im starting to wonder if Apple did a good thing by restarting and doing a clean implimentation of an OS. i mean OS 8 could barely run well on a Pre G3 and now that the systems to …

Runs fine on an 8600 with 64 megs of ram. Runs better on a G3 though

Reasons for OSX 1. Error type 1 2. Error type 2 3. Error type 3 REBOOT REBOOT REBOOT Force quite = 20% effective Virtual memory now = joke, OSX=robust (we hope) REAL multitaski…

Forgive me if this subject has already been dealt with, I can't find the information anywhere. What kind of Ram Requirements does Mac OSX have? What will it have? The way Apple…

Minimum 64 megs RAM.

64MB is the minimum to basically get past the login screen. You'll need more if you want to use applications, especially Classic. 128MB is a good starting point, twice that makes…

Mewha is scaring everyone by saying we need 256 MB to get OS X really running well. 64 MB is enough. There a lot of bulk in DP4, a lot of rough edges that push up RAM use and slow…

I suspect that 128 megs would be the minimum for casual usage, in this particular version (OS X DP 4). It's nice from what I can see, but it feels like it should be faster than it…

Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd be really interested to see screenshots from people who are running non-U.S. English system software and applications, and photos of their keyboards…

Tried all the foreign Apple sites I hope? www.apple.ru www.apple.co.jp etc... notice on Apple Japans website the Airport is called the Airmac? Cipher13

Never even thought of that... Thanks!

I must have been to a dozen Mac shops in Tokyo last summer and didn't take pictures of a single one...d'oh! Anyway, the units themselves look mostly the same as they do in the US.…

I have an Italian iMac DVSE which has extra characters for the letters with accents such as ������ etc. Strangely while Italian Pcs have a qwerty keyboard (plus the letters with ac…

I'll post tomorow a pic of the arabic system desktop... I have the french one if you're interested too!

It's a weird experience but in the past two months I have seen a significant number of PC using friends convert to Macintosh, even some incredibly irritating former Wintel die-hard…

Wish I had. I have been showing the G4 off to a PC friend's son, who did not consider Macs seriously before. He found the Halo movie very impressive and thinks I have a good compu…

i know several peeps who have ditched their winteldrone ways and feel so much cleaner for it 32-bit clean of course

After a recent visit from Alaska , my girlfriend's sister wanting, and very much needing to get a new computer was inundated with all the so called bells and whistles of my girlfri…

I have one Wintel friend that, after hearing a lot about Mac OS X, has decided that he wmight convert sometime in near future... Especially if Apple releases a version of OS X for…

I have one friend who went and bought a G4 because she is interested in graphic design, and has not seemed to regret the decision, even if all my PC friends who used to mock me are…

Interesting about the "three mouse drivers" thing. On three occasions I have had to undo the damage caused by supposed authorised resellers helping things along by pre-installing s…

I have a few friends who switched to mac. A few of them are about to switch back to PC though because of the bad experiences they have had with the Apple dealers they went to. I fe…

I really want to know what was pulled from www.macosrumors.com... Something about the iCube or something... I'm really interested. Mitchell out...

yeah that is it, the so-called iCube... a cube (obviously) formfactor Mac... maybe it was too close to the bone? i was told about it, and that it was subsequently pulled... was to…

I consider the iCube an invaluable piece of hardware! There just seems to be a gap between iMac's and G4 towers... I probably wouldn't recommend iMac's to anyone that wanted to d…
