hell im getting one just to run flash & dw on! until the day comes that we can have them on linux, that will do :) i was workin on new gf's g4 imac this weekend and its pretty friggin NICE! they have come along ways visually, which really is why i didnt like them yrs ago even from looks wise macs and linux make windows look like exactly what it is, old & junkie.
then about the virus and exploit part, yeah totally! i know i have problems with xp and u guys say its hardware but rebooting xp 7-10 times a day is pretty bad and i can boot into linux and leave it on 4 a week with no reboots says its not that. cfm in linux is doable but not flash mx 2004 dammit! and thats what makes the mac mini so intriguing, get my feet wet with it and see if i like it as much as linux and its a cool lil gadget! the only problem i see with them as well as the lil ipods and usb drives is its just a new way to transport viruses around and for ppl to get them through firewalls and such. but then again thats another reason to move away from the "bug light" (aka windows) so for $500 its worth it too me! did u see the last norton report where currently there have been 60,000 + windows exploits to date and 60 for mac & linux, that pretty much sums it up. but im sure thats operator error as i was told last night lol so a ? to this is would it be feasable to install cfmx to a removable harddrive and be able to access it from diff puters? and if so would a mac be able to access it if its run on nfts? i know i can in linux but not sure bout the mac. dick, how is it coming with the new lil mac mp3 player/drive and running cfm on? ---------------------------------------- From: Dick Applebaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 4:51 PM To: CF-Talk <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Subject: Re: [SOT] Supporting multiple browsers and versions On Feb 6, 2005, at 1:27 PM, Dick Applebaum wrote: > > To peak your technical interest, OS X comes with most open-source > programming/scripting languages (plus some) pre-installed -- it's all > right there. > > I can't believe I typed peak instead of pique (earlier on the BD list I typed PUBIC instead of Public,,, several times).... Oh, there, I did it again :) ... reminds of Bernard Schwartz on CNN reporting the story about the man who said the F word, then saying Oh, I apologize for saying F___... Jim We're out of synch on our posts (takes me a long time to type... badly) Didn't mean to rehash some things like the KVM,. When the Mac mini was rumored, then announced, I monitored a forum that discussed a lot of these issues from both an Apple and PC user perspective: Some of the things that were attractive to non-apple people were (in no particular order): 1) Full OS included, not home version 2) Freedom from viruses, the need to buy virus software and the time to cleanse the system 3) A CD r&w DVD r drive included (DVD r&w available) 4) small 5) really, really quiet 6) wireless 811.b/g connection to stereo internet other computers (extra) 7) BlueTooth wireless (extra) for kb, mouse, phones, etc. 8) the iLife suite of programs (included) Retail $79, but worth a lot more if you bought the equivalent on a PC (which users said didn't work very well or with many cameras, etc) 9) The fact they could recommend these to non-computer friends and parents & not have to reinstall & retrain them every couple of months because of viruses & complexities, That last was on almost everyones list.
