I thought this review from a Windows person would be an interesting addition to the Mac vs. PC debate. I'll be getting the family-pack version of Tiger when it comes out.

Though it is marketed by Apple as a major release, Tiger is in fact a minor upgrade with few major new features for end users...
Oh, come on, Paul. If SP2 was a major release, Tiger is sure as hell a major release--and it comes with more new features than SP2. Unless we're counting security patches as features now...

I believe the fossilized bones of a Commodore 64 were recently unearthed in Montana.

And even then, XP is still the least secure thing out there.
I swear, if it wasn't for PC gaming, I'd be a Mac user now.

I would like to know why he sold the 17" PowerMac G4 with one gig of memory. That is what I have.
One feature of the Macs which I have not see emphasized is that they will work on any power available in the developed world if you can plug into it.

Unfortunately, I need Windows due to my classes. If I can get away with OS X one day, I will.

I'm hacking away

I have a family of four still producing Commodore 64's... My major problem is to keep their rubber soft. It's also not real easy to find 5 1/4" disks now, either.

I strongly believe that in 2005 & '06 we will see most software that is released for Windows being immediately developed for Linux, and as a result OS X, too.
The time for software developers to support the rising Linux market is now.

Linux fantasies
are becoming as bizarre
as the Mac's dream time!
To: theFIRMbss
You haven't been keeping up with the times.
When several Fortune 500 firms have decided to change to Linux, and major laboratories have changed, and almost half of servers (and growing) are Linux, the wheel has turned.
Linux has come of age. Only those who are in major denial continue to be oblivious.

I've got plenty of floppies, but I've been looking for an 80 column card for my Apple II+. And when are they going to get the Visicalc upgrade released? Seems like years since the last one....
