    How many Macs do you have?

    Does it have to work. If not, I voted wrongly. I have three that work and two that don't. They could work, but I'm too lazy and cheap to replace the parts that need fixing (hard drives and such). Working: See below along with an original Macintosh. Non-working: I have an SE and a IIfx...

    Thanks Ed! That's what I was thinking, but was unsure. I'll look into it.

    Why buy an Apple?

    I said I would shut up on this thread, but that is too good!!!!! Maybe I'm just in need of a good laugh, binary, but that's hilarious. Have a good weekend everybody, I'm internet deprived until next Tuesday.

    Why buy an Apple?

    OK then. Now I'm stupid? I told you how it took nearly 40 hours. The PCs were cr*p. I acknowledge that NOT ALL PCs are cr*p, just most. You ask why people automatically assume that you are trolling when you say something Windoze/PC positive? I say: "Why do PC people automatically assume that Mac...

    Yeah, they're still in business, but they have shuffled it off to another company they now call DirecWay. They've even partnered with Earthlink I you want Earthlink specific service. I've gone to their website, and they say they are not currently Mac compatible. They said that using a PC as a...

    Why buy an Apple?

    It all stems from the GUI. In MacOS, I can easily hide/minimize the palettes and so forth, but cannot as easily do it in Windoze. Just working with the mouse is a chore, at least for me. It just doesn't flow like it does on my Macs. Every window has its own menu bar, what a pain. You pegged...

    Why buy an Apple?

    Ummm..... No it's not an exaggeration. binaryDigit asked above why didn't I do something like clone the drives or use Ghost. I tried. But the PCs were such pieces of cr*p that it never work on any of them. NOT ONE!!!! Don't presume that you know what happened in my situation. I...

    "hard-headed" alias won't delete...

    Go to macupdate.com or versiontracker.com and download one or all of the following programs: DropNuke SafeShredder SecureErase When I have a file that just WON'T go away, one of these programs, or a combination of them, does the trick. Sometimes it takes a log-out/log-in or a restart to...

    M$ Longhorn : 4015 ScreenShots..

    I totally agree with toast's sentiments on this deal. It's still just the same old Winblows. It just has a new, fancy (though sickenly done) paintjob. I might as well take some old busted, rusty car that runs like cr*p and spend big money getting it painted up real nice. But before it's done...

    Why buy an Apple?

    OK. Here's the short answer. The Mac OS just works! Here's the long answer. As someone who teaches computer classes at the high school level, I have a hybrid lab that is a 50/50 split between PC and Macs. I also own two Macs and one PC. Between the two systems, whether you're talking hardware...

    I lost the Prepare CD option?

    I think that Jaguar does it on the fly, because I've done data disks, music cds, and mp3 disks with no problems at all. In fact, I've had fewer problems with various PCs and stereo systems reading my disks since upgrading to Jaguar. I don't the technical part of the answer. I leave that for...

    I know this idea has already been hashed around some, but I wanted to see if anything new that I don't know about has developed. I currently live in SC and will be moving to TX in a couple of months. I currently have cable internet and average 1.5 gigabit on my connection. We are building a...

    "George Bush our hero!"

    *UGH* My head's starting to hurt! I have a lot I could say at this point, but I just don't have the strength. Ugg, think of some aspects of Christianity like mass media. The reason it seems that those who are born-again are always people that have majorly messed-up pasts (or present) is...

    "George Bush our hero!"

    Darkshadow: This may not be an acceptable answer unless you believe the Bible is absolutely true. From a literalist's point of view (like me) this is an easy one. Cain moved with brothers and sisters, and cousin and so forth. We do not know how many children Adam and Eve had, but we reason that...
