....if I were starting over, or as a newbie, I'd go with the Apple stuff.
It's simply far more elegant, and the level of tech support available
from some of the smaller vendors who supply Mac software is incredible.
I was trying to set up a popular backup program for the Mac, not the one
that comes with it, and I actually got emails of help from the author of
the program.

But it is the well-engineered (and overpriced!) hardware that I really like.

The original Mac's were some of the slickest looking systems, with some of
the crappiest engineering inside of all systems! No parity on major busses,
minimal power supply, that hardly provided enough power for the system as it
was. Maybe the newer ones are better engineered, but I would not bet on it.
The user interface is very nice, but PARC research center should have
patented it.

I'm not talking about "the original" Macs from 25 years ago. Maybe you
should get out for a look see.

They are not the 25 year old systems, but is from the same culture.



What? Oh...you don't like the "Mac Culture." What's your take on the
*current* engineering in the Macs? You do know that many of the working
pieces and parts are the same as what is in a PC, right?

I'm not at all familiar with the "Mac Culture." But I do like the Mac
stores at the malls, and before I got my new Mac laptop, I looked
through the product lines of at least a half dozen "PC" laptop vendors.
I had been using a rock-solid IBM branded Thinkpad T23, but Lenovo is
now a communist chinese enterprise.

I hate Windoze but if you are willing to live a generation off the
bleediung edge you can have virtually free computing. XP systems are
pretty much junk on the side of the road these days although they are
still very functional. I am still managing to get everything done I
want to do with W/98 but I did build a faster machine pretty cheap
from parts on the internet.

Problem with W98 is some of the applications II had to run would not run
under 98. I think Matlab and Orcad versions I ran were the main culpits.

I know lots of parts are the same as PC's. Hell the disk drives that I
designed were used in Mac's. Same drive as the rest except for a little
firmware change to say it was apple and then Apple would accept the drive.
Bought from Apple for 2x what the same drive sold for from everyone else.
Mac Culture if it is the same as the original Mac would say that go for the
look and feel and forget about the extra cost to design with great error
checking.




Well, I am a pretty careful shopper. As I said, I checked a number of
new laptops first. Of all the ones I saw in the same approximate price
range as the MacBook I got, the MacBook seemed superior in ways that
were important to me: well-designed, sturdy, good screen, good package
of included software, decent-sized hard drive, long life on batteries,
decent keyboard, et cetera. The fact that it runs XP and VISTA via a
pretty slick emulator closed the deal for me, along with the 10% discount.

I also like the fact that the Apple stores have resident "Geeks" around
who seem to know their stuff and are willing to help, right on the spot.
Better than calling someone in India, eh?

"Virtualizer" would have been a better choice of words.

I'm using "VM Fusion" on my mac:

Yup. At the moment, it isn't clear whether it really is a company. A
couple of the Mac user sites are following developments there closely,
and apparently several individuals checked out the location where the
company supposedly had its assembly site and found nothing there but
another "Reggie."

If the company turns out to be legit, I'll order a unit. I was going to
build my own desktop Mac just for grins. There are several sites that
outline how to do that. :}

I can think of a number of reasons it would suck to be you, but lets focus
on one for the moment. There are number of us here that have pleasant
encounters or genuine friendships with others in this group. This appears
to cause you to be bitter and jealous in the style of a schoolyard
juvenile. Just because you have 10+ years posting here you are not entitled
to friendship. You can't demand friendship. You can't feign friendship. You
may have alliances, but they are not your friends. If you want to remain
friendless, don't change a thing.You are perfect for the role.(I ;-)

Yup. At the moment, it isn't clear whether it really is a company. A
couple of the Mac user sites are following developments there closely,
and apparently several individuals checked out the location where the
company supposedly had its assembly site and found nothing there but
another "Reggie."

If the company turns out to be legit, I'll order a unit. I was going

Ahh, it's Eisboch's good buddy, CrappyJim of Florida.

Ahh, it's another of old demented Harry's revelations. It really must
suck to be you. Eh.

Why would you say that, CrappyJim? At least I am not you. Oh,
wait...you're one of Eisboch's preferred buddies, right?

:)
I can think of a number of reasons it would suck to be you, but lets focus
on one for the moment. There are number of us here that have pleasant
encounters or genuine friendships with others in this group. This appears
to cause you to be bitter and jealous in the style of a schoolyard
juvenile. Just because you have 10+ years posting here you are not entitled
to friendship. You can't demand friendship. You can't feign friendship. You
may have alliances, but they are not your friends. If you want to remain
friendless, don't change a thing.You are perfect for the role.(I ;-)- Hide quoted text -

You mean, *abusing* recreational drugs. Lots of people who use
recreational drugs manage to remain rational. If he actually has a
child, I wonder if George child protective services should arrange for a
home visit.

Bassy was a lot funnier when he pretended to be an "engineer" who grew
pot and made homebrew beer. But, since he went over the edge, he's
really only suitable for bozo bin fodder.

================

Just curious Tim...............why do you never make a comment about the
constant personal attacks and flames posted by here folks like Reggie,
Herring, Loogie, Wayne and Jim of Florida?

Fair question.

Fair indeed. Very simply Jim....

"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up
anger" (Proverbs 15:1).

My dad, being a Christian minister taught me when I was a lttle kid,
that it's "nice to be nice". ie "Do unto others as*you* would* have*
others* do unto you." (Golden Rule = Matthew 7:12)

I may be wrong , but I also feel that there's a chance that there
are many things said on Usenet boards that people 'probably' wouldnt'
say to each other in person. And when it boils down, many words are
said with no meaning, let alone backing.

Even though I have failed many times I also being a Presbyterian lay-
minister, try to avoid name-calling, and accusing, whether founded on
fact or not, and try to stay out of a computer ruckus.

Guys, please dont' take me wrong, I'm not pious, and am not here to
preach, and no way am I "holier than though" ....because I'm not. I
just try not to be involved with verbal conflicts and I don't chose
sides.

There's no possibility that I can live up to His standards, but a
command of Christ was: "This is my commandment, That ye love one
another, as I have loved you" (John 15:12),and wether I win lose, or
draw, that's what I try to live by.

I won't carry on. But I suppose I'll throw in a couple more short
comments.

BTW Jim, Your kawasaki powered JD mower will do well for many, many
hours, but if you need, let me know and I'll get you a starter at my
cost. about $75 (or which of my suppliers has them on the sale
flier) and sdirect shipping.

I can think of a number of reasons it would suck to be you, but lets
focus on one for the moment. There are number of us here that have
pleasant encounters or genuine friendships with others in this group.
This appears to cause you to be bitter and jealous in the style of a
schoolyard juvenile. Just because you have 10+ years posting here you
are not entitled to friendship. You can't demand friendship. You
can't feign friendship. You may have alliances, but they are not your
friends. If you want to remain friendless, don't change a thing.You
are perfect for the role.(I ;-)



There are *maybe* three or four people left in this newsgroup with whom
I would enjoy a "pleasant encounter" or a personal friendship. I assure
you, you are not in that group. Your slimeball behavior here is one of
the reasons why this newsgroup is in the toilet. Perhaps you, Loogy,
Reggie, BAR, and the rest of the turds should get together for a
barbecue and circle jerk.

So, once again, LEAVE!

As much as I like Windoze...(Its about Harry of course)

You have to remember. The only people here that Harry wants to have
anything to do with are those that believe his lies and don't have the
balls to say anything to him about his childish low life actions. JimH
and Don, that's it.


You're getting more bizarre every day.
I don't want to believe all those characters who accuse you of using
recreational drugs...but it's becoming a struggle.



You mean, *abusing* recreational drugs. Lots of people who use
recreational drugs manage to remain rational. If he actually has a
child, I wonder if George child protective services should arrange for a
home visit.

Bassy was a lot funnier when he pretended to be an "engineer" who grew
pot and made homebrew beer. But, since he went over the edge, he's
really only suitable for bozo bin fodder.

Don't bring "George" into this, bozo.

Well Harry, i suppose that would be alright, that is depending on who
the pivot man is....
Hey Tim, I think you know just a little too much about this. (-:
--Vic
Actually I belive the terminology came from the over-the-road days. I
hate the term 18 wheeler, because that's too C.W. McCall-ish.

5-axle sounds better.

"Pivot man" was the load dispatcher. Most guys didn't like him
anyhow....

WHY did you know that?
