| xiffy | is | booting a fresh HP laptop with Vista, 5 reboots, 30 minutes and counting that freaking time-stealing |
| MarinesEtwas | says | there's 6 flavors of OSX: Home, Pro, Premium, Server, Enterprise. And they all come in one package for $198 |
| MarinesEtwas | says | but i have to admit that Bootcamp doesnt make the Windows Experience any better. |
| MarinesEtwas | likes | XP. But always had a problem with Vista. |
| xiffy | says | the laptop is for my neighbor. and i will neither use vista nor osx. the latter being too much hyped as 'the ultimate' |
| MarinesEtwas | says | it aint of course. 10.6 is coming soon |
| MarinesEtwas | says | never ever install laptops for friends or neighbors. That's what i learned in my career. |
| MarinesEtwas | says | ... |
| xiffy | is | using XP or a linux flavour; xubuntu, CentOS (servers), fedora |
| MarinesEtwas | says | Guess what i have to do tomorrow *g* |
| xiffy | my girlfriend has OSX and she slowly longs back to her PC |
| MarinesEtwas | says | Ubuntu 8 is extremely well done. But i'm old. I dont like to experiment any longer. I have never been more productive than on OSX. |
| MarinesEtwas | says | the Crux is: dont even try to attach hardware that is not from Apple. Starting from Routers, WLan... |
| xiffy | thinks | we have the same age, and experiment a lot less nowadays |
| MarinesEtwas | says | i remember times when my computer life was running after current versions and torrent streams of photoshop cracks |
| MarinesEtwas | says | did i say that? |
| xiffy | ah yes, upgrade after upgrade, beta after beta. the good old days with slow internet |
| xiffy | or copied cd's |
| MarinesEtwas | says | 300baud modems |
| MarinesEtwas | says | afterwards compuserve. |
| MarinesEtwas | says | That was the best social experience of my online life |
| MarinesEtwas | says | but dead expensive |
| xiffy | Mausnet, that was a bulletin boars i presume? |
| [M.] | says | she thought she was the best experience of your online life |
| [M.] | : damn. Another disappointment. Hehe. |
| xiffy | thinks | she could pretend to be a 300 baud modem and a Mausnet |
| xiffy | will | perform the final reboot |
| [M.] | mutters Reboot? Me? NOOooo ... |
| MarinesEtwas | says | the fun with compuserve was the existence of other people on AOL |
| MarinesEtwas | says | M would be the best social experience if there was something as good as M next to her...but there simply isnt. |
| MarinesEtwas | says | now, how did i get out of that? |
| MarinesEtwas | says | APPLAUSE! |
| xiffy | has | finished this job. and gives marinesetwas 6 out of 10 for the effort |
| MarinesEtwas | says | what? Still not switching to OSX? |
| MarinesEtwas | says | hey, DARWIN is OpenSource |
| MarinesEtwas | says | i will win the lottery and equip all the world with it. |
| MarinesEtwas | says | i expect the packages to reappear on ebay in some cases |
