No milk and cookies for you tonight ;-) http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50424

No, I am beautiful 24/7, so my mummy tells me. How many fingers can you put in your mouth -as far as the tonsils, without choking, at once?

fear, uncertainty, doubt

Yeah.. :o I actually I am quite a fan of the books, but with no aspirations for interstellar power, not tonight anyway, I'm too tired ;-) The only emperor I admire is the one who said “That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently...

You can call me anything that isn't rude :) It's Francis, or anything you like. I think I'm understanding it a bit more, it is natural, I guess it is as I've conceeded before such a major icon in society and the hardware/software is in such a class of it's own, it's almost a cult! That I can...

No, I read it while browsing earlier while I had a Knoppix CD booted, so I have no history, it came from some interview Jobs gave last month I think to a magazine, maybe an online one which requires subscription for the whole thing. If I can google it.... AAAAAHHH!! I'm doing it now!!

Must... not... gossip... but yeah, Apple are prototyping a 15Tbyte HD PDA with 256bit G9 processors, I read it online in an interview Steve Jobs gave.. credible blog source you know.. :p That REALLY is how it seems to me..

Pre-order jitters on my part maybe? It's hard for a newbie to filter it out -to separate the wheat from the chaff- especially when the proportion is so high. The one I found tonight - that Jobs may license OS X to 3 PC makers - really does not do anything for my own consumer-confidence.

We're out of sync -read reply above. I am not saying that, I was wondering if that is the position you were putting forward. For me, since ordering our Macs, I've read quite a lot of stuff, a lot of it being rumours etc. and I can't help wondering if I'm wasting my money, am I buying into...

I think I understand what you mean. I still don't get why people do it though, I don't get why people do a lot of things many take for granted.. oddball I guess ;-) I understand it to a point, it just SEEMS disproportionate though compared to other platforms I've been involved with.

Doesn't fill me with any confidence as someone about to return to Mac, also it doesn't answer why it seems more so among Mac users, unless it says more about the kind of people buying Macs nowadays? Are you saying people who own a Mac now are just mindless consumers? Victims of capitalism gone...

I realise many things have changed since I last owned a Mac in 1997, the number of Mac forums being one of them. But something which really strikes me is the the sheer amount of rumour-mongering, gossip and what-if articles and postings which are almost plague-like now. I'm not being unkind...

I'll bet three Rice Krispies and a banana that they will will bring a more featured video capable device under the iPod brand that will sync with iTunes.

I wouldn't bother with something without a keyboard, it's a necessity for me. I'd like to see either a iPod with TV recording and video playback like the Archos or a system like the OQO or Zaurus C3000 with Mac OSX.

I think iPod Video will be more likely rather than a Newton.

I see about as much chance of the Mac becoming a major target of attacks as I do BSD, Linux, Solaris or HP/UX.

I completely agree with you. Absolutely right.

Wonderful news, thanks for that ;-)

LOL! Yeah, just plead ignorance: "spy-what? virus? Never seen such a thing but I hear they are common on them mass produced Windows machines.." I've said it before, and I'll say it again 'never get a pig to do the job of a Panther' :D :p
