Totally agree...and wish there was some good way to get MSN webcamming on my Mac. :( I also can't wait to try initiating a multi-person chat from Adium. That's another feature I used that drove me to MSN msngr or iChat periodically....
But the contact list is very nice, although I had to spend about 10-15 minutes massaging it to get it back on the screen at once. Some of the size adjustment sliders seem kind of goofy -- I find them very hard to control, and the size limitations are strange. So I wanted my contact list in a single full screen height column, with everyone showing, with no scroll bar. I had that fine in 0.63, and I got in 0.7, but I had to go to an 8 point font and get rid of the avatars / status icons to make it fit, because they couldn't size down beyond 12x12. Which admittedly is just a slightly cuter looking version of what I had with 0.63. But still nice.
We'll see when iChat 3.0 is out with Jabber support if there'd be a possibility for a plugin that could enable msn or yahoo.
For now I will stay with iChat and just ignore everyone on msn because I know quite some people that I do video/audio-chatting with but I do have to agree that Adium is very nice.

oh, and if the internet provider is giving you the run-around.
http://www.ip-adress.com/
go here, type in the IP address and it'll tell you exactly where the server is that they are connected to. It gives you the IP latitude and IP longitutde.
tell them that it is being connected at this server location and they'll be able to location exactly which hub it's being connected at and .. yea. trace the burgulars home down..
Now that just doesn't work for me either. It's saying I'm in Oxford. :confused:

My guess:
iBook 12"
800mhz G3 or 700mhzG4
32MB VRAM
256MB Standard
No more 14" model
TiBook
867mhz (lowend) and 1Ghz (High)
64MB VRAM
No SuperDrive
14" is brought back in January as the SE model...with higher resolution and a graphite case.
Probably off though.

Sweet...I'm sold if it does that and that's what the shops here are doing. Currently in Thailand you'd be hard pressed to find any system that's not modded. It's funny because you have to pay double to get a non modded system :D
Some of the Japanese games are a bit odd and I'd like the ability to play US titles...just wish they had something like this with the VC because I don't have any guarantee I'd be able to play some of the games as the screenshots look like all the text is in Japanese.

It doesn't even really look that great. You have to purchase an entire kit (hd, kb, mouse, DVD,...) just to run linux on there :(
A good point. By the time PS3 is out, it might even be cheaper (at least not much more expensive) to just buy a G5 mini ;) and set it to Fold 24/7. Just hate to think of that h/w sitting in my closet doing nothing...

Hi all, new here. Addicted since original consumer release date. Abandoned PvE server with a lvl 60 +alts for the cheap thrill of a PvP server. Dial-up and min spec comp ruined all chances of fun. Rural location prevents broadband speed, empty wallet prevents hardware upgrade. Higher power intervention? Quit since BC release. Still fiending.... Is there hope for me? "Wii Knee" has become injured, unresponsive. Thank goodness for a forgiving and lovely wife. Thank You.

"AMD will beat Apple anyway. Hammer versions of Athlons are due out early next year to mid next year"
As you well know, Apple is not competing directly with AMD. Apple is competing with the PC manufactures (Dell, Gateway, etc.) using 64-bit AMD chips and OS's that would utilize 64-bit technology from say, Microsoft.
There definitely is a Hammer chip, but which manufactures are vowing to use it, and will there be a Microsoft OS 64-bit compliant Windows -- all complete and ready by the time the AMD chip is released. In addition, are these companies looking to produce Desktops with this technology, or more primarily focusing on server use. Do these manufactures even have incentives to upgrade to 64-bit technology when they have 3+ Ghz intels, and AMDs? For all lmarketing purposes, they would be downgrading (1.8 ghz (64) compared to 3+ ghz (32)).
I wouldn't count Apple out on this one -- them being first and doing it well. I would say they have incentives to integrate this 64-bit tech for the pro side -- the side of their product line that might be hurting. How do we know that Apple hasn't been colaborating with IBM and configuring OS X Panther (or whatever) to run spanking fast with the new chips? And have PowerMacs already working at headquarters?
And
The unique thing about Apple is that in order for this 64-bit thing to take hold, it needs to colaborate with two people: itself and IBM.
With other manufactures, they have to colaborate with: themselves, Microsoft, and the Chip maker.
Maybe Apple can be first?
I don't know, it is just a brainstorm...

So the previous "beta" releases on the Mac were just alphas? Interesting. How long has Opera 8 been in the making? I am surprised that they're already releasing it, but maybe it just feels short.
*downloads Opera 8.00b1*

The first alpha was posted on Jan. 7, so I'm not sure that this is a "short" job or anything. Opera for Mac snapshots (http://snapshot.opera.com/mac/)
First significant bug - can't install skins anymore. However, I can log into VersionTracker now.

They already do. Someone at work just bought a new Dell and I helped him set everything up on it (ie- delete all the dell crap preinstalled). There was a few google things on there already- google talk, google desktop, etc. Good to hear- google makes some great programs.

Javajedi, what you've done with your benchmarking is very helpful and I believe provides much insight. I too was surprised to see that the PowerPC performed as poorly as it did. Sorry if I missed you addressing this, but did you use GCC 3.x on the PPC?
There are a few conclusions I could draw from this performance data:
1) AltiVec acceleration is crucial to attain performance competitive with x86.
2) In the best case, AltiVec-accelerated code will perform several times faster than optimized x86 code. However, the best case is very rare and limited to specialized tasks like BLAST, RC5, SETI, certain Photoshop filters, and so on.
3) In the worst case, AltiVec-optimized code will perform barely any better or perhaps even worse than non-optimized code.
4) The G4's integer and floating-point units are extremely weak.
4a) Even MHz-for-MHz, they appear to be slower than those of the Pentium 4.
4b) The 750FX's integer unit is stronger than the Pentium 4's clock-for-clock, but considering the Pentium 4 is clocked 4x higher at the moment, it does about 4x better overall.
5) The c't SPEC benchmarks from a while back (the only source of G4 SPEC results I'm aware of) weren't that far off.
I'm disappointed but not surprised to see that gopher has split from the thread. Oh well, I'm sure he'll reappear at a later date oblivious to everything that has just been presented in this thread.

You probably didn't know about Audio Hijack Pro (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/), did you? With that, you don't need to monkey around with all this third-party soundcard business, and it works on any Mac. It does much the same thing this hack does with Winamp, only this is infinitely more flexible.
heh thats awsome!!, and no i didnt know about auido hijack pro.. sounds like a nifty tool that could come very in handy, about time someone out there did that for mac....
later...

WHO THE HAY GIVES A POO?!?!
So what if they come out late 2003 or at the January MWSF '04. Does it really matter? The answer is, no. Apple is not competing with the Windows world, in many ways. 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.

Other models get new MHZ upgrades and bluetooth std.

i dropped superca$h for the kensington studio mouse.
it's optical and has a scroll sensor *not a wheel*
it's absolutely out of this world. takes some getting used to, but is very configurable. i enjoy using it, and it goes with a powermac or iMac as far as looks go quite seamlessly. prima, prima, but as i said, much money. 50-60$
