that are used by my co-author and editor. I have a Mac without MS-Office. They both have Windows PCs. Guess what. My using Open Office or TextEdit, or Bean or whatever has not caused any problems or smell like a turd.
For 99.9% of business uses, Open Office is seemless in a "MS only" workflow.

I installed it normally. I was sluggish until I upgraded from 384 to 640 MB RAM. Now it runs fine.
Apple is completive with similarly configured Dell systems. It is just that they don't make any low-end systems (if you don't count the AppleTV).
I'm running Tiger fine on a 5-year-old G3 iBook.

I do my grocery shopping for my family of 5 by bike, but I live in bike-friendly Sweden.

As does ALL programs on my Mac. Still I prefer to use LaTeX or Scribus for making PDFs.

It's a pity that there aren't any good MLA packages out there for LaTeX.
I use LaTeX on my Mac for everything I hand out to my students. I'm an English teacher in Sweden. I've even typeset several books with LaTeX.

I've seen a few of my high schools students editing Wikipedia with bogus info just for kicks.

Hah, hah, I literally laughed my ass off when I read your comment. Now if I could only find where it rolled off to under the computer desk.

AT&T had better watch out for Greenpeace.
I really miss Word Perfect. It was much more intuitive than Word.

That's what LaTeX is for. I dip all my downloaded PG texts in LaTeX before reading them.
