well like the saying goes...
"keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

im thinking microsoft might be a bit more than just worried
thats quite a big research "project" that they have started

I just love the part where Taylor says "It's to understand the strong points and understand the not-so-strong points"

makes you wonder if hes talking about linux or windows

Dakes · Post by **Dakes** » 18 Aug 2003, 23:06

Bondi, I'm just curious, do you get paid by Apple to promote their products? You really go out of your way for them. If they don't, I really think they should.

Where do you work and what kind of job do you do?

Hawk21 · Post by **Hawk21** » 18 Aug 2003, 23:10

im guessing Bondi's just a complete enthusiast

however a commission per-post package from apple would sweeten the deal

Bondi, it definitely wasn't a dis. I am just struck by how committed you are to their cause 8O I should have guessed you own your own company, only a boss can go to bed past midnight everynight

that is one very nice looking Mac ::Drools:: (which reminds me we really need a drool emoticon

)

i must say that i hugely respect apple for their techincal expertise,their enthusiasm,and just the way that they do everything!

i remember awhile back some movie going through the mac/dos/windows story...cant remember what it was called though but it made for some very interesting viewing.

It does look pretty schweet, doesn't it.

Thats the name of it

id forgotten

while it may not have been entirely accurate (i can understand why they left certain things out) the idea of the movie came through quite clearly.
hmm im gonna go look for it i feel like watching it again.

thanks for the article ill go check it out

(the "visual theme" of the article is the same "theme" i have on my XP machine )

i havnt read too much about it but from what i have its extremely impressive,i heard about the 1Ghz FSB (you also mentioned it awhile ago)
and the 64 bit IBM processor especially is amazing

other than that i havnt read much else im gonna go take a look at the apple site (tommorow...today rather

)

anyways goodnight Bondi,Dakes
(Bondi you should come to the forums more (read:earlier

) often)

LordRage · Post by **LordRage** » 19 Aug 2003, 07:04

Yeah bondi you really should, we all miss your opinion!!

Anyway I have to agree that Apple's have their advantages, but I must say that I am still in love with my PC!

Good to see you in these here parts again, stranger.

How have you been Bondi, busy I presume?

That article is very interesting, it gives a nice unbiased history of computers in general.

But if it's a monopoly, and an illegal one at that, then yes is BMW's fault. They then have responsibility on their shoulders - and that weight is huge.

How so? Nobody forces anyone to use Microsoft products. As you said previously, 90% of apps and games that run on MS Operating systems can run on Mac as well, and plugins can be used to make them compatible with Linux and others. Besides, I'm sure if Macs were as popular as PC's and MS are, they'd have their fair share of virus attacks too.

hehe Bondi

Yep, typing to you right now from a 12-inch PowerBook G4

never miss an oppurtunity to educate us about macs

ive been taking a look at the G5 and it looks pretty good, i saw the tests they did between a Dual Athlon system,Intel system and the new G5.

(ok cant get the pic to work just check here

some interesting results

Magnetic Levitation System

thats pretty interesting it must have been one hell of a (technical) challenge to get that working right.

coiled springs

That's one hell of a lot of torque

id be pretty worried about it slamming shut on my fingers

third mid-range speaker

ok i think thats kind of gimmicky...but then again all the things we take for granted start this way.

You sound like the happiest person to ever type on a laptop

Dakes · Post by **Dakes** » 19 Aug 2003, 22:51

Hmmmm, I wonder if Bondi will reveal it publicly if one of his Apple products betrays him. Nothing is perfect, even our XP systems will give problems sometimes. Me thinks Bondi is a little too overzealous

Their products are good, but surely they have issues too. Bondi?

Hawk21 · Post by **Hawk21** » 19 Aug 2003, 23:02

Oh im sure that Macs are not without there problems, but me thinks Bondi would share if something happened to him...of course i could be wrong

what problems have you had on your XP machine?
ive been running XP for a couple of months now and the only problem ive had was when i overclocked my GFX card a little too high

other than that its been smooth sailing

and i do everything on my pc from Video editing,3d Modeling (strata 3d is great for this

) all the way to Gaming.

Dakes · Post by **Dakes** » 19 Aug 2003, 23:11

Hawk, I said they'll give problems sometimes. But I've never had any, other than the odd one with Detonator drivers. You do 3D modelling? Then you should be able to help with our Game Project that's currently running.

Hawk21 · Post by **Hawk21** » 19 Aug 2003, 23:21

oh no,no,no,no,no

my 3d modeling skills arent paticularly good

if you want i can email some of the pics, and you can see what i mean
