Typical - 1.7 BIPS Fast - 4.7 BIPS Specs below. Typical run wiht Finder, SpeedX and Chimera open. Fast run with Finder and SpeedX open.

and hopefully some more switchers :)

Absolutely, IE is horrid on Mac, for anyone who hasn't tried it, give Chimera a shot. It is BY FAR the fastest rendering browser available. It makes every other browser look ridiculous for rendering speed. Since it is cocoa it also looks nicer than any other browser. Tabs are awesome too. Get...

Well said. I do have one of the fastest Macs out right now but even if I still have it in 5 years, I'll be happy. There is just no other option for me, If I didn't use Macs I wouldn't use computers at all. Im so serious...

I totally agree with you but I have a dual GHz so Im not even close to complaining of speed for any processes including web surfing. With cable internet, a fast hard drive, good graphics card and Chimera I'll put my Mac up against ANY PC for web browsing.

Well, its a hands-down win for the Mac then in this case. It IS much easier to work with digital images on a Mac than PC, especially getting them in the computer. And with a Cube and OSX there shouldn't be any speed complaints. If your talking OS9 then I have no arguement, I hate OS9.

Maybe you should have explained to the family before they got the Macs that Macs are not for those who just like to surf the web. They are for designing-Print, Video, Web... If they just wanted a system to surf the web then they should have stayed with PC.

It must be related to the Dell monitor some how, my 17" Apple LCD with the same exact system (even the same mouse) is trouble-free, as expected.

Glad the pics got everyone excited :)! I saw a post somewhere recently of another Mac users new setup and THAT is what got me soooo geeked to get mine. I knew the moment I got it that I was gonna make a little photo-documentary of getting it all up and running, now even when I look at the pics I...

Thanks guys, the machine is sooo fantastic. the setup is unbelievable. ANd yes it is a tish loud. :) Here is a URL to pics from beginning to end of unboxing and setup. http://homepage.mac.com/swizcore/PhotoAlbum2.html

I decided to check the local CompUSA to see if they had any leftover Quicksilvers since I hate the look of the mirror-Mac and low and behold, they had 1 QS Dual 1ghz. I got it for $1999. I am so excited to set it up but alas, I must eat dinner with the fiance and junk. I'll post pics of my new...

Good catch! That explains the requirement for the USB port. Funny, how did this go unnoticed till now.

heh :) Im mostly interested in merely the Rendevouz Bluetooth stuff like auto printer detect, iTunes playlist sharing, wireless this wireless that. Im not into synching stuff yet but if it becomes available I probably will realize it was something Ive always wanted and never knew. Just like...

I think he's referring more to the iSync capabilities of Bluetooth than the many other applications for non-cellular Bluetooth devices.

Why do system requirements require a USB port? For the Bluetooth tranceiver? Man I sure hope Bluetooth goes the distance and the tranceivers go onboard internally.

My iPods name is XGiggy2. The name stems obviously from the fact that it is a 10g iPod, the 2 represents the fact that XGiggy1 died and Apple sent me his new born baby brother. He's doing well.

Ok, so I have a font which I want to use in a Flash site I am doing. I dont have Flash MX yet and the damn font isnt working. I moved it to the classic fonts system folder and it shows up and displays (badly) in Flash classic but wont export at all in the SWF. SO, is there a utility which will...

Excellent. Thanks for the wide variety of info guys. Im not really in a rush so I'll keep my eyes peeled on all of your suggestions. Thanks for the compliment on my theme work rinse, Ive been so busy with design and my band that I havent been able to even think about them for a while though :)...

First I wanna say Hi(!) to all my old friends from here, Ive been so busy for so long I cant begin to explain. Just wondering what Palm Pilot or other type of hand held you would recommend I look into for using with OSX. I just wanna use it for contact info and some note keeping. Thanks...

In case I didnt do a good job at personafy-ing my spelling, its supposed to be like "Ren and Stimpy". Anyhow, I am just curious as to why I might want to use PHP or MySQL? What benefits do they have over the "technologies" they are replacing? What does PHP replace and what does MySQL...
