um. OpenOffice != StarOffice. OpenOffice is open source, and free, and available for many platforms. StarOffice is BASED on OpenOffice (the same way Netscape used to be based on Mozilla) but it costs money. It runs on Windows, and a number of *NIX OS' (but not OSX that i'm aware of)

um. i use groupwise at work on PCs. i dont think there is gonna be a way, without syncing to a device in between. for mail, you can just set up a standard IMAP or POP/SMTP account pointing to the groupwise server.

any SATA hdd will work with a G5.

wow. that almost seemed like sarcasm. anyways. It seems to me, that any CPU that needs a water-cooled RADIATOR from FACTORY isn't exactly efficient in terms of heat or power. (2.5Ghz G5) and a 2Ghz CPU on a 167Mhz FSB isn't the greatest of all designs either (recent G4 from Freescale)...

wow. a lot of CRaZy ideas here.. boycott apple to make them stick with 2.7Ghz G5s & ~1.7 ghz G4s for eternity... switch to Power4 CPUs at 5 times the price, 8 times the power consumption and 20 million times the heat. (the G5 is a Power4 designed for desktop use. it's already been "scaled" to...

goto http://www.defyne.org/dvb/ read up, check out the forums. then find a USB (or firewire) card that is supported, and has Windows support and voila!

um. did you enable the root account?

try skEdit.

that is the post i was referring to... money will most likely be a factor, but not a price for each CPU, more like a price to continue developing a CPU that is going the other way to what you want (embedded markets, and highly-customised for consoles..)

price? yes. it's nothing to do with IBM focussing on CPUs for a) high-end SERVER markets and embedded markets like consoles. that is nothing to do with it at all! steve is putting us through all of this, just to save $2.00 per CPU. grow a brain.

you can't expect Apple's cheapest computer line to suddenly jump into 64 bit.

actually.. just to add fuel to the fire. if you base a PC and a Mac on whether you can install windows... Microsoft had a version of NT(3, maybe 4?) that ran on x86, Alpha, and PPC. that's what they're using for XBOX 360. a custom Windows kernel (running on a g5 for the dev kit). so by...

um. as for Tassie Tiger.. probably best not to name it after an extinct animal..

um. as i understand it Linux is a "unix-like" OS. that's the whole point. to have the same features etc, but without licensing the code.

that doesn't make sense. a G5 is a type of processor. the G5 IS a 64bit PowerPC CPU from IBM. yes. the G5 was apple's "biggest and baddest". IT STILL IS. the first Intel/Mac isn't released for another year. it'll be 2007 before the whole product line changes over. that doesn't change...

um. a mac is a computer that can run MacOS. G3/G4/G5 i/PowerMac: runs MacOS(x), doesn't run Windows. Intel/Mac: runs MacOS X, may run Windows. by definition, PC means Personal Computer. PPC stands for Power PC, ie: Power Personal Computer. that is: a chip developed for personal computers...

um. someone tell me where S. Jobs said they will replace the PowerMacs with Intels last??

consoles are a weak comparison to a decent computer (mac or pc) game.

I have no problem with linux. it's great and all that. but for a desktop OS that "just works" it has a long way to go. It's developed by geeks, not UI experts. and whoopy do, the chip is made by intel. does that mean you wouldn't use a G5 XServe because it has an Intel controller or whatever...
