:D
yay, either make better quality expensive Pro hardware or lower the prices of base models (mini, imac & macbook). Well, if possible Pro hardware @ current imac pricing. :D :D :p
you got it brother, i'ma proud of you :D
fryke, i agree most of the things with you and others. But the most anticipated part of Intel transition was price reduction on par with dell, hp, ibm, etc...., in reality which didn't happen as most of us expected and some hardware issues.
True, but apple have to compete with other...
I don't think so, apple used make fun of intel processors in their ads. It's all about making use of the best technology at the right time. If someone comesup with a better processor and other technology, i don't see any reason for not utilising it.
what i'm saying is, since ppl didn't want...
well, i think apple have done better than last time (68k->PPC)...... and who knows they might even switch to a better processor (AMD or even another RISC chip) without even announcing. :) hint: Universal Binary...... who knows what it is capable of.
one could custom build @ half the price of an imac (£800 - 2.0 ghz 17") with top quality components( but no legal os x).
when u custom build (using tyan or supermicro mobo) or buy a dell, the table turns upside down, mac pro being the cheapest :).
True, there isn't any.
ya, macbook...
They better put all those superior things, when you charge twice the price. In US, mac's are cheaper, elsewhere they cost twice the price of kick ass system. And elseware people often ask why mac's are expensive, those beige days we could answer, SCSI, PPC processor, state of the art hardware...
i'm not talking about old OS, but build quality of hardware esp the SCSI based Mac's, we still have several of em running well without hardware problems. All i want is super hardware without issues.
as for new world macs we had logicboard, storage drive even display card problems.
You...
Star Craft, Jedi Knights II, couple of old classic games (pre OS8) like Maniac, Pathways into darkness, etc..... are my fav.
And Oh... forgot to mention, interactive video's like Startreck Borg, Ultimate Warrior(kung fu), Myst & Journeyman project.
PPC, Intel, AMD or SPARC I wish apple paid attention to the build quality of hardware and OS like they did in those beige era. I had more hardware problems with el cheapo new world hardware than old word.
Also the frequent software/security updates are annoying.
Me too, i haven't asked any questions/comparisons.
I'm not sure, as far i know there shouldn't be any legal issues.
Thanks, but i've been searching the topic for the past few months and came up with the same results. I'm not interested in any virtualization software as it requires hell of...
I don't know where to post this........
I've been using MacOS since the System 7 days and was planning to purchase a portable system capable of running OS X, Solaris, Ubuntu and windows natively.
So, i posted the question in Apple Discussions regarding the same, all i asked was if *nix es can...
Not true, Microsoft is planning to start development centre in 2008, and for the time being they're only doing some software testing(bug finding, asian languages, etc...). It is true that its 37% employees are Indian origin.
Which is the safest mounting position to prevent premature physical component failures in 3.5 hard drives using fluid bearing technology ?.
1, horizontal, with label upwards.
2, horizontal, with label downwards (as in 8600/9600/G3 tower).
3, vertical (as in MDD G4s).
Three of...
