Sometimes irc.press3.com goes down. Snak is a good IRC client, but right now I think that JediKnight has the lead as far as ease of use goes. 2.1 of JediKnight is expected to rock. And JediKnight is free... Try irc.press3.com a little later today. It might work. Brian

I don't know. I just made the mac switch, and I'm pretty sure that if I had gone with a PC it would have cost the same or similar... I don't know. It really comes down to price. If apple ever did *really* fall behind as far as clock speeds were concerned...

The whole browser war has no winners - so far. Yes, AOL should switch to Gecko. But when Netscape 6 came out (and 6.2 is not much of an improvement) AOL/Netscape shot itself in the foot. It was buggy, it crashed the OS, it was bloated, and it was full of ads, and it was ugly. I use...

This is something you can fix in System Preferences - go to Internet - choose Mozilla as the default browser. Brian.

You know what I'd like? I'd like AppleWorks 7.0 or 6.5 - notable features? Spellcheck on the fly. I want to see a G4 "classic" Imac, for the the low-end market. Furthermore, I'd like to see room for a 2nd optical drive in the Mac. Better yet, a "Barebones" Mac - processor, operating...

Very important question: How do you get it so that when you click on a Mailto: link in Mozilla it will launch Mail.app, and NOT Mozilla Mail? And 2: How do you get it when you click a link in Adium or Mail.app, it will launch it in Mozilla instead of Explorer? Brian.

It's not the justice department - yes, this particular judge is an idiot. But it's the "mindshare" that Microsoft has. Like it or not, MS Word *Has* become the standard - of course, that alone should tip the judge off as to what the entire case is about... and these comments in and of...

Add porn.

Mice. (Seriously) I have installed a mouse on my computer. I install mice on computers for a living. It may be a problem with your particular mouse. I think it's a problem with this company's brand of mice.

I am writing this to you from my new Macintosh, a Macintosh G4 800 mhz to be exact. Internet was easy enough to set up. :) I'll let you know when the jury has wrung in. Brian.

Yeah, futurama is great! But the time slot stinks! For that matter, I think that the Simspons are great! I rarely miss when the simpsons come on Fox at 6:00 and 7:00 - I watch the simpsons twice a day on weekdays. But I *rarely* if ever, catch the newer episodes that run on Sundays - Sundays...

That's the computer I'm getting. I don't know... there really isn't a way to compare the two, the Pentium is based on a CISC processor and the Apple is based on a RISC processor - the apple has Altivec... And there are many different versions of the "pentium" to compare it to... Pentium...

It made it look like Jeff Goldblum could act.

There is another option - and i'd only reccomend this if, as in my case, you happen to have a DVD drive already handy but can't use it otherwise. There's a company that makes something called the "Pyro external drive" or something like that - it turns optical drives & hard drives into external...

Actually - I just downloaded Mozilla for use at home - I *hate* netscape - to me it's turned into horrible buggy bloatware, but I *love* Mozilla... Some suggestions though: 1) Yes, interface speed needs to be incredibly increased - even at the cost of not being able to customize the skin - I...

Here is my personal opinion. AOL is a giant company. They make buggy software They buy out companies, then screw up thier very good products (Netscape, ICQ) They have screwed up royally by releasing Netscape 6.0 before it was ready. They sell advertisments on the service that people pay...

1) Macs retain their value for longer - they won't go obsolete as quickly and when the time comes to trade it in for a new computer, they'll be worth more than a comparable PC. 2) Macs are easier to use. It's easier to find things when you're looking for them, especially with the Dock...

Upgrade to 10.1.3? Brian.

Not that it matters much: My first "mac" was an Apple ][e at Middle School - I think they were obsolete even then. The teacher there was an idiot - and even though I wasn't a computer geek back then like I am today, I could tell something was wrong. She insisted that we type with two spaces...

Make the buttons smaller... I don't know about you, but I don't even *use* the Bold button that often. And when I do, it's cmd-B, (or Ctrl-B on my PC). There's too much emphasis on making the buttons bigger - yes, they're easier to hit - but they get in the way when you're *not* using them...
