Until Macs surrender their pill-mouse, they can say all they want: a $20 three button roller mouse owns all their fancy usability.

the macbooks own all pc lap tops. Aside from the high price. But I mean COME ON, look at those graphics cards in there, and built in isight.

I'm sorry, but pc's got owned.

That's a little overboard on the excitement scale, macguy. What I want to know is...

Which VO client do I download now?

You download the mac one.

It's still a Mac. And VO will run under Rosetta until Guild Software provides a universal binary wich is a fat, multi-processor binary application.

For those interested, i've ran VO under the Intel mac at the office (yep, I've had one for 6 months now). It works.

Then, do tell, how well it works.

it never ceses to amaze me how much people value those 2-3 buttin mice.

and actualy apple laptops are as expencive or less expencive than comprably equipped non apple machiens (you have to upgade the tar out of the non apples before they match the standard equipment in an apple powerbook)

That MacTel box we have at the office is the prototype box we've seen at WWDC. It has worked flawlessly. Not a single glitch with anything we've thrown at it.

The one thing that does not function, understandably, is CodeWarrior's debugger wich expects a PowerPC version of GDB. Though, that was somewhat expected. Every developer software release Apple has made recently managed to break CodeWarrior's debugger. CW sucks anyhoo.

This is sad time, as Apple switches from the better designed IBM chips, albiet slower, and a smaller company, to Intel. But it is also a happy one, because it should pick up Apple sales (people couldn't care less about how a computer chip is built, its all about marketing, a.k.a. the name) and now Apple has a huge everyday name into their computers that should fool people into thinking that Apples are somehow "better" which technically they are.

But its still sad to see IBM go.

Apple's been telling everyone to avoid CodeWarrior for like 3 years I think, Mogul.

Nice. I'll stay away until the bleeding-edge users have all the bugs worked out. Maybe 2007 I'll consider an Intel PowerMac upgrade...

But, hmm, doesnt this belong in the Mac forum?

The problem isnt that nobody reads it, its that nobody posts there.
Jan 10, 2006 macguy link
It should stay here, just till tomarrow. So more people can see it.
Jan 10, 2006 yodaofborg link
