CHECK THE BOYCOTT LIST

Who cares? You can't ZOT people with a Leviathan using a Mac, so what's the point? :D

Ran the software update on my three Macs....all run OK with no problems noted.

Do they still make that stupid one that looks like a big boob, has a non-upgradeable display and no room for internal expansion?

Think Different, indeed. Think Like a Macmoonie.

Seems that Oracle is looking out for you Macites.

Don't know how far along it is. It's an "Early Adopters" release. Could be pretty scary.

Ok, I'm not looking for a fight just some enlightenment, so could some of you Mac enthusiasts answer a few simple questons for me?

#1 Why do they cost so much?

#2 What are the specs? IE processor speed,Memory,Hard drive size?

#3How upgradeable are they? Those computer in the monitor things look cool but can you increase the RAM,Hard drive size etc?

#4Why 17" monitors? it would seem putting the computer in the monitor would save alot of space on the desk top why not a bigger monitor?

#5 Are there or are there not any cool games for them?Will they run DOS or Windows games?

#6I hear they are virtually virus and spyware free other than that do they do anything else better than a PC?

#7I hear the OS is what really sets them apart why don't they sell a PC version of the OS?

#8Alot of Mac users tell me "I'm not into games" I don't get this, how could anyone not like at least 1 of the thousands of games available today?If you're not into games why would anyone spend that much money on a machine for work?internet?photo/audio editing? It seems like all of these things could be done alot cheaper.

This "article" is nothing more than blatant advertising. Violates FR posting rules. Stop posting excerpts from Apple's website.

The Macintosh platform is too inflexible. Why can't people just buy a bunch of random parts and assemble them, like you can with a PC? Why does Apple charge such a large price premium for a hardware configuration you could get with a PC for much less? Where would the Macintosh be without technology from the PC? It would probably still have a 33Mhz bus speed. The ATI and nVidia graphics cards Apple brags about only exist because the PC market created them.

In addition, they routinely slander Intel microprocessors with bogus and rigged benchmarks like insecure little children. Someone should send Mr. Jobs a memo that we don't care about the microprocessors he obtains from Motorola and/or IBM.

So Thats what the 24mg download was!

Macintosh: When you need training wheels.

[JohnBDay]

As a Mac user here's my analogy: Attacking Macs would be like a terrorist setting off a bomb in Nebraska. Could happen, but what's the practicality of it?

[A CA Guy]

This should please the 200 people that use these computers for sure.
