  1. Real quick history:

    Apple is the company and was the original name of the computer line. In the early 80's Apple started a new Macintosh division with a different OS. 1984 was the official beginning of Macintosh with the infamous 1984 superbowl TV ad.

    Steve Jobs leaves Apple starts NeXT computer, Apple goes through many CEO's and get run into the ground, Steve comes back with NeXT OS. Introduces the fruit imacs and ibooks, company saved from bankruptcy. 2001 Apple releases OS X (Steves NeXT OS) totally new OS. 2005 Apple switches from PPC to Intel and we are now at the 5th version of OS X 10.5

  2. JDoors all Macs right click always have all Mac come with a mighty mouse people just don't know or see this because the mighty mouse has no buttons for right and left because it uses proximity sensor. To right click you have to use your middle finger without using your pointer at the same time. Actually apple can support as many buttons as you can put on a mouse.

    hitest, I cloned my XP install to a USB hard drive so I can use the same install on both my macbook and imac. Because I registered it inside VMware I can use the same XP on as many intel macs as I like. Also I have a portable Ubuntu and I'm downloading a portable version of BeOS called Haiku. And I think I'll give Slackware a try also.

  3. If you run windows in bootcamp it's the same as running on a PC you actually have a Windows machine, well without a BIOS. I run XP virtually and it still flies.

    But there is no reason to buy a Mac if your a Windows user. They both do the same thing just do it a little differently.

    I believe Fansubs will play with Mplayer or VLC or installing the correct Quicktime codec. I know the Linux community are big into Fan Submission and if you tell them it can't be done on "nix" it will be done. That means opensource and that means everyone can play.

    XP booting virtually on my Macbook.

  4. Your not a idiot someone should figure out a way this can't happen, not a end user. What may of happen is that the file was still opened when you pulled it out but you probably guessed that. Let's hope the file wasn't damaged I would try it on a different computer to see if it's visible there are also apps that can recover files from thumb drives that may rescue whats left of the file google can help with that.

    What OS version and I didn't know anyone was still using Appleworks. That was a great office app wish they would of kept it alive.

  5. I know Apples are a little more then HP and Dell but I think twice as much for the same spec is a little off. I was at Dell looking for a 2.2 Core 2 Duo. There Core 2 Duo start at $999 but for a 1.66GHZ with 2mb onboard cache and I couldn't find a 2.2 with 4mb onboard but 2.0 starts at $1398.

    What a lot of people want is for Apple to sell a more affordable laptop with cheaper AMD or Intel Celerons. But us appleheads seem to be snobby and when Apple sell less powerful machines they sit on shelfs. The less powerful iMacs, Macbooks and less memory ipods and iphones sell about half as many units as the only slightly better spec unites. I think this because of the tiny market share Apple has.

    My equal opportunity Mac.
