| I don't have any problems with my iBook's screen size ... and this is my only computer. Not to mention I think spymac.com is full of it.

| I love my iBook. I like the range on the airport card (coupled with my Cisco Aironet which has a better range than the airport base station), I love the weight and solid feel, I love the ports that are built into it, I like the battery life, and I like litte glowing apple on the lid. However, after owning it for 10 minutes I named it "eyechart". The screen is nice and it's viewable from a wide range of viewing angles. Still, a bigger screen would be nice. As for spymac being full of it I'm not sure. Any quicktime experts out there? I know that with streaming video usually only the parts of the image that change are sent over the wire. I wonder if the words "welcome to iWalk" not jumping are a result of video compression? I can't help but think of all the people who were positive the cube and the quicksilver were fake. If you say eveything is fake you're going to be right most of the time. |

| Taken from appleturns.com: SpyMac.com is registered to a German gentleman named Holger Ehlis, who also happens to own ehlis-design.de. Back during the first iWalk hoax, the Ehlis Design web site contained a lot of 3D renderings of proposed Mac mock-ups. Those pics were quickly yanked once the proprietor noticed that some people were making the connection and SpyMac's credibility was spiralling down the toilet. Faithful viewer Jens Baumeister confirms that Ehlis is "the graphics person for a German magazine called MacLife" and that he put together these mock-ups last summer. ------------- In other words, the same guy that created these, owns SpyMac.com

| I have to point out that those iMac designs are the most STUPID you could ever dream up. Seriously. I don't want to go looking in the back of my display to look for the CD drive. Very cumbersome.
