It's not so much that it's a bear, it's just finding someone to do it. The problem is that since Apple sells 'g' products, the vast majority of Apple users buy the Apple product. The only ones left are goofballs like Wallstreet/Lombard users. There are only a few Mac laptops that have cardbus...

so you mean that apache on your old machine is accessing your files on your new machine through a shortcut? If so, can you access the file outside of apache? If the links won't work then either the link itself is hosed (ie it's pointing to the wrong place) or your permissions are messed up...

A question, how good is AW compatibility with Office docs? I read on Apples page that compatibility has been "improved", but to means that means nothing. Does anyone have any first hand experience in this regard (with docs going into and out of AW to/from Office)?

You should look around and see what type of voice processing packages are out there. You don't mention your budget, but I'm sure if it's high enough, you'll find a solution ;) If it's low, then you can try things like ViaVoice, combined with some IBM voice to xml stuff, combined with some...

Hulk to PC fans: hulk, "These are not the computers you're looking for" pcf, "these are not the computers we're looking for" hulk, "99.99% of all pc's suck, they are the pathway to the darkside" pcf, "pc's suck, the darkside" hulk, "the Apple Store will show you the way" pcf, "lets go to...

Actually I was assuming that he was talking about the time to actually do the physical ghosting, not the planning etc. I would agree that 2 days to actually start from scratch ("hey Bob, we just got these here 350 machines from Dell today, what should we do with'em?") is not realistic, but then...

Ahh yes, the age old, do I buy now, or wait. This question has been asked by computer folk for a great many numbers of years now. And now as back then the answer is an unqualified, maybe. Some things to consider: - Do you actually have a need now. This should be your #1 question. If...

Can't speak for cellfish, but I can tell you that Ghost is a wonderful product (well at least for this particular application). At the last place I worked we used it extensively and it rocked. Makes doing multiple machine setups a breeze. Not quite as good as doing remote machine installs...

If you don't know what a GF is, then perhaps you need to put the can of Jolt (oops I forgot, this is 2k3 not 1998, that would be put the triple latte) down and go outside. See those individuals with two large deformities in the upper torso? Notice how they strangly resemble those images on...

Good thing you mentioned intuition. Can people here at least accept that ones personal experience plays a HUGE part on how comfortable on is with a GUI? If you came up from the Mac world, then of course OSX will feel much more intuitive than Windoze. I came from the PC world (well been doing...

I ran Win2K on my AMD 233 up until last year. I was running NT4 on 486/120's (made a great low volume web/dns/smtp server). You CAN'T run OSX on anything less than a G3 (well, not supported anyway). And are you saying that OSX runs no better on your G4 than on her G3 (otherwise why make the...

Hold yer horses there pardner. I don't think that he was calling you a liar. It sounded more like he was implying that you were doing something wrong, or that there were some extenuating circumstances that lead to such a long install time (which you allude to in your above reply). I...

That's ok, I'm sure you just had a wishful flashback to 1996 ;) Which sorta brings up the question of what would OSX look like now if Apple had indeed purchased Be instead of NeXT?

Don't know about the airport card, but you can hack the Netgear MA401 wireless card: http://www.nodomainname.co.uk/ma401/ma401.htm Since the airport card requires the Mac to be "airport ready", which I believe implies that it has to have an antenna. And the airport cards don't seem to...

Be's assets were purchased by Palm, not Apple. Read yellowtabs info about where they sit with the whole licensing issue.

What the Dell is more expensive, well then it MUST be better right? After all, you pay a premium for getting a better system. The Dell is more like a Porsche compared to the Volkswagen that is the iBook ;)

Well three things were going against you. First, you compare a computer that would be purchased from a manufacturer with full warranty, etc; against a computer that "you can get at an auction". Now that computer at an auction might be a major manuf. computer, or it may be something thrown...

One has to wonder how much of Motorola knowing about the 970 affected their behaviour on the G5. Motorola hasen't had their heart in the desktop cpu market for a while, and they might have seen the 970 as a good time to get out. I'm sure they'll be happy to continue to fab G4's, but they don't...

Then again with some of the speculation regarding the new iPods, wouldn't surprise me if some people made that connection ;) Don't forget, that for a while the "most powerful computer" that Apple sold was their LaserWriter printer.
