Although I still use my "antiquated" older PowerPC Macs, I'm always excited when Apple releases updates to their models. I'll be stopping by the Apple Store today to check out the new systems. Mayb...
I fall somewhere in the middle. I own an iPod Touch, but still run vintage Macs (G3s and G4s). My ten year old Pismo Powerbook G3, my seven year old iBook G3, and my 1.8Ghz upgraded Powermac G4 ser...
Sharepoints is great if you're still running OS X 10.4 on your Macs (as I do; all older Macs). You can select the volumes to share and Windows picks them up right away. My old 1998 Wallstreet Power...
Where's the Mac?
There was a Mac on Jerry's desk during the entire run of the series. The last episodes had a Twentieth Anniversary Mac on his desk. Cool stuff.
My antiquated, but trusty 12" iBook G3 (yes... G THREE) is still running great after seven years, but the charger's cable has frayed to the point that I now need tape to hold it to the charger and ...
Macs and their users will always get short shrift from those who have bought into the marketing. It's only a computer, but one that brings out deep feelings for some odd reason; probably due to the...
The Air is doing just fine in its market segment. Apple has a perception problem in that people will pooh-pooh one of their products due to its perceived shortcomings, then buy a different model su...

I like lugging my 12" Powerbook around, and will enjoy lugging my 13" Macbook Pro around come this fall. I don't personally have a use for a tablet device, but that's just me.
I can se...
As others have said, it's all down to personal preference. I'm still using my iBook G3 from 2002 for my mobile machine and it's performed flawlessly for me. I have an upgraded (1.8Ghz) Power Mac G4...
I've got a Pentium 4 PC for seti@home and folding@home crunching, but have a number of Macs that I use for everyday machines. My girlfriend has a Powerbook as well.

@Gherm- me too. It's been a VERY busy couple of weeks at work. The rest of your post is spot-on as well.
@RJHD3- And no one will EVER change their computing preferences based on these ...
I set up my spaces for ME. It's never happened, but if a visitor came over and started critiquing my living/working/whatever spaces, I'd just shrug. Why should I care what anyone thinks? Does havin...

@marm0lade- I was thinking the same thing. No wonder that G4 doesn't run! :)

I just leave my iBook with Airport at home and bring my Pismo Powerbook G3, sans wireless and running OS 9, whenever I need to get any work done...
