I believe these symptoms (I have them too) are something I call revolutionitis... We all have experienced a great leap forward in terms of personal computers with the advent of X. This new OS was a big change from OS 9 and is very exciting. Now, though, that X is becomming the accepted...

Hey, when the G5 does come out from IBM in chip form, I bet there will be lots of upgrade companies that will make a ZIF upgrade available for a G4... This brings up an interesting question... Can a G5 run in tandem with a G4 on the same system?

Hehe... I'm still running 10.2.6 on a 300 MHz machine and it dosen't seem to slow for me (maybe I'm just patient). Guess I should upgrade sometime soon...

Back to the iPod thing... It is good to get these frustrations out, though. Apple people frequent these boards from time to time (or so I have heard...) and if they see these issues, then they are most likely going to fix them. Just a thought...

This idea captures a large part of why I feel more comfortable ("at home", if you will) within (software) and around (hardware) the Mac. The elegance and simplicity, yet attention to detail on both levels makes using a Mac a most enjoyable experience. It's kind of like experiencing a...

Ya know... Even though MS & co try to do the nice designs of Apple, they fall very short. This prototype has the look of a bulky PC (notice how tall and square the keyboard, screen, and screen stand are). Ugh... It just feels like a 1980's IBM design... Makes me shudder just looking at it.

Is it a habit for MS to name it's OS's after bovine species?... Guess it would make sense... new OS = new Cashcow. :p ;)

Having a great OS is a good argument, but let's face it, without some real processor improvements sometime soon (i.e. within the year), a good OS will start to mean lesser and lesser. :( Apple, please find a faster processor!

Can I trade my 5GB iPod with anyone for a new 10 or 15 GB one, straight up? ;) :p

... that highlighted confessions of a Mac to PC convert and the fiasco surrounding it? Well, it's made a list of dumb buisness blunders... http://www.business2.com/articles/mag/0,1640,47750%7C2,00.html Way to go Microsoft!!:p

... when you realize that the phrases 'windows-user' and 'windows-compatible' are contradictions in terms. :D

There is always the option to "zap" PRAM (by holding down apple+option+P+R just after starting the computer). I dunno if this will do anything usefull, but it couldn't hurt (at worst some settings, such as date, highlighting, mouse scroll speed will be reset to default).

Here are a few online comics that are not sindicated. www.sinfest.net -> great comic, slightly cynical, my favorite. www.itswalky.com -> funny most of the time, has a decent sci-fi plot, can be a bit heavy in dealing with emotional issues, though. www.reallifecomics.com -> humerous...

Well why not use the current iPod as a simple gaming system? Granted it wouldn't be a gameboy, but hey, with creativly constructed games, it wouldn't be that bad... couldn't hurt...

Cool desktop pic... Seems a lot of people have fancy computer generated fantasy pictures. How does one go about obtaining (or for that matter creating) a few of these??

I'm not complaining about the GUI itself. I love OS X and esp Jaguar (I've noticed a great speed increase in the OS with this upgrade), I just wish that my machine (aged as it is) would be able to run it a bit more smoothly. Heck, when the G3 tower that I currently have was designed, OSX...

I've noticed it too. I tend to also get a lot of spinning beachballs that last a while just because I am opening windows while I have a process running (something as simple as iTunes playing). Even though it is beautifully designed (I love it regardless), I would like the OS to feel a little...

I thought that Steve Jobs only accepted a paycheck of $1 a year? Or was this only when Apple wasn't doing as well as it is now?

Is there a way to get save dialogs to behave the way they did in OS 9? That is, is there a way to up/down folder levels the old OS 9 way instead of the collumn way (which I can't get used to) that is being used now?

I tend to notice this as well... Especially if I am playing songs off of my iPod with iTunes in the background and I am doing a lot of other things. iTunes stops playing and won't respond to button calls. I force quit it, it disappears, but the triangle is still under the icon in the dock. I...
