10/1 Though I'm likely the last Mac-oriented CSUA member to upgrade my
OS, I gotta say that invoking ssh from the UNIX innards of my
iBook is wonderful/weird. -elizp
\_ Hey buddy, try invoking your terminal to 80 columns.
\_ Ain't it cool, though? It still gives me shivers. Now go install
Quicksilver and let's really get this party started.
\_ Pffft, you could do this on a PC laptop for the past ten years...
Apple, the company that hypes up things that everyone could
do already, i.e.
Ipod - glorified nomad jukebox
iBook - glorified laptop that runs half as slow as everyone

\_ did steve jobs kick your puppy or something?

\_ Then find an Apple ][ emulator and download it.
I found Bilestoad and Taipan online.
\_ I don't miss my sun ultra 5, anymore. My G5 screams. It's the
best of both worlds: Mac & unix.
\_ What you said. Most people who complain about Apple haven't
actually tried the new stuff yet.
\_ You're comparing an ancient U5 to a modern G5? Duh.
\_ Actually, it's a pretty good comparison; the U5 was
underpowered and based on old PC technology when it came out. |
