    Countdown

    I need input here, please. :) I have two Apple stores I could go to: one 3 hours away, one six hours away. Comp USA is an hour away, but I don't know if they will have it that day. It is supposed to be in Apple stores, and authorized resellers (such as Comp USA), on August 24th...

    Sick of the Apple switch commercials

    I am glad that you two enjoyed the Gates ad. I don't deserve credit for it. Someone else on here posted it originally. I just recycled it. :) Of course, since I couldn't find the original thread it was on, I had to use Google to track it down. I love that commerical. I even put a...

    Sick of the Apple switch commercials

    The Bill Gates ad is a parody. I think you will like. :) Here is the link to it: http://www.macboy.com/cartoons/switch/gates/index.html

    Apple doesnt want your ideas

    If you don't want to support Apple, you don't have to. We won't force you. :) You also don't have to design for them or submit ideas to them. That is also your choice. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that Apple was the only company that had ever spelled UNIX in all capital...

    Sick of the Apple switch commercials

    At first, I didn't like them. After I watched a few of them, and actually saw them on tv, I started to like them more and more. Just last night, I watched all of them back to back. Sick? Yes. Fun. YES. Having been on the dark side, I relate most to what Mark Frauenfelder says: "it's...

    You are reading what I write!

    I just wanted to write an update to all of my iTunes threads. :) Let me begin by publicly apologizing to everyone who witnessed the negative posts about this fine product over the past couple of months. I felt bad a lot of times for even complaining. After all, I love Apple. I love my Mac...

    Mac OS X 10.2 are there but...

    I am with Sim X. I haven't really invested that much in OS X up until now. 10.03 was included on my Mac when I bought it. I got 10.1 for $19.99 or something like it. So...overall, even after buying 10.2, I will have only spent $149.00 for all 3. I'm sorry, but if you can find an OS...

    Mail is really below Apple standards

    Some of us probably won't be using it after September :) I like Mail 90 percent of the time. I love the feature where you can set it up to check your mail every minute. It does have some strange quirks, though. I haven't had a problem much with the spelling. I use it sometimes to...

    So now I have to get a stinkin' AIM account to use iChat...

    I misread your post at first. But you don't have to use your mac.com address...you can create a new screen name for AIM. I like AIM better than AOL, in all honesty. I am looking forward to iChat...even though I know it is just AIM with new features. :)

    No matter what Apple releases, no one is ever satisfied.

    Thanks for letting me know. Without you telling me, I would have not slept nights worrying over all the Mac viruses. As for the songs, I am a realist. I never planned on competing with Gnutella. Someone with those delusions should seek help. I provide songs to people who visit my...

    No matter what Apple releases, no one is ever satisfied.

    One thing that appeals to me is the free virus scanning using Virex. I had to buy Virex for OS 9 because Norton Antivirus would lock up or freeze the entire system. I trust Virex more than Norton. I'm sorry, but I do. When I was on the dark side, I had all kind of products from McAfee. They...

    You are reading what I write!

    Today, right before I went to work, I decided to write two negative threads under the iTunes discussions board at Apple.com For a long time tonight, I couldn't access the page itself. Then, when I went back there, the threads I had written had been deleted. Apple actually removed them...

    IE 5.2.1 out

    I like Internet Explorer for Mac. I HATED the Windows version. I wanted to remove it from my system. I guess you all know how fun that was to try. :) Anyway, I have used I.E. as my primary browser from day one-even though I felt a little conflicted about it first. Here I was, trying to...

    OmniWeb 4.1 Final NOT A VIABLE WEB BROWSER

    I totally agree with the title of this thread. I have an online journal, a.k.a. a blog, and NOTHING will post when I try to use Omniweb. NOTHING. It is not the website, either. I had another blog at another address...and it worked the same way under Omniweb. I have to use Internet...

    Did Apple get hacked for this one?

    I am still trying to determine if this thread was a waste of time or a call for help. Maybe a little of both.

    iTunes: the program formerly known as cool

    I agree that Testuser did give some very good advice to solve the problem. I have lowered the burn speed in iTunes. I have mentioned that in almost all of my posts. So, being told that again was hardly a revelation. Someone who had the same problems called Apple and talked to tech support...

    iTunes: the program formerly known as cool

    I have posted my system information. There is a thread on Apple.com that asks for people having problems to post a copy of their system profiler report... So I did. I have a G3/600. 256 MB of RAM. 40GB HD... 10.1.5 is my OS. It is not as OS X exclusive problem, however. Same problems...
