I doubt that .Mac will have any substanitive advantage. Apple is entering a new market. They'll want everybody on board.

Went to the ATL Jaguar release party. It was mayhem! I wonder how many people got left standing outside. There were plenty of people wrapped around the edges of the railing overlooking the downstairs of the mall. There were hundreds of people there. I plopped down my cash and all I got was a...

OS X runs fine on my PowerBook G3 Lombard. Of course no DVD, no infrared, no hardware accelerated graphics, moan, whine, complain... There are a few other annoyances, all of which I'm sure will be addressed in 10.2 (even if Apple has to be sued to get them to happen!) In the meantime I think...

I was happy to see that these two programs will continue to exist for OS X. I will miss ATM: especially the font menus from which you can choose specific fonts. According to the good folks at diamondsoft Apple has not provided a way for developers to add this functionality. Furthermore, Adobe is...

OK. I know it's a dead horse, but until I hit the lottery I'm living in OS 9 world. Which isn't terrible of course and certainly faster. I still hope Apple will make good on it's word about OS X FULLY supporting G3s.

This is an elderly 2gig APS drive.I have my Win2000 image on it which is taking all but about 250mb of space. It is chock(sp?) full.While I was unable to repair the disk with the Disk Utility in OS X or with the fsck in the terminal window I have successfully repaired the disk in 9.2.2 with Disk...

I'm trying to take your advise, the thing that's bothering me is I can't figure out why something would work only sometimes? There has to be something that changes in order to cause the problem in the first place. I'll let you know after I reboot how everything went. Thanks, B

Most of us in NC know that Wachovia is called "Walk over ya". But they have added insult to injury. A while ago they switched their online banking to a system that requires you to use Quicken or Microsoft Money to manage your account fully. The bank won't let you enter transactions that haven't...

So, where's Macromedia? They seemed to be first with Freehand 10. Where's Dreamweaver and Flash? I'm pretty disappointed in them. I wonder if we'll ever see those apps in OS X? Cold Fusion doesn't seem to be coming our way either. They are starting to become the company I hate.

Here's the link to the IBM page. It looks neat, but it's not nearly as elegant as the iPod. http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/prod/travelstar.htm IBM link

Well, my money (if I had any) would be on a port of OS X that runs on Wintel boxes and AMD chips. Anyone notice that IBM has their answer to the iPod out? It's got a 10 gig hard drive? I just took a step over to the dark side tonight: xbox. It's very very cool. Halo dominates. Batman Vengence...

I wonder why this message posted twice? Huh. So I'm late to the party on the Intel/AMD speculation. Now what about a partnership with Sony. I've read that around. It would make some sense. I don't think that's it either. I'm still a little put off my Epson's slow show of support. Course, I have...

This sounds like a pot induced hallucination, but is within the realm of possibility that Apple will introduce new boxes running on AMD or Intel chips? It should be possible and what with the production issues from Motorola and IBM it does sound intriguing to me. I guess the only thing that...

I signed up for the beta tester thing on Adobe's web site. I guess that's the right way to do it. I'm happy to know that I'm only about three apps away from being able to move over to OS X with confidence (Dreamweaver, Flash, Half-Life (well maybe not Half-Life, whatever happened to that...

I wanna play, can someone post it?
