About this IBM/SIMD talk.
I find it highly ironic that IBM is now seeing the benefits of having a SIMD processing unit on their PPC chips. When Moto first introduced Altivec, IBM declined to use it. They steadfastly resisted introducing it in their own chips. Apple, saw it's benefits and went along with Moto's plans.
That decision probably cost IBM a lot of sales with Apple.
I guess IBM is now back in the SIMD game because of Apple's business.
Just ironic, I guess.

I wouldn't mind seeing a 19" iMac but I agree that the base would need to be larger. I am sure that the engineers are well aware of this and would plan accordingly.
I have been considering a 17" iMac but I am waiting for the next rev with a faster processor and possibly improved graphics, but if a 19" comes out I would definitely be interested.

twillis, you have some good arguments, but I think you are missing the issue here.
Now I don't want to get into an argument here (I think forum arguments are a waste of the sites space.), but I do want to try and adress why I believe it is a bad idea for Apple to go x86.
Looking at where Apple's marketing is going, it is very obvious that they want to draw in the users that do not know much about computers or 'switchers.' By porting OS X to x86, they create two problems for themselves.
1) It adds more choices to the purchase of a new Mac. Now to you and me, this sounds like a good thing, but to Mr. Joe Average it becomes overwhelming. The beauty of Apple's system is that they have a computer for everyone. The people that simply want a computer for the internet and email have the eMac. People that want a very good all in one computer have the iMac. Do you see where I am going here? Looking at prices, it is very easy to see what model is good for you (and please, let's not get into the price discussion. I know that Macs are more money, but we get what we pay for.)
This is very appealing to Mr. Joe Average. At CompUSA, I have no idea how anyone could choose a new computer. There are so many numbers buzzing around at different prices it is hard to believe that anyone could leave the store feeling satisfied with their decision. These people probably don't even know or care what SDRAM stands for, so Apple is out there making it easier for them.
2) The people who would purchase one of these x86 macs would get one with the high numbers right? Well what happens when the get home only to realize that their computer is not as fast as the numbers claim it is? Are they going to feel angry at themselves for not picking the right computer? Probably not. In their minds, they made the correct choice. 800 Mhz vs. 2.4 Ghz, the 2.4 Ghz should be more than twice as fast as the 800 right? It should, but you and I know that it isn't. So the customer just had a bad experience buying a mac. How is that going to make them come back? Intel has already recieved a lot of heat regarding this issue and I would see it as VERY unwise for Apple to enter that stage.
Am I saying that everything is just peachy? No. I firmly believe that something has to be done to get Apple back on top of the speed race. I just don't see x86 as the answer. I just hope that IBM is making those new chips for Apple, that would certainly help.
I'm sorry, I'm probably boring you. And I don't mean to shut you down, I'm just stating my opinions about what the x86 chip means for Apple and I strongly disbelieve in it.
If any of you want to talk man to man, drop me an email at pworm420@earthlink.net or my iChat account is always open under AIM as pworm420. I'll be glad to talk to any Mac fan.

Well, that still doesn't answer john's question - what happened to spikey :D
I remember him, but I wasn't really posting when he was around.
As for self moderating - it was a smaller community back then. Today it would only take a few members to totally foobar the whole site, flame wars in every thread, cats and dogs sleeping together....
It wouldn't be as fun - the mods became necessary from the pressures of member growth.

Just a question: Why do you guys care so much about Superdrives?
When I put a poll out about Superdrives, most people who have them never use them. And those who do only seem to use them for backing up data. Is it really necessary to shove a Superdrive into a Powerbook until DVD replaces CD as the standard media?
Isn't external enough for the little use these things seem to be getting right now?

Well, they did steal over $1000 worth of stuff. Thats a big deal in my book when I only make $10,000 a year and that I'm in college. I know what you are saying but its still crappy for someone to even steal $100 worth of stuff from you.
Well $1000 is grand larceny. Thats not to be taken lightly. Do you know anybody in law enforcement where you live? I would take you're logs that you have made to the police. Ask to sit down with somebody and go over all the logs. Explain it to them like its 3rd grade math.
Also check the local pawn stores, ask if they have any 360s. First place to look when you get something stolen.

What you are saying are untrue stereotypes about Windows OS. Windows NT4, 2000 and XP are extremely stable and, if you like it or not, service packs realy work. Finaly that thing about new bugs is only in your imagination.

Responsible for electrical design of cool and stylish Apple products. This person will be a member of a top-notch team with responsibilities for the design, implementation, and integration of digital electronics. The applicant should be familiar with computer system architecture and digital design. Duties include schematic capture, prototype bring-up and debugging, hardware bug tracking, functional verification, signal characterization, and manufacturing support.
May work with outside vendors providing new components or electrical assemblies. Assist and track progress of groups who qualify the product such as reliability, EMC, and safety. Responsible for transitioning product to manufacturing and for working on cost reduction. Must be familiar with battery-operated devices and power consumption estimation. Good communication, analytical, and documentation skills desired. May involve international travel to manufacturing sites.
BS/MS EE or equivalent required, as well as 5+ years experience needed. 3+ years in a lead role preferred. Experience in the following areas are important: SDRAM, Flash, ASIC�s, processor selection, ATAPI, various communication protocols (ie: GSM, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.116, Firewire, and USB), display types and audio and analog integration.

I don't think so, but I would be totally wrong. :o

iGary if you use InCrease (http://calxalot.homeip.net/InCrease/) there is a option in the preferences to set WU's :)

The hell with Iwalk and Ipod, Say hello to iTablet. This is definitly the time and the place for this bad boy. With the advent of Windows XP tablet edition. Don't you think Apple would benefit from a tablet computer. Perfect for Photoshop and Illustrator. You could paint right on the screen!. Maybe Steve was right, PDA's have been cornered, its time for tablets! OSX tablet edition. Think about it, why wouldn't they do this!?

Wasn't that "geek fest" in London? I remember reading that and wondering what kind of event it would be. Imagine, sitting around with a dozen people you know only from posts and screen names.
MacAztec, I know what you mean. When something is announced (i.e. new iPods), I don't even bother posting because by the time I finish typing mine, I'm 5 friggin' pages behind. I still remember seeing the first thread on the PowerMac G5. It was, like, 23 pages or something. amazing. Now, anything new gets an astronomical number of posts. Arn's going to have to invest in some Xserves.
