Really, JOOC what processors were they based on and who produced them? Both 060 and 88k were 32bit right? Are you referring to PPC 620?

You have to understand the actual makeup of the clone market to understand why Apple had such a big problem with it. Apple was actually supplying the clone makers with their motherboards (there may have been 1 or 2 that had their own, but folks like Power Computing simply used Apples). So...

The answer is a definite, maybe. My neighbor has a problem with his phone and wireless connection, though for him it affects the range in which his ap can reach (this is easily repeatable). I have another buddy who has problems with his 2.4ghz video transmitter interfering with his wifi (and...

He must have the card if he is able to connect wirelessly. The airport cards go fully inside the PB, vs a third party PCCard that goes into your PCCard slot (and sticks out the side). Perhaps you are thinking that he doesn't need a card in his pccard slot to get it to work? Like I said, you...

You just create a simple text file. Make the first line: #! /bin/sh This will force the script to be run by the sh shell. After you save the file (with a .sh extension is common, but not necessary), chmod it executable. Modify your /etc/rc script (it runs when the system is booting)...

Agreed, currently any Linux distro and OSX are like night and day wrt average desktop use. Linux has surely improved, but has a looooooong way to go. Even if they do clean up the basic OS stuff and solidify the UI, there is still the issue of the hodgepodge one faces with the apps. I've...

Do you have your PB configured to get it's address via DHCP in the network config? If you can connect to your ssid but can't do anything, that would be the first thing to check.

Well we sort of are, since this thread is about design and the "borrowing" thereof (plus how does your post add anything to this thread ;) ?) OK I do get your point though, back to the HP thingy. What I don't get is that I don't consider the cube form factor a very good one. You can't stick...

I have the MR314 (similar to the 814 in features, but in their old blue industrial case) with an airport client and it works fine. I've never used the Netgear card, but I have used the Orinoco Gold and the Enterasys (128bit) and like them a lot. The Orinoco has an excellent reputation due to...

You still need a card if you didn't get it with the card to begin with. That's why they are "airport ready" and not necessarily airport enabled. Note that you could use a third party card (since your price conscious), but you're probably better off going with airport. There is a dedicated...

How about Shockwave? I don't know about it's printing abilities, but it is cross platform and allows content delivery over the web (which would help make administration easier).

Guess it depends on your definition of "worth it". Systems on ebay are going for anywhere from $40 to $150, with the high end representing "complete systems" (e.g. monitor, printer, etc). So if you're a starving student, then it would pay for a few pizza's or a years worth of ramen. If you're...

Yes, without a doubt that I am "more" pro-Wintel than many/most here. I work/have worked with many platforms, and am pro-almost all of them (though there are times when they really hack me off too). They all have their strengths and weaknesses. See, there you go again, trying to pigeon...

You should be fine. I haven't met an AP that I haven't been ok with on my airport card (original, not airport extreme). OTTOMH that would be Linksys, Cisco, Orinoco/Avaya, Netgear, and Enterasys and whatever people like Starbucks and Scholotzkys use (Cisco I believe for Scholotzkys).

I think that throughout all of this that you are totally misreading my point. I never said that "Apple doesn't innovate" or that even "Wintel innovates more than Apple". Nope, never said that at all. Go back, read my posts and find me one instance that I claim that Apple doesn't innovate...

First of all, I thought this all originated by talking about innovation, not popularization. PC's had USB ports first, period. USB was a standard feature of the BX chipset, which was around late 96. BX and it's followup TX were not "esoteric" or all that high end. Now you do have a point...

Agreed that beauty is in the eye, though many eyes have issue with the current BMW styling trends (7 series, upcoming M5). And hate to break it to you, but iDrive is "powered" by Windows CE. But judging by all the complaints and problems with it, perhaps they should have went with something...

One thing to keep in mind is that the whole reason that you can use wine to run some of these windows games and have it be usuable is that it is intended to run on an x86. The playability of a game that was forced to do x86 emulation _and_ go through wine would render many if not most games...

Well I hope that I'm not doing too much providing of marshmellow combustion. hulkie and I just, well, we have this thing ;) and I do have a tendency to get sucked in. I just have this thing about people making statements that don't seem to be based in fact, or at least sound reason...

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you asking for a PC config that is similar to a PowerMac config and then looking at the price? I wouldn't be surprised that you would end up paying pretty close to the PM after adding 802.11g, Gb ethernet, and Bluetooth. At least a lot closer than...
