This might be more of a tagline than a slogan but... "Sure, I might have a great body, but I wish people would respect me for my mind." "Love your computer again." "It's okay to hug a Mac."/"Hug a Mac."

Well, I'm not going to sign up for the Apple Developer thing if there's no guarantee that I'd recieve the discount. Brian.

From what I'm hearing, yes, they can take your money as a student developer but decide you're not eligible for the student hardware program. Essentially, to be eligible for developer membership, you only need to be currently enrolled, while to be eligible for the hardware discounts, you need...

Crap! "Please be sure you are adhering to the Terms and Conditions before ordering. In addition, we request that students fax a copy of student identification AND proof of current class registration in developer-related courses. Apple reserves the right to refuse access to this offer by...

Holy snikies! It may be an uphill battle convincing Dad that spending the extra $100 may be worth it - but *I'm* sure as hell convinced. I can get an 800Mhz processor for the same price as the 733 processor under the student discount? Wow! (I'd have to live without the DVD-Rom drive -or- a...

Can you post me a screenshot? Brian.

Ooh - let me look up information on that! Got a link? Brian.

I took Assembly Language for a semester. I think that was the semester I decided to switch majors from CompSci to history. Eeek. Yeah, that is a curious decision - it would also explain - or at least partially explain - why my sister's celeron 1.2ghz (presumably based on the P4?) is slow...

There was also the fact that it, quite simply, was ahead of it's time. I believe it could handle up to something like an assload and a half of RAM... unfortunately, at that time, RAM wasn't the bottle neck it will be in the future. Brian.

I'm going to be sorry to see it go - I actually downloaded/used it once, although problems with it seeing my PPPoE connection prevented me from using it for any long period of time. I found it intuitive, fun to work with, and I have to admit, it never crashed on me. I am sorry to see it go...

Or PC users could just go over to Lindows. Brian

Does it matter to anyone that IE actually is a better browser than Netscape? No, think about this. Yes, they have access to APIs, yes they use MSHTML - but let's face facts. Opera is better and faster on PCs but it's pay-ware/adware and designed to run on systems that have a 'decent'...

Actually, Apple's mail program was one of the reasons that I was first interested in the OSX interface. - There are very few email clients for Windows that don't have some sort of fatal flaw. Pegasus: UI stinks. Eudora: Has ads & loses data! Outlook/Outlook Express: Too much overhead & too...

I never liked LCars - although I'd like a "KDE" type theme. But with WinXP's colors... I don't know, I never had a problem with Windows color scheme (although it is a bit "cartoony") It was just annoying. Things are like... 5 clicks deep just to change the start menu back to the way it...

FSB? Uh - please explain. Brian.

:( I didn't. I thought I could but when I went to check it out in the store (the purchase isn't through yet) the clerk pointed out to me that that 2nd bay is only for a zip or floppy drive. So my parents offered to spring the extra $100 bucks for a CD-RW/DVD-Rom combo drive. This...

Hey, while I'm getting a mac soon - I'm also thinking of having my cousin (a computer-illiterate who I think could really benifit from having a Mac) pick up an iMac to replace the old 486 that conked out on her. But the Indigo, even at $750 might be a bit much for her. Anyone know where I...

Ah, but that deal is quickly running out. Which brings up another question. Mac platform gets Office. Microsoft gets money. Mac platform uses IE as default browser. Microsoft gets mindshare. Apple is no longer in the financial situation it once was. Why bother reintroducing the...

I concur. I was origionally planning to put my existing DVD Rom drive in the G4 tower - then I found out it doesn't support a second optical drive. :( Because of this, I can't see DVD Movies when I get my mac - well, either that or fork out $100 extra cash... that probably would have gone...

I'm actually looking at this problem also. I'd like to put a DVD rom in the 2nd slot but I'm informed by the Apple Sales Rep that I can't... only a Zip drive can go in there. He suggests that I get an external DVDRom drive. (Does he not get the point that I'm trying to save money?) Anyway...
