Am I the only one who doesn't find Firefox particularly speedy on the Mac? When I bring up a page, I see the page being visibly drawn downwards line by line (it's hard to describe) instead of blinking into view at once.
Also, middle-clicking links to open in background tabs doesn't seem to work. I can't browse without that functionality.
Camino has the same gecko rendering engine as Firefox, but it's very, very speedy for me! And the middle-click thing works.
Admittedly though, the Firefox interface looks nicer and cleaner.

Yeah, Adobe is the Microsoft of the creative industry, except that I have at least slightly more confidence in their decision-making ability. They also have worked well with industry groups in the past.
This is not to say that all of this isn't financially motivated by them - right now they have to write filters for every raw format they want to bring into Photoshop, and I'm sure they'll make money off of something eventually (although it won't be like Acrobat).
True, but that's not a problem for the rest of us...having to deal with multple formats is something all of us has to wrestle with, so solving that problem helps all of us, not just Adobe.

I now have a new computer with the new pro mouse and I sometimes miss the hockey-puck because of a couple of reasons. The hocky-puck mouse was really light and very easy to quickly move around also because of it's lightness it glided very easily on almost all surfaces suited for a mouse. The initial problem of having the right side up is just that initial eventually it's just like using a keyboard and knowing where the keys are by the two keys with bumps on them.

??? I thought Blizzard shipped this game on hybrid PC/Mac discs? How did you ever play it (want to "get back into it") if you didn't have the Mac version to begin with? Check again.
Using OS X? Try to download the Carbon/OS X installer from Blizzard. It may be the System 9 installer on the discs isn't playing nice with OS X.
Yeah I use to have a PC and ran it on that, the Diablo II discs I own are PC only, where as Diablo II: LoD is Hybrid.
Thanks for the input guys.
I found it at a store for $25, seems a bit much for the age of the game :(. Ohwell... I'll get there.

Good replies, Nipsy. Although you completely misunderstood some of my points addressed some points that i wasn't even talking about and also made some points that i completely disagree with.
I might make a proper reply addressing these tomorrow, if:
A. I have the time.
B. I can be bothered.
Oh and i'm well over 18, have a very high IQ and a masters degree. :) That doesn't make me any more likely to be right or wrong than you, i'm just saying, seeing as you made some delightful comments about 13 and under 18 year olds in your aforementioned post.
If you guys don't mind Apple being behind in hardware, then, quite honestly, stop whining about it.
So many Mac users spend hours a day, talking about Apple and what they're doing wrong, but never take any action. If those who care about Apple being the slowest computers on the market are not going to do something about it, then they should shut up about it.
If you're going to whine about it constantly and then get upset with someone who says it's not good enough, then you're just a stupid hypocrit. I realize that you're happy with the productivity your Mac(s) has brought you, and are incredibly loyal to Apple, as well you should be, but if you're going to complain about it, then at least make some attempt to do something about it. or shut up about it.

I love the iBook but it is definately not cheaper than the iMac in Australia. I have looked around and it, (the iBook) seems to be about $500AUD dearer than anywhere else, exchange rate adjusted.
A basic iBook costs $2795 and thats with G3 600 + 20GB + 12"TFT + 128MB + CDROM, while an iMac basic costs $2595 with G4 700 + 40GB + 15"TFT + GeForceMX + CD-RW + 128MB. This has got to change apple!!!
Yep, the darn things are even put together closer by than the US.
But don't old your breath. Apple Aus has never been good value (for price or service) and this will not change in a hurry

I am looking for coverage / webcast of this event last year when Apple launched Aperture, the Quad core Powermac & Dual layer Hi res Powerbook. Its not on Apple's site but I'm sure I saw it somewhere on the web at the time, I distinctly remember the Aperture demo? I have searched this site and Google every way I know how and come up with nothing. Did coverage of this event ever come out anyone know where to see it?

But yes I did hear there was goin to be a Superdrive and 80 gig option on the Powerbook Harddrive
why not the ati 9000 on all apple laptops with other major features differentiating the consumer and pro models like screen size, RAM capability, and ports
some pc laptops have the ati 9000 and they are priced near the ibook level
this would be a good shot in the arm for apple inc to have such a strong laptop line with heavyweight graphics card across the board on their portables

Oh no no I didnt mean you were bragging. I mean't I'm litteraly Jealous of you.
Jobs I can find that pay 9+ you either need to work construction, which no offense but I can't speak Spanish (its texas), or you need to work as a Telemarketer.
Night shifts at walmart might get that pay also, but I'm not sure.
I go to a community college right now so there is no housing help what so ever and the cheapest apartment with in 20 minute drive is 650 a month for single bedroom. With 16 hours for spring semester there was no way I could survive on the pay most places pay here... That is why I am jealous becuase if I was making 9+ oh man...
Sorry to hear about your dilemma- although, it is one shared by the vast majority of college students. I certainly count my blessings.:)
Although, my extra money usually goes to financing my addiction to all things Apple...... :rolleyes: :D

It can infect the mac partition? :eek: oh well there goes my 'theory'
It can infect the mac partition, but only if it can see it. Which, normally, wouldn't be the case. Mac partitions are HFS and Windows can't normally see HFS partitions. They would need a program like MacDrive installed.

Especially not in "hardware specs." So what if these things are released around the time of a 4+ GHz P4. WHO THE HECK REALLY WANTS THAT CRAP?!
If you're into Apple, freaking yay. But don't act like a bunch of little weenies and get all super-paranoid and stressed over what may or may not happen in the future. Please. Apple will still be there, and if you're still a Mac user by then, you'll probably be pretty happy with the offerings. Enjoy what you have now, and get over it already. It's so funny you can go onto a forum and see hundreds of people bickering and going bonkers over the latest dorky Mac rumor, and almost nobody talking about what they even DO with their machines. Wudda world, wudda world...
Why is it that I have an old rev A G4 450 Sawtooth that rocks out to this day, even with its Rage 128 AGP (not Pro) graphics card. And all sorts of peeps are freaked because THE UBERMAC's freakin' SPEC scores are weak. I know that I couldn't give a rat's arse, and that's true for 97.5% of the Mac user base. I love my machine as much today -- no, in fact more -- than the day it arrived. The PPC970's are going to be BEASTS, and the thought of them makes me quiver.
:P
Amen!
I've got the same machine at work and with the proper RAM the only thing it runs slowly is Aqua (and all the speed issues that are inherently part of OSX). Everything flies in 9 of course, but I haven't been there for a while. All this wankin' is about numbers, not about getting work done. It's about being perceived by the Wintel Geek Contingent as having wimpy hardware. Unfortunately for Apple, computers are being seen less as wizz-bang electronic Godsends and more like appliances. They will be expected to have the same shelf-life as your microwave oven because unless they break down, they get the job done.

If you want Apple to continue to be "behind" (is that a gentle enough word for you?) in the hardware sector, then that's fine.
But the FACT is that most Apple users, DON'T. They want to see Apple competing with PC hardware properly. Apple is already such a small part of the market and IMO, they need to increase speed to
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Give the people what they want" ? Well most people want speed and numbers.
And anyone who has said "I like your style, Nipsy" in this thread, no you don't, you just like the fact that he's defending your precious Macs. You guys whine and complain about what Apple's needs to do right, but as soon as someone points out that Apple is doing something wrong, you suddenly completely disagree with the very points that you yourselves were making. It's pretty pathetic.
