    jk about the part.
    HAVE A DAY.
    <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

          What the hell?

          Though Apple's phone-support staff is friendly and relatively knowledgeable, toll-free phone support is available for only the first 90 days after purchasing a Power Mac G5--unless, that is, you sign up for the $249, three-year AppleCare warranty.
          You pay an arm and a leg and you get ninety days of free support?

          Falcon Northwest and Alienware both received higher than 8.7, btw.

                  Monolith: What do you seriously think of the looks of it?

                  Also, on a random note, when will Apple join the 1990s and equip more than a single-button mouse with a $3000 computer?

                    Well, I haven't seen it in person, but I think it looks decent. Not as cool as I had hoped, but very respectable.

                    If I'm going to spend 3,000 bucks on a computer, I'm not going to quibble over a $20 mouse...

                      It's huge in person too, bigger than the case I just bought. I still think it looks like something from a 1950s movie on the "Home of the Future".

                      And isn't the point that if you spend $3,000 bucks on a computer it shouldn't come with a $2 mouse that was obsolete in 1990?

                        The point is that a mouse is so insignificant that its not worth arguing over.

                          I think the point is actually how much Apple emphasizes style over functionality.

                            well, if you want functionality, there's always the posix-standard cli.

                              I thought someone said its possible to use 2-button mouse in macs these days. What was all that about? And does anyone know why Apple stics with one button mouses anymore?
