Rush asks Steve Jobs to call... PING!

By the way, the FreeRepublic Mac Ping list is now up to 295 Freepers!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I thought Macs were perfect. I thought nothing ever went wrong with them. I thought Leopard was the greatest OS ever, etc.

What happened?

Is this real or is it from The Onion or Scrappleface?

It could be worse.... He could be dealing with a problem that he reported to Microsoft...

Heck, I’m still waiting on a bug fix for the Microsoft Fortran Compiler that I opened in 1981 when working on a TRS-80!

This is interesting. Just last night I went on the Apple site and shopped the Mac Pro, basically Apple's answer to the PC. (at least in appearance)

I know you know this, but I don't think the average Freeper realizes how much Apples blow the PC out of the water. It is ASTONISHING at the level of sphistication these macs reach.

400% more RAM than the top PC boards can handle. TWICE the processing power...up to 4 TB of storage...unbelievable!

ALSO unbelivable is the fact that the top of the line MAC PRO with all the options (except modem) weighed in at an astonishing TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!

For the amount of Macs ElRushbo bought, they should have provide concierge service for him

[GRRRRR]

I emailed El Rushbo and told him if he REALLY needed support, to come to FR and post a note to Swordmaker...

LOL!

Back to my Mac, screen sharing, doesn't work. It's intermittent on occasion. Now, I got six computers on the network, maybe it's only meant to go back and forth one computer to the next. And the second thing, and this is the biggie, because I have found a work-around to screen sharing back to my Mac not working, direct access to my IP address I can do it without Back to My Mac, but they've got this great new backup program called Time Machine.

I can't address the Mail.app problem because I use Entourage, but I use Back To My Mac all he time without problems. Because BTM operates over the Internet, I bet that Rush's problem has to do with access through his station's corporate firewall. Ports need to be opened up to allow use of this feature.

I just ordered six brand-new Mac Pros: four for me and two as gifts; maxed out, Blu-ray drives

So, uh, how do I get on his list?
