Sorry for another answer:)

Nope. Never broken for me. I research what I buy, I know what I buy, and I have been satisfied with everything I have purchased from Apple except that crappy LC back in '93.

So, nothing good after iMac 400DV. I see.

Don't know what the hell you're talking about. I always knew that Apple wasn't open source and I accurately perceive the benefits/disadvantages of incorporating OSS into proprietary code.

First, sorry if you felt offended. I was reffering of the most Mac users that appear on forums (they always argue about OSS). Author was the first one to point clearly the fact that APPLE IS BUSSINESS.

(Do you even know what you are trying to talk about? You do know that Apple goes back to the seventies, right? That most Mac users didn't give a crap about OSS until 2000, right?)

No, I was only there from Quadra to G4 (last models of them)

I have never felt that Apple or Jobs have any feelings for me. They just happen to make the products I want, have the best philosophy, and I like them. I've never expected or felt they should feel anything in return.

Sorry if you felt offended, ... again.

Again, most of the other mac crowd on forums do resemble this author.

Are you sure you aren't laughing at yourself? These views do not seem typical. They hardly seem stereotypical... hardly rational...

I'm a happy person, always laughing, but never to my self:)

Maybe ending of my message was not clear enough. Yes, I probably should include "my personal views"

Nope. No problem running 10.3 on a 400 MHz G3 iMac. It keeps getting faster.

:) If you're happy, I'm happy. I will just forget that Quartz needs some graphics hardware that your computer hasn't got. And the fact that Quartz powers the OSX.

p.s. I still work on Mac G4 Dual 1.25 OSX 10.3 (not mine, I realised that it comes cheaper to rent them for that little need, and I have success in avoiding most of the Mac related jobs), and I can say for sure. THAT G4 IS DOG SLOW.

But I believe you, your computer suits your needs.

No, cheap people buy cheapest. Smart people buy the right product for their needs.
What are you talking about? There is no proof of this. In fact, what proof there is suggests the oppostite -- frequently the highest end G4s sell out quiker than the low end, same for PBs, etc...

Hear, hear. That comes from a guy that bought iMac 400DV

errm,... well,... sec filings, most of the mac owning people I know.

You don't seem to know Apple the company very well at all.

Yes, I see I should ask expert as you. Being a Mac fan (like you) until I got burned pretty hard.

Unboard SCSI -- SO what?

You obviously don't know how costly this hardware is. And being left out of the time with such a money waste is preety hard for a person.

But you as the proud iMac 400DV owner with two printers, two FW harddrives and a scanner (you gotta have big table or are you hanging these peripherals on the wall:) WITHOUT LEGITIMATE OSX (beta, was sold as beta and if some retailer burned you a copy, well... it was illegal) would really have trouble to understand such little thing.
