I don't have a problem with Microsoft copying this, but what annoys me is that most Windows users will think that these are a completely original invention by Microsoft. Microsoft won't correct them, naturally.

I hope they unveil the new Intel PowerMacs. It's all very well upgrading the Powerbook which is limited by mobility and the iMac which is limited by the fact that it's not designed to be a high-end system, but I want to see what the Intel chips can REALLY do.

I personally think advertising would be a better way of making money, as it's already the most popular podcast and hence the most in demand by advertisers. If they charge for it, it probably won't be. The problem with advertising on podcasts though is that users download the whole episode and...

FarmerPete: No, the Windows version of Quicktime does not have a full screen option either. It's very annoying :(

You might also want to check out some of the alternatives to 3DSM that the Mac platform offers (e.g. Maya, Cinema 4D, etc.).

European versions are toned down :(

I was a PC expert that converted. I had problems like this but I didn't let them get to me because I wanted to learn. It seems like FarmerPete feels like he is being forced to. Be open-minded and you should be fine. Btw, it's easy to hang a PC too by inserting a scratched disc. Everything slows...

Don't Apple keyboards usually come with eject buttons?

Don't you just love the blame culture that we live in?

Yes, I get the crashing problem too. Something to do with Flip4Mac possibly?

It shows the whole window for me.

Lots of features in Vista are similar to features that are already present in Mac OS X at the moment so there'd be no real benefit for Apple to just scrap Mac OS. Plus we don't know what's planned for Leopard yet.

I think they're blowing it out of proportion. Everyone's saying "Oh my God, there's a Mac OS trojan now. The world's going to end!" It can propogate via iChat but the program doesn't do anything malicious. On top of that, you have to download and open it yourself, so why worry?

FarmerPete, you mentioned earlier about the fact that your KVM has PS/2 ports and Macs only have USB ports. Surely it's a simple matter to get a convertor? You could easily add a cheap Mac Mini to your existing KVM setup without having to replace any of the other machines.

For me (Powerbook G4), it feels slightly slower but not excessively so.

Er... can someone just answer his question? He wanted to know which books people would recommend for his particular situation. I don't think he was expecting the Spanish Inquisition...

At the moment, compatibility could be an issue, depending on which applications you want to run. However, that can only get better in the future as manufacturers recompile their software for the Intel machines. I'd advise getting an Intel machine as it's faster and more future-proof than the G5...

Surely there must be a difference between them?

Putting limits on companies' ability to outsource will lead to inefficiency and inflation. If the government consider it to be a problem, they should try to make things cheaper to produce in America so that companies wouldn't *need* to outsource. I personally don't see a problem with goods that...

Apple software. I bought FCP Studio and Shake. I paid $1300 for FCP and a friend of mine ordered it online for just under $800. I could have asked him to order it for me but I was told in the shop that Apple did not offer student discounts on software at all. When I went in with him a few months...
