    Mine has been running for 3 weeks without a restart now
    And that time I restarted becouse I had upgraded the system

    • I've prevented 2 people from buying a Mac and they bought a pc instead.

      I'm so proud of myself!

        Way to GO!!!

        But the ALT doesnt really help me, i tried it in my explorer, it underlines them temporarily only, AND on the top of the window. But I want them to be underlined all the time, specially in right click option windows. There has to be a box I can check to enable them somewhere.

        • When you ask that kind of question, you're bound to start a holy war.

          Anyway, here's a link that puts things in a new perspective:

            • I suppose it is a matter of what you want to do with it.

              I have never used a Mac, but on an intel-based PC I prefer Windows for entertainment but Linux for work. I am sure it is the same for Macs - some things will be nicer on PCs and some nicer on Macs - it just depends what you want to do.

              • Hmmm. No, can't think of anything I'd rather do on a mac. Oh, yeah, the radio station bit of iTunes is quite cool.

                  Kindly help me find them on that site, because I'm seeing lots of "problems" where people use the registry to change values, remove traces of programs, etc.

                  But I don't see anything dealing with problems with the registry itself.

                  You lose. There's no .NET anymore.

                  By .NET, I'm referring to the .NET CLR, managed code, etc.

                  And there certainly IS a .NET, Explorer.exe in Longhorn is written in .NET (Managed Code), and Visual Studio .NET 2003 just shipped last week.

                    [size=5]WHY IS EVERYONE TRYING TO ACT LIKE MORMONS SAYING "MY RELIGION (eg computer. But your all acting like its a religion) IS BETTER THAN YOURS!!! HAHAHAHHA".

                    PANAG: PCS ARE FINE.

                    ASHER: MACS ARE FINE.

                    BOTH OF YOU NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE AMERICAN TEENAGERS AND BEGIN DEVELOPING A RATIONAL, CIVILIZED THOUGHT PATTERN AND JUST ACCEPT THAT 5 PERCENT USE MAC AND 90 PERCENT USE WINDOWS.

                    OK?!?!?! [

                    Now.......IMO, PCs triumph over macs. The MACs I've seen freeze too much, didn't have too much software, most games are PC first......But I hated Windows 98 cause it crashed more than a mac.

                    Windows XP is the perfect OS for me. I can leave it on for days, even weeks at a time without it crashing.

                    To me, it's also faster. I can detect a difference. I don't care if Photoshop takes .6234603684206849083423 seconds longer to load on my PC. I don't care if some microsoft program takes .70298436092834068236 seconds longer to load on a Mac. If I can see a difference, then I'm going to go with the faster and cheaper one.
                    hi ,

                    no need to use huge print , .... i use both


                    i have seen several pc's who where problem childs , yes , more then mac's who would only be working okay ones oem software was uninstalled or after a reformat , ....

                    as for certain cad programs , i agree that even a trackball cant do it all , but ones you are used to one , you never want a mouse again

                      Yes. Mind you, OSX Wouldn't install on 3 of our four macs, and ran crap on the last, so we decided against it. Whereas on the PC, You've got a whole series of relatively stable OSses to chose from... A PC the age of these macs and the same price (ie. much higher specced) would run 98SE very nicely, an OS which doesn't just crash out randomly when you try to open a picture in the wrong format.
                      Well whoever is running your system must be incompetent. You can slag off OS 9 all you like. It's competitor was Windows 98 which is perhaps the worst operating system ever sold (I know this - I had to fix my parents computer because of it). Apple has moved on since then.

                      I've set up three OS X systems recently for colleagues who are even less techie than me. There have been no problems at all.

                      OS X runs just fine on the systems it is recommended for. As long as you put in enough memory it shouldn't be a problem.

                      • So are you saying that we should pay even more money to be able to use our Macs in a stable, decent way? What happened to your much-vaunted "Low TOC because they last forever" argument, lovingly brushed under the carpet eh?

                        Anyway, There's no OSX-native version of the only Mac killer App, Quark XPress. No wonder so many newspapers are switching to PC/Adobe Indesign...

                          • why do mac users have such an inferiority/superiority complex that they must call attention to themselves and talk about how great macs are. PC users for the most part dont care.
