'Cause if you weren't a troll, instead of just adding noise to the discussion, you'd answer J.F. Mezei's, a devoted Mac Pro owner, question about the hardware of the Mac Mini. You'd explain that the Mini is indeed restricted to "laptop" hardware, because it really is a laptop with the screen, the keyboard and the touchpad removed. The only thing that hasn't been removed is anything to the price tag. So its price is in line with that of other Mac computers. Now, this would have been a valid contribution. But when do trools contribute?

Speaking of morons like Paul B JF Mezel-Mattewson, it's my understanding that Google groups no longer has a killfile function. How do you block messages from trolls like this (or these, considering the multiple personalities)? Bart

Speaking of Linux, I bought a Samsung netbook, which is really a pretty nice little machine, to use when travelling. I wanted something that, if stolen, would be cheap enough that the loss wouldn't bother me and it wouldn't have any information on it that I wanted protected. It came with Windows-7, so I installed Ubuntu Linux in a second partition. I just returned from a 16-day trip using the netbook and Ubuntu for mail and news reading. All I can say for Ubuntu is that it's pretty and for Linux is that it mostly works, but the newsreader was slowly going chaotic and becoming unusable. I was so happy to return to OS X and OS/2 when I got home. (The Win 7 partition is useful because the only software Garmin supplies for my GPS runs only on Windows. Jerks. Never buy a Garmin product.) Incidentally, I don't have to worry about viruses in OS/2 either. -- John Varela |
