If you still do that you're just foolish and uneducated I guess.

Ya... but hey. We can still laugh.

The server of course is a monster setup. Apple power by Intel. :up:

there is still stuff to laugh at them about, like not letting the sun spark get OSX, but the server osx is much cleaner and closer to BSD than the client os is

I dont restrict with image verification or time limit, finding information without squinting at jumbled up letters.

Maybe we will be on SSD soon, already looking at options/candidates.

Ahh ok. Good to hear. Yea I help out on another large board 100+k members and I know the searches start to kill the server after a while. So we put a 20 second search limit in.

this site has always seemed fast to me. props to your commitment though.

How much would that cost? SSDs are expensive...

I use a macbook pro as my main machine... Im speaking from experience.
The windows rig is just for games and photoshop.

And i think i might actually get a 3G iPhone when theyre available... Crazy. Still waiting for mobile iChat!

99% of my posts are from my lovely little apple. :)

Yeah there's definitely still plenty wrong or laughable with Apple-can we not say that about any major corporation?-but their hardware and OS has improved leaps and bounds since the mid 90s when I first started supporting them professionally. And the recent switch to Intel was the most major leap ahead in terms of raw performance gain that I've ever seen. Finally my users working with 2GB+ Photoshop files with Illustrator and InDesign and Notes in the background and 50 browser windows open performing various processes really see and feel a dramatic difference with their new machines compared to any time before. And they can run Windows if need be. And vm really "works" now. I could go on...

And, yeah, they're still pretty :)

something along the line of this, but even someone with connections would probably have to remortgage the entire neighbourhood for it:rofl:
