Sounds good. :) What about Numbers? I pray they don't dumb it down like Pages, please!
If a word processor can even be dumbed down, it's been poorly designed... Pages is my wp of choice now for just about everything. I find Word too noisy-- I have never used more than half the functions in Word (even after putting in a good effort to "learn to use them effectively").
I agree with the crowd that thinks compatibility is important. There's two levels of compatibility though-- functional and superficial. If they can make it functionally compatible with a reasonable subset of Excel functions, then it will be enough for me to use and share files.
There are times though when superficial compatibility is critical-- where it needs to print and format on another machine just the way you wrote it. I run into this problem with Keynote-- I can export something to Powerpoint to use as a starting point for cleanup, but it's rarely presentable straight from export.
Maybe Cellmate?
I like it! Much better than "Charts" or "Numbers"...

I like my desktop like I like my desk top - clean. I use Quicksilver and Spotlight religiously. Hotkeys are beautiful.
Menubar Applications:
- Quicksilver for application launching
- Dropbox for file project sharing
- iMOnTime for assignment and project reminders
- Caffeine to keep my screen awake
- Shion for controlling the lights in my room
- Facebook Notifications for...Facebook...notifications
- Screensharing Monitor (turned on temporarily, forgot to turn off)

I just bought an iphone 4 on Saturday. My mute button was broken, I didn't feel like getting it fixed and didn't want to wait until September for 5. Not regretting it at all! I plan on selling the 4 in the future, but might just wait for Iphone 6 in 2012 now. That's what I would recommend anyone doing who has a 3GS dying
my 3G is dying too :) but I need iPad 2 first
i would rather go with dumb phone and iPad 2 for use in school etc

Apple has been the extreme minority in selling personal computers since 1986. Their pc marketshare has been below 10% for how long? 20+ years...and still is even though they are selling like hotcakes.
I like the Macs...I also like the Wintels. And I also, as a consumer, am not going to plunk down $1200+ for a Mac when a $600-$700 PC will allow me to do 100% of the same stuff just using different name-brand-products. :) And other consumers who are out there looking to buy a new computer to surf the web, play music, surf Youtube, upload pix, go to Facebook, use online chat, read email, (and a billion other online activities) are going to ask themselves "why am I spending $1200 for a Mac using Firefox when I can buy a $600 PC using the same Firefox?"
I don't want to go too off topic but suffice to say these days, so much pc time is spent online that you could be using any computer manufacturer/OS in the world that supports Firefox or Safari or IE and you'd have the same experience. Why spend double?
No one wants to pluck down $6-$700 as you claim every other year as their Windows PC's fall a part. I'd rather just throw down for a Mac that will withstand the test of time.

So i got this iMac off eBay for just �2.15! It's a tangerine model with a 10 gig HD and 160 mb RAM, running 10.3.9. Actually came with Word for mac installed. Gonna get a usb dongle to get it on the web. My only complaint is that I can't sync my iPhone.
:eek:that's the exact same spec (but i had a 6gig hdd) that my first imac was but i paid �25

Any evidence supporting this claim with Linux on Intel? Perhaps there is a fact sheet posted on Microsoft's website.

http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/02/27/un-security-council-refers-libya-iccUN: Security Council Refers Libya to ICC
Resolution Aimed at Stemming Violence and Bringing Justice
FEBRUARY 27, 2011
United Nations Security Council diplomats vote on a resolution during a meeting on Libya at UN headquarters in New York on February 26, 2011.
The Security Council has risen to the occasion and given notice to Gaddafi and his commanders that if they give, tolerate, or follow orders to fire on peaceful protesters, they may find themselves on trial in The Hague.
Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Program
(New York) � The United Nations Security Council�s unanimous resolution referring Libya to the International Criminal Court (ICC) sends a strong signal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his commanders, as well as other governments in the region, that the international community will not tolerate the vicious repression of peaceful protesters, Human Rights Watch said today.
The resolution adopted on February 26, referred the crisis in Libya to the ICC, imposed travel bans on key Libyan leaders, and froze their assets.
�The Security Council has risen to the occasion and given notice to Gaddafi and his commanders that if they give, tolerate, or follow orders to fire on peaceful protesters, they may find themselves on trial in The Hague,� said Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Program at Human Rights Watch.
Human Rights Watch said the Security Council�s referral to the ICC appears aimed both at bringing justice to the Libyan people and avoiding more victims.
How ironic that two of the permanent members of the UNSC have invoked the ICC without themselves recognising it.

You can buy an enclosure and put whatever hard drive you want in it. A good enclosure should be able to keep the hard disk cool.
I can't suggest specific enclosures, but I do know that the Western Digital Caviar Black is a hard disk with a good reputation.

I recent had to make this same decision......
In my case, I had to chose between a Quicksilver 733 that CompUSA had for $999 (including 2 year warranty) or one of the new ones (in my case, probably the dual 867) for $1699.
I went with the Quicksilver, and with the money I saved from the new ones...I've replaced the stock hard drive with 2 WD Special Edition drives, maxed out the RAM at 1.5GB, and will add a DVD-R drive. With the upgrades, I've still spent less than $1699.
I don't regret my choice at all....I realize "official" benchmarks will show my machine is slower than the new models, however, after having played with them in the store, my eyes can't tell any difference. Yes, for Photoshop and iMovie, the new ones would probably save me some time, but the Quicksilver will hold me over nicely until there is a "major" upgrade.
I'll be content to keep this until Apple goes with the new IBM chip, which seems to be able to offer a significant performance boost. Until then, I'll have a drink and wait :)

Wouldn't a more obvious (and useful) feature be for iPhoto to "connect" to Google Maps and directly download maps/directions that would then sync to your iPod? PDAs have this kind of functionality, but there's no obvious or seamless way to do the same with your iPod. I'd like a button that brings up a dialog that lets you enter a zipcode or a startpoint & destination then automatically downloads maps and a set of directions that syncs to the iPod.

I'm not aware of any income "tax" on your accumulated wealth. Any such tax would not be an "income" tax.
The only thing you've succeeded in doing is proving that it's YOU who knows nothing about taxation. How about I list just ONE tax on accumulated wealth?

Someone needs to convince a game developer to port the code over as a game disk.
Rather than spend $200 on the HD linux kit you could spend ~$40 on the disk and a memory card, and just pop it in and fold.
That is a great idea.

This is all so funny. Almost as funny as Apple's total failure in the server market. Remember? They recently cancelled the Xserve product line and they even quietly retreated from developing a standalone server version of OS X. Did you guys laugh so much about that, too?
Here's what Ballmer had to say (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aBLgYAyJLFug) at the Zune launch:
Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer says he can break the dominance of Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod in the digital music market with the Zune player that hits stores across the U.S. today.
Please point out a statement from anyone at Apple stating they were entering the server market to compete and win with Microsoft.

So the wifi units sold out first? How many total units? 100 or so?
There were probably 70 or 80 people there. Some bought one, some bought two iPads. I think there were enough for everybody who was there this morning. They handed out tickets and opened the store at 0900 and I was out and happy by 1000.

And if you need to use those Pages or Keynote projects at work or in school?
Easiest question I've answered all day. Use a laptop.
DVI to VGA converter - and you can now use Keynote anywhere. Airport, and you can print your Pages doc anywhere.
Then you have a Mac and iWork wherever you go - despite the OS preference of your work or school.
;)
For those talking about "collaboration tools" - I never have understood the fascination (possibly from lack of my own knowledge). In the school arena, we all know that one person in the group ends up writing the paper or putting together the slideshow. Let's face it - the rest of the group just mooches.
And, if my lonely Mac and I want to collaborate something that I wrote with rest of my Windows-crippled office, they get a PDF. They can either send me general comments or print out a copy and mark it up. It keeps others from mucking with my originals.
Not that I'm paranoid about other people touching my documents. :cool:
