  2. Anarchist's Cookbook on UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files · · Score: 1

    Years ago I downloaded a bunch of recipes from a Baptist church BBS. Imagine my surprise when I opened up that Cookbook. What a hoot! And I totally agree with previous poster: Good

  3. Re:Wow on 18 Years in Software Tools, an Insider's View · · Score: 1

    This guy's mind runs at hyperdrive. If he is any indication, it's no wonder that MS is #1. Terrific film. Worth watching the whole thing (which stopped before he was done). Not that I especially like MS products, but he gives detailed MS insights into many facets of the software/computer industry. Mac User

  4. Re:Does anyone here... on Why First Generation Apple Products Suck · · Score: 1

    Well, I had very high expectations of the 20" Intel iMac. Bought one from Apple.com. iWork '06, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Upgraded ram and video ram. $100 rebate on Canon MP500. Elsewhere got Sony USB floppy, Office 2004 and Stuffit Deluxe. I came over from 20 years of DOS/Windows; necessary for proprietary work programs. Now getting ready to retire and wanted Mac (last one in 1984-1985). To this point, everything has met or exceeded expectations. I've never had a computer that has worked so well and seamlessly out of the box. Office is non-native but I can't tell the speed difference from my Widows machine. The only snags so far were the result of me not RTFM, but they were minor. Initially thought I would bootcamp Windows; now I'm not so sure it's necessary. So far, the best home computer I've ever had. YRMV, but for me it was the best choice.
