It's just that IMO the windows and OS/2 behavior is superior.
If nothing else, because if you right-click without noticing, nothing bad can happen (on mac/... you could in some situations (with big menus) activate a menu item. Toolkits have clumsy workarounds in place for this, like: don't activate any items within 0.1 seconds, or something)
This laptop has a radeon 9000 series card that works with open source 3d drivers. It's a much better overall solution, especially for a laptop where ultimate speed is not so important.
(In practice, WPS will have to be redesigned/reimplemented, since the OS/2 version ran all in one process which is a showstopper these days, unless you use Java which brings it's own problems)

I think weekly/weekend papers will stay for the same reason the books will stay.
Except that I'd be interested in buying a mac laptop.
>Except for the mouse thing. I want two buttons and a wheel. IBM could probably convince them to do that. /aol
OF COURSE. What a stupid thing to do, close Word between each document. LOL!!!!
I just tried it again. Properties is still hidden, despite the fact that I have used it several times in last month or so.
Perhaps I don't use it enough.
I'll buy these only after DE-AACS
(I don't have a non-computer DVD player).
It works in "Programs" menus.
It's totally annoying in menus that have a fixed set of actions.
(Word hides File|Properties by default, which is totally annoying).
I personally prefer the Doom mod.
A black case.
The problem that I see is that ATI Radeon = 9200 cards run Quake3 reasonably well and they already have open source drivers.
I already have one of them and probably wouldn't buy a worse card.
If the feature activates URL's automatically, it's about as annoying as popups and will be hated just as much.
Since any serious programming language is case sensitive, my "isnot" operator will not infringe the patent.
lol
Are you saying that buying the DVD still requires a net connection for single player ?? :(
I haven't missed the point at all.

Not funny. It's true.
I always considered emacs to be a much better newsreader than it is a text editor (especially with the default set of keyboard bindings).
:)
funny.
That's why buying a mac (laptop) is not gonna happen for me.
Which is an extremely good idea (stolen from OS/2).
I've seen people (any myself) double clicking in the windows explorer and moving the file via drag&drop by mistake because the mouse moved slightly.
OS/2 uses the left button for selection of files and the right button for drag&drop which eliminates this problem.
Unfortunately it will only run on standards compliant browsers.

The reason might be that except for really simple layouts the table based layout is much easier to do and better than css layout.
Seconded.
Maybe in another decade.

> which would probably be another, larger peltier.
Perhaps this is the solution for Pentium 4 cooling.
It's peltiers all the way down (up).
Something like RGB-in (maybe even DVI -- perhaps even easier to do) with some kind of overlay would be a really nice feature.
This + synergy (or a an USB switch) would be a really nice/fast replacement for VNC or a KVM switch, usable for games too.
You (we) should be VERY happy that the open source drivers work and nVidia drivers don't.
The opposite would be worse.
Actually, I might change my mind if the hardware was free.
No!
