I've been following the .Mac Jaguar update fiasco. Man, I've got to admit, this is the first MWNY keynote I would have gone to if it weren't for being stuck here upstate at school due to testing. I'm really glad *now* that I didn't go. I heard there was dead silence when Steve dropped the .Mac

Yup, had this happen to my power adapter (TiBook, 3months old)) last Friday night. I went to the local Apple Store on Campus and they made me buy a second adapter, whilst taking care of the broken one over the weekend. On Tuesday Morning I was scheduled to pick up the fixed one, and I brought the

Jaguar pricing and MS push

Strange bedfellows... I suppose, in a perverse sort of way, Microsoft is helping us in a lobbying effort to make the 10.2 upgrade free for existing X users. Their veiled threats to discontinue MS product support if Apple doesn't expand the user base of OS X seem almost as if they knew in

You wouldn't pay $20 for a month (or two, or three) of free gas, but take offense instead? I guess things like road-service agreements seem like rip-offs, too. Get a grip, Michael. On Thursday, July 18, 2002, at 12:20 AM, Michael Bryan Bell wrote: That is like a gas station saying come
