... just write "gen." already (acronym for generation).
Sorry about playing grammar police, but this one was just too egregious for me. "gen." is an abbreviation, not an acronym. Laser is an acronym: Laser=L.A.S.E.R.=Light Amplified by Stimulating Emissions of Radiation.
I don't mind spending $80 on a paper clip which can hold and play 240 mp3's!
Also, I can totally see girls using it as a hair clip - mp3 player! :D
I am sure someone can photoshop an image for all of us.
How about this one? :D

Defender is from Midway Games and they're under Liquidation now:

Maybe Atari should buy their games?

Yeah I know Apple's policy on low pricing to sell hardware and I think it's brilliant. I don't know why they drop the software after a while though, discontinuing Shake didn't make any sense.
I'm going to speculate about what happened. When Jobs brought Pixar to Disney and joined their board of directors, he was thinking that would be a good fit for the Macpro line of computers and software. It probably bothered him that Pixar (and Disney) were not using Apple computers and software to crunch all of those pixels. I'm pretty sure he saw that as an opportunity to get Apple further into that market.
Then along comes the success of iPhone and consumer level products that began to consume most of Apple resources. It was a fairly fresh market with much potential for massive profits. Shortly after that, Apple Computer changed it's name to just "Apple" and then diverted most of it's attention towards the market that we see today. Apple sold off any professional applications that they deemed to niche or required extensive resources to develop. I'm sure they hung onto FCS simply because there was some profit, and to feed Steve's ego. However, they haven't been that motivated to keep it on the forefront because they didn't have the resources, nor the motivation.
I'm pretty sure that if you were to ask most of the people on the board of directors at Apple if they should keep the professional line, I'm sure that most of them would say no. The money is not in that sector compared to consumer devices and content delivery. As each day goes by, the Mac professional line of computers and software are becoming more and more a niche product and I think that Apple will eventually discontinue them and become solely a consumer product company. They will make devices for the everyday consumer and sell/rent/commission content to deliver to those devices. It's a multi-billion dollar industry that is only going to get bigger. The professional line is not close to being as profitable and it takes a lot of resources to stay current. My guess is that it will be phased out over the next 5 years. How? By slowing down the updates until the pros migrate to other systems. Eventually, Apple will declare the market dead and stop production. By then, no one will care. But don't worry, you'll have a really cool iPhone and still be able to buy an iMac. :rolleyes:

Sounds awesome, but I'll still stick with Camino until Safari speeds up a bit and is more stable. Those were my only two issues.

Sorry for the rant, but I felt like I needed to vent to fellow designers. Anyone else have any horror stories?:)
Some people will walk all over you if you let them. Send an email "on the previous job I was paid for 3 hours but my total time spent was actually xxx hours. I can't afford jobs like that, so if you want another job done, you'll have to agree that time spent on phone calls will be billed as well. " And buy a stopwatch.
Your job is not to produce graphics designs. Your job is to produce billable hours.
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I do have a pretty good archiving system. I have a folder untitled "freelance" and therein is a folder named after each client and then each project. The guy kind of threw me with the sudden weekend call. You're right about the phone time too. No more mister nice guy; there's no reason to cheat myself for billable meeting time when I'm already lowballing myself.:)
Add: "Weekend work, including phone calls is charged at double rate. Sunday work at triple rate. ".

I just wanted to give people a headsup that WalMart.com is selling the Black Wireless controllers for $24.96. So if you have been needing a new controller now is a great time to pick one up.

Well, I really would like to install more RAM into my trusty LC�
But I can't figure out what is the maximum� Apple says 36 MB� Most other sites say that� But MacTracker says 132 MB is the max, and when I look for the max RAM for the Quadra 605�
It says 132�
But they have the same Logic Board!
So, what is the true maximum?

I know in 10.4 you can enable the machine as an xgrid client. Can you run the server portion in 10.4 or do you have to have the 10.4 server?

Are you frickin kidding? Sharia law IS stupid extremist ideology. That's the only way to describe it. Maybe you should read some more.
OK, I read some more. Some parts of Shari'a (mostly the fard) are a bit goofy or non-sensical, but for the most part, I am failing to see "stupid extremism". One must consider the fact that the concept itself is broad and moderated by sectarian differences: to say Shari'a is "this" or is "that" may fail depending on which interpretation is used, even who is interpreting it. Ultimately, the problems with Shari'a rest not with the code itself as much as with the people in charge of interpreting it. In the west, even secular code gets interpreted badly sometimes (or often), allow frothing nutbags to be in charge, expect to be outraged.
