Default Last sail of the season...?


Trying to pump up your You-Tooob rating, Bubbles?




???? Maybe you could post a video of your boat sailing?

Watching snow flurries out the window. I could be tempted to head south.

I've been running OS X for 3 years now. The only time I use the Windoze
box is to play with Hulls or deal with the braindead intranet web site
at work.


Been working and playing with both since the 80s and refuse to work at
home, so am on a Mac.

The new iMacs are *sweet*! Just got one sorta on a whim, since my 5-year
old G4 was still working just fine and was donated to a poor friend that
had suffered 3 catastrophic failures in as many months. He's in ecstasy:
Finally a machine that actually works.

I, on the other hand, have never been blown away like this. The iMac is
actually 5 times faster than my nearly-new Windoze development box, as
measured by Seti@Home. At the moment, most of the top 50 or so
individual computers in their ranking are Macs.

It's easy to spot the Mac owners at a computer show. They're the ones
saying, "Will that neat program ever come out for the Mac?"...

Only if you're at home playing games, not out sailing. ;-)

Almost every program is either compiled for both platforms or I found a
functional (usually *more* functional) equivalent.

And didn't you hear? Since the switch to Intel, they do Windows, too.
(and less expensively, to boot.)
