I liked all the movies listed so far.... Wayne over Dumb Adventure over Bogus Lebowski over all four I still think MP's Holy Grail is one of the funniest movies made. (Life of Brian, and meaning of life were great too). Princess Bride is a classic as well.

I had this problem with mine. The router will disengage the connection to the net when idle for lengthy periods. You can set this, and I did, but I still lost the connection to the internet here and there. I finally enabled the keep alive option and haven't lost the connection since. (I...

I agree, have Apple replace the keyboard.

I'm new to macs, but I have a long history with *nixes (Sun OS, Solaris, Various Linux distros, etc.)...... I have to wonder if your playing around in terminal has caused some of these problems. I play around in the terminal here and there, but I haven't been there to fix anything. Why not...

Like RacerX, I think it would be a terrible idea to release a "test drive" for OS X that ran on windows. First time something didn't work, you'd lose a sale that you might have had from a potential switcher. OS X runs great on hardware it supports.....The cheap arse PC's that people buy on the...

Is Blizzard the only game company that generally releases for both PC's and Macs? I'm with you on the keyboard and mouse. Simply works better for most games than a couple of mini-joysticks and some buttons. I'm curious to see how the revolutions controllers are going to work out.

Yeah. I was a big supporter of Be, but as you mentioned, they thought Apple was going to buy them out and of course, NeXT got the nod. That would have been an interesting thing for sure though, although I think the NeXT move was the right one for apple. ZETA is selling for what? $99? Too...

I actually used BeOS as my main OS for quite a while. I actually thought it was going to be the "one", as far as OS's go. I think everyone knew the writing was on the wall by the time version 5 hit the streets. The BeOS was fast, and was amazing at multi-tasking. It didn't hurt that the OS...

Mac vs PC War..... PC User's: Macs suck and are expensive! Mac User's: Keep drinking the koolaid, kids. ----------------------------------------------------------- Mac User's: PC's suck and break all the time! PC User's: Sorry, couldn't hear you over this brand new game I'm playing! :D ;)

Um, anyone think Pete's coming back? ::ha:: Pete, Really, people here will help you, but you gotta lose the "I AM an expert and if it doesn't work the way I think it should, it's a POS" attitude. You came from a windows world, and it's the only one you've known. I think your...

I think it was the media (i.e., brand) used. Some drives don't seem to like certain brands, for whatever reason.

I would suspect the movie trailer server has gone down.

TP, there is no hole for a paperclip, at least not on the iMacs....I don't recall seeing one on the mini's either. FarmerPete....have you ever used Linux or another *nix based OS? If so, put yourself into that train of thought and get out of the "windows does it this way" mentality. It will...

Honestly, I don't know if they will or not. I would suspect not. You might need to get the native versions, which at this point in time (if they even made a mac version) would probably be PPC based, not intel based. Adobe in particular has already stated they would not be shipping universal...

If you like to do video stuff, welcome to the world of Macs. Watching movies can be done on any machine, but you have got to love the widescreens on the iMacs ;) As mentioned earlier, macs are great for surfing and whatnot, and you get the side benefit of avoiding alot of the malware and...

If you want a book recommendation.....I'd recommend Mac OS X, The missing manual (as previously mentioned here). [Actually, anything published by O'Reilly is generally pretty good. I really like some of their Linux and programming books]. If you want a machine recommendation, I recommend...

ANY Mac will let you get your hands dirty. If you are running high end notebooks and desktops, everything is going to seem to be a "downgrade" from what you are currently running. Sorry, Macs just are not as fast as the PC machines. The older stuff can be picked up on the cheap, but it...

FarmerPete, I see people making recommendations and you continuously finding reasons against what they are saying (But I....My P4....etc.). Believe me, I completely understand you wanting to get the knowledge you say you need on the cheap. Not to be rude, but either you want to learn the...

If you are really, really into gaming, then you might want to pass. Yes, the Mac has Wow, Doom, etc. but if gaming is your primary concern, prepare to be disappointed. If you just want to play the occasional game, and it actually comes to the platform, then....that's another story...

Oh, sorry, that would be OS X builds. It seems to happen on the _171 build more so than the _165 build. There is some discussion on this matter in the Apple support forums on this very subject. Personally, I think it is a software problem and as such have no problem and/or concern about my...
