Re: [CGUYS] Hp Hulk Monitor
Excuse me for asking the obvious question, but have you tried the adjustment buttons on the front of the monitor? If you have young kids, that is one of the things they eventually get around to messing with, whereas the adults just forget that those buttons are there. I found the display manuals here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?lc=encc=usproduct=324213dlc=en Let us know how it turns out. From: One Man [mailto:one911...@yahoo.com] The display on the monitor of my hp pavilion f1703 running windoze xp has transformed its insipid blue background to hulk green. Anything I can do or is it time to buy a new monitor, preferable made my macintosh? ;) With thanks in advance ... * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Highly unlikely. Or could this be another variation of Laptop Hunters? Somebody complaining about Apple who did not actually step inside an Apple Store? Misinformation planted by M$? Sure, it's possible. MS has been taking a few pages out of Apple's playbook recently, all to great tantrums of Appleistas. Page one is lie, distort and misinform. Considering your reaction, they must be spot-on. After all this is CIO magazine. They cater to bone heads. I'll keep that in mind the next time they pimp another article on Macs in the enterprise.

I think it's as likely that your interpreation is as much horse shit as theirs. Reality is rarely that simple. Maybe it has something to do with Apple timing the release of the new iPhone to come at the end of 2Q and not the begniing of 3Q as they did the last time. This front-loads the iPhone numbers and makes the quarter look plumper than it would have otherwise. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

The success of the iPhone artificially depresses iPod sales figures as anyone who buys an iPhone gets an iPod as part of the deal, but Apple has never been afraid of competing with itself. I was in the local Apple Store last night looking at a new iPod Touch. The second generation Touch is a different kind of iPhone. It has Bluetooth and can take voice input from the iPhone headphone/mic. With WiFi, it can do VOIP [so far it's Skype], but only with a WiFi network rather than a cellular network. Replacing my perfectly good 1st gen Touch that my son gave me when he got his iPhone is tempting, but I wouldn't get an iPhone. Touch with Skype is perfect for my needs since I prefer Nokia phones to the iPhone.

Re: [CGUYS] Build from scratch [was: Switching, and why]
What are you talking about? You write your own ROMS so you can put os x on homemade motherboards? You could build a PC with an Intel board and load Mac OS X if you made minor code changes. Early versions of OS X Rhapsody ran on Windows NT PPC servers. Now X can run on HP, Dell, MSI, etc. The mysterious world of Macintosh hardware is fairly easy to understand if you want to do it. Plenty of Mac users have built and rebuilt their own Mac boxes, but most of us don't care to do that. If a Mac is too expensive, we either buy last year's version, and/or add extra parts ourselves instead of ordering a Mac with the fancy video card or extra RAM or huge HD pre-installed. However, there's no reason for building PCs because you imagine you can't build Macs from scratch. You could if you wanted. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Worse, this is not CIO magazine's own writers saying this, they are quoting an analyst with Technology Business Research who essentially is implying that consumer confidence rebounded in the second quarter, but only for Apple users. That is some interesting professional analysis and fact-checking there. For the doubters, read it yourself: http://www.cio.com/article/497823/Apple_Beats_Recession_Sells_More_Macs_Touts_Value_ At least a bad is an article in The Inquirer which touted IDC's misguided predictions for the quarter as established fact in an article, Apple tanks in the pc market, just days before Apple released their financial report. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1433741/apple-tanks-pc-market From:t.piwowar t...@tjpa.com After all this is CIO magazine.
