in sw/hw now is for the iphone, imac. 2 finger Gestures won't work
on the desktop. What happened to the xserve line?
\_ Two finger gestures DO work on the desktop. Have you used a new
Apple laptop lately...they support up to 5 finger gestures.
\_ you're making my point even harder, do the 5 finger gestures

white MacBook. How much hotter will the MacBook be? And, is now a
good time to buy a MacBook, or are there kinks that will be worked
out in the next version?
\_ With Apple just releasing new MBP with Merom CPUs, Macbook update
may or may not be far away, so if you can wait, I'd suggest waiting

but I've returned my MacBook Pro v.1 for the following reasons:
- 7 pounds!!!
- When idling on single proc, it is very hot
- When idling on single proc, it only runs 1.5 hour. Slightly more
when the LCD is turned off for the entire 1.6 hour

days? It doesn't matter the reason for a new machine, I'm just
wondering approximately how soon should I'll need to get a new
laptop if I bought one last year. Thanks Comrades.
\_ Figure about 3 years, maybe 4.
\_ Depends on what you are using it for. For something like email

G4 it is a total piece of shit and I regret getting it. At any
rate, I upgraded from itunes 6 to itunes 7, and now itunes 7
crashes every 5 minutes. I deleted it and tried to install itunes 6
again, but now the itunes 6 GUI keeps saying "Custom Install
on Mac HD, Package Name iTunes-- Skip". I can't make it install

graphics and also cost less?
\_ I think Apple is overcharging for it, since the new model is $100
more from the last base priced model. As components go down in
price, so should the unit, or the specs should go up with a flat
price. However, keep in mind you do get 256MB more ram ($75),

| 2005/11/21-23 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:40679 Activity:moderate | 11/21 I've noticed that the OS X Terminal.app and xterm etc are all
slower than xterm / rxvt on Linux/x86. Even a 500 MHz P2 has
quicker response than a 1.33 Ghz G4 when you are logged
into a server via SSH. I'm wondering what could be the cause
of this lag. Is it something that can be adjusted? I find the
sluggishness the only think holding me back from using a Mac

| 2005/6/7-9 [Computer/HW/CPU, Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:38018 Activity:moderate | 6/7 Why Intel? why not AMD? They both run on notebooks(unlike the G5)
Also, does this pave the groundwork for porting OS X to all PC
machines?
\_ You know, you guys are trying to find good technical reasons
for the move. I think it's actually simpler than that. Economics.
IBM can't produce their chips cheaper than Intel, which we all

those little Shuttle PC boxes. Or a Gamecube. But it doesn't seem
to make much sense compared to an iBook. Why no digital audio output?
\_ you can still do digital audio over usb. Probably the reason
there is no spdif connector is b/c of space/price. I think
it makes a lot of sense (I bought one for my living room),

lots of money these days and mac laptops are just too expensive.
To those who have used both Mac and PC laptop, are there cheaper,
faster PC laptops that are no less reliable than the powerbooks?
Are there going to be features that I will miss if I switch, like
target disk mode, etc?

for only a week, I LOVE IT!!! Here's a question for you Mac users--
has anyone NOT like the Macs after trying them out?
\_ yes. i hated those fucking things from the day they came out
and apple abandoned their last decent line of computers
(the apple II). I hate the prices, I hate the interface, I hate
