Had my iBook G3 for one year now. Using the same icon set and wallpaper from the day I got it :p

Only difference now is I have panther and know a lot more about OS X then back then.

This is the best computer I have ever owned, I will never go back to the wintel world.

:ninja: Or Something :ninja:

It is just very much worth the $$ you dish out for one...I will say this is the fastest and most responsive computer I have ever used; and is definitely the fastest Mac ever made. Yes, fastest is subjective to each person, but I will say that a seven second startup time for Photoshop CS is the fastest I have ever seen.

On a related topic: When I run Halo, iPulse and Activity viewer show at the most, 50% usage of both CPU's. Would this indicate the app in not multithreaded to maximize the CPU use? And would this indicate that if it were, the game would run twice as fast (which, btw, would be a balmy 90 FPS!)? This makes me very happy, as it indicates to me that DooM 3 will run quite nicely....

Really? Takes about that on my P4 2Ghz...

:ninja: Did you time it? I used a stopwatch... :ninja:

How much memory do you have? I have used Photoshop CS on a P4 2GHz and it took a lot longer than seven seconds...? Not attempting to argue the point, simply curious how you got it to do that for you.

I've been using these BeOS one's for a while now (so the screenies are a month or so old). But generally I don't see much of my desktop (dual display) as you can see in the 2nd/3rd pics.

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
