You say they work the same but yet the PC version takes you twice as long to do certain things, what are these things since they must obviously differ? Could you elaborate more on why they're "in a landfill now". Since PC's and Macs share many components (motherboards being the major...

Must mean that they're getting ready to introduce a new version of the Mac Plus (maybe with iPod support) ;) What were you trying to look up?

But alas, when the c*ap hits the fan, who will be left? (appy polly loggies if someone else has already pointed this out)

So have you concluded that for your uses that both the Mac and the PC are suitable (i.e. the software/hardware that you want is availble for both platforms, etc)? When you say the Mac is "more expensive", have you actually sat down and written down the configurations you're after INCLUDING...

I thought Pink was Apples first attempt at a "modern" operating system, followed by Taligent w/IBM, then Copland (remnants of Taligent)?

Actually Pixar is a public company, and thus is owned by thousands of people. He may be the majority shareholder, but that does not make him the "onwer". Didn't mean to imply that it couldn't happen, it's just that for a smaller company to purchase a larger company often requires a lot of...

Yes I did see your post. The difference I was referring to was that you mentioned that Apple would go in cohoots with insiders to buy the company. I'm talking about Apple simply taking a large equity stake, no buyouts by anybody, perhaps some board/upper mgmt restructuring, but that's it...

Pixar has about $.5 billion in current assets and their market cap is just over $3 billion. They would obviously need to raise the money needed for any buyout somewhere else. Perhaps some type of joint venture with Apple? Or maybe Steve will start a holding company and do a highly leveraged...

Here are some things to think about. Not really arguments for or against, just some issues that could come up. - If she gets you a Mac and you quit/get fired, how usuable is that Mac going to be for someone else in the company, esp if no one else knows anything about Macs. - The only...

Really, and the US isn't evil;) I was refering to nations that aren't rich, hence the use of the term "poor backwoods". If I said that something along the lines of "It's not like he's some Mac zealot", does that imply that all Mac users are zealots, no, it would refer to a specific type of Mac...

You're no war expert and you don't know which weapons but yet you still said: There is no doubt that the US actively helped Iraq during the Iraq v Iran wars. What isn't completely known however is to what extent. If you have links that can show how this pro-Iraqi involvement somehow has...

The Iraqis have/used Migs (Soviet), T54/T62/T72 tanks (Soviet), Scud missiles (Soviet), Katyusha missle launchers (Soviet), hmm I detect a pattern here. Which US made weapons played a reasonably sized role for the Iraqi's?

Well it goes much further back than that. Back to a different time and age (picture your screen going hazy and wavy around the edges). Back in the early 80's Mot ruled the high end cpu landscape. At the low end you had the Z80 and 6502. In the "middle" you had x86 and 68k, and on the high...
