    It's official : Windows boots on a Macbook Pro!

    Yes, in all likelyhood. I can imagine Apple writing some sort of contract that limits their operating system to their hardware, and burying it in fine print. Would a court inforce such garbage??? I don't know. However, Apple is not shy about using their lawyers to blugeon people into...

    Current video card recommendations

    David: I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL. I'm the one that wants a 512mb card for running Quake 4 in Ultra mode. :wink: I've set an arbitrary limit at about 350 for graphics cards, since I can't think of anything but macs that depriciate faster. I also want a card twice as fast, at least...

    It's official : Windows boots on a Macbook Pro!

    Well, Apple has a history of offering substandard hardware, on changes from one chip to another, that should create increases in sales. The idea being to maximize profit, since a bunch of people wait for the switch, like the move from 64080(?) to G3, etc. Anyone notice if the reviews indicate...

    Current video card recommendations

    David Prior to buying the X 800 XL from you, I did quite a bit of research, and found results like this: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/games-2005_16.html I did find the X1900 to do another 20-30% more speed, but, I don't think that justifys the cost difference from the X...

    Verizon Phone suggestions???

    Yes, they make you pay an additional 10 bucks or so a month, so you can upload photos, taken with your camera phone, rather then just being able to connect with a USB cable, and load the pictures to your computer. I think my plan is up, like this week, and, anyone have suggestions for a better...

    Verizon Phone suggestions???

    Those look really cool, but, very expensive. How do you hotsync to your computer, and, how do you setup blue tooth, or WIFI, if the phone doesn't have the drivers? GS

    Verizon Phone suggestions???

    Hi My phone is up, and I am looking for a new one. Verizon deal is pretty good, but, the phone sucks. Need a big LCD, bad eyes at reading distance. David has ideas I don't even know about. I'd like a phone with datebook on computer, phone, and Palmpilot. Any ideas? s

    Heh!!! The lights came with the fan controller, and, I did NOT know they were there. That said, what I like about that case, is the front bling bling, in the lights, and, the near full case size, giving extra drive bays, and, it's quiet, and it's quiet, and, it's quiet. David's Novell expert...

    Video cards: AGP vs. PCI 256 vs. 512mb ram

    Hi I've been playing around with Quake 4, and to run at highest settings requires 512mb of VRAM. Now the ATI 1600 pro, AGP has it, for around 160 dollars, if anyone really had one. I could also go to a PCIE and dedicate another computer to that. Has anyone compared the X800XL and the X1600...

    Guess they had 'artistic' parents that pushed or helped both to their careers. I don't find it shocking that they may appear uneducated, or poorly educated. I'm sure putting together their careers has taken a tremendous amount of time, and that development in other areas will come in time. One...

    To put it bluntly, artistic types tend to be either effimenate, or gay, in speaking and mannerisms, and politics. So, they see men as artists as well, and their self-conception is selecting our actors. Not only do you have years of huge women, but you have just as long, a trend to 'artistic'...

    There is no closet in Hollywood. All you have to do is listen to a few director's cuts, and raving gay becomes obvious. It certainly is intresting that all the leading men, or almost all, are now very short, and, the vast majority of leading women are taller then the men.??? I think it's...
