I've seen the cup holder disk player and those things were expensive in 91, customer was not pleased and it was a pc.
So, there's still a killer loose in Stockton, I saw it on the news, there was a camera that caught the car that dropped the original thugs off and I guess the guy dumped it. Things like this seldom end well. I hope they catch him and no one is injured. I wouldn't worry about him but why should a cop have to live with killing someone who in anywhere but Ca. would get a needle?
Keep your eyes peeled and you families although I think this guy is gone.
I will check out the link, thank you. MS just ups the year this week or adds R2 on the server side, who knows what they'll come up with next week? At least Apple has some style but this has been through several revolutions including a CPU architecture change (which I know they wisely took into account in development) and it's still O/S X? Does the X mean more than version 10? MS would have given it a catchy name like 'Vista', that would have sold...
Vista wasn't that bad, MS did the exact thing with 8, they update a perfect O/S like XP or 7 and it's a dud but Vista wasn't a nightmare like 8 turned out to be, the Metro interface is so counter intuitive, at least the update to 8.1 is free. 9 is supposed to be great, I don't care, just keep the servers normal.
Does Apple still use the 'Power' nomenclature? I was afraid that Mac was a PPC since although it's do-able, coding in the original processor makes a little bit of sense if you want performance and I've seen XP boot on a Mac book faster than a fast PC. Granted the Mac was up and running so it's starting a virtual system but it was impressive. I'm looking forward to getting my Mac hooked up.
The X in OSX is a Triple pun. . . for some a quadruple pun. The original operating system for the Macintosh computers was Apple MacOS and had reached version 9. It was at the end of its rope. Apple was completely dumping MacOS and moving over to an entirely new architecture built on a version of the OS they got by buying Steve Jobs' NeXT computer company. The new designation should have been MacOS version 10, but there would never be a MacOS 10.
Although there was absolutely no relationship between the old operating system and the new. . . Apple had to create a sense of continuity by maintaining the Mac name and a similar enough user interface. How? They incremented the number. . . Once. . . to 10, but made it a Roman Numeral. "X"
To prevent confusion with incompatible software, Apple dropped the MacOS and went with OS X version 1.
It is pronounced OS TEN, not OS EX, as some people think, and I heard some Best Buy sales guy arguing the other day.
The underlying operating system is UNIX, which ends in "X." The 3rd letter in NeXT is "X." And "X" is the unknown in an equation. . . and "X" marks the spot! (Those last two mean absolutely nothing!)
So, the "X" refers to 10, but also refers to the X in UNIX, the X in NeXT, and it implies the power of UNIX so it is doubtful that Apple will move to another number. Apple has already announced OS X.10 Yosemite.
I was kinda disappointed they gave up on the big cats. I was rooting for OSX.9 Smilodon and OSX.10 Sabertooth.
Apple dropped the "Power" line along with the PowerPC processors. . . again to avoid confusion in their customer base.
