Yeah, I guess your G4 instantly was dropped from support and immobilized itself on your desk the day the G5 was announced, just like your G5 stopped working the day the Intel Macs were announced. Sucks to be you? Meanwhile, all the rest of us continue to have great working hardware that will continue to work and get new software through the rest of the normal PC life cycle.

Ah Brad, i have done my research and know all about dual binaries *snore*
you've missed my point or perhaps i havent been clear enough, It's about the politics and the assumption that mac users will do what ever apple decides and keep buying apple hardware at apple prices. I bought an ipod mini (1st gen ones) and silly me believed the hype that my battery will last 8 hours, which it does of you dont turn it off Switch it off and put the hold switch on to prevent it comming on and it drains your battery down so in a few hours you switch it on again it's almost drained. That indeed went to oxfam and i did whta i should of done in the first place and replaced the battery in my 2nd gen ipod As for your offer, i'd rather it help feed all the starving children in this world something you should do a bit more research into before you refuel steves jet |

Look it up. Apple is a corporation and has every right to make a profit where people are willing to pay. If you've got a problem with that, you've got a problem with the majority of the free world, not just Apple. I'll take that cluepon back now.

Not trying to convince anyone or to look cool but to let off steam and make a point.
If an admin can attack and try to make someone look stupid then said admin can kiss my ass and i'll defend myself. Being an admin doesn;t mean you can make it personal thats just bad form |

Hey Englishman,
The reason we buy everything Apple makes and give them load of money is because they work hard to give us cool products. If I wanted a ford mondeo I would have gone to the Ford Garage, everything needs replacing eventually and personally I have never resented paying more. If you can't see passed the code and the ££ signs then youre better off with a piece of balck plastic junk. However if you want a Porche you better be able to afford it. We are not mass market, we are an exclusive club and we like it that way - as with all decent clubs you pay for it. Chill brother, lay back and enjoy a bit of beauty in the world. Anger leads to the dark side it does, let go you must!! |

Moving on from the elitism, my take on the higher prices and cash pile is that I'm happy to pay Apple a bit more for hardware when they actually have to pay for the R&D of an entire OS, and I'd frankly prefer them to maintain a sensible pile of cash against a rainy day (such as, say, switching processors after, to paraphrase your delicate terminology, IBM f#$£ks Apple in the ass) than go under.
Apple's margins are higher than the rest of the industry, that's true. But until a year or so ago, and the advent of the iPod, they weren't make huge profits. There's a reason for that, and it's also the reason the prices are a bit higher. Deal with it. Until Apple's market share gets substantially larger or they scrap Mac OS in favour of Windows, it will always be the case. It's certainly true that you can do similar things to Mac OS on Linux or Unix. I'd be tempted to say that you could extend that statement to Windows as well. That's because fundamentally an OS performs a pretty standard function, and standards-based OS's even more so. If you don't like the way Mac OS does things, well then, there's a large number of choices for you. It's a very subjective decision, however. |

of course, plugging it into an UPS to check and see if it was electrical interferance from, say, a fan would have probably been a good idea.
but hey, whatever. i'm honestly not sure why this proc. switch is bothering people so much (assuming Intels product map actually is good). yeah the P4 sucks, but hopefully they'll be putting something else into their boxes. Google is your frenemy. Caveat Emptor - Latin for tough titty I tend to interpret things in the way that's most hilarious to me |
