  • You have to be joking! iCal is so easy to use. This is more work than just doing it in iCal!!

  • Another thing people forget is the difference in price between iWork and Office. Both do more or less the same thing but Office is 4 or 5 times more expensive.

    Apple Pricing? Quit your Bitching!
  • In spite of the data plan rip-off, Canadians, like fools, went ahead and bought the iPhones anyway. A simple boycott of the product would have made a huge difference. The other mobile phone users are all whining about a $0.15 charge for received messages. They say that they will now have to pay for spam. The phone company says to phone them if you receive spam and they will not charge the 15 cents. Hmmmm.. let's see... How much will that cost? The phone call (25 cents ) and the manpower needed to handle the extra calls, plus the extra bandwidth needed for the extra calls..... I will not use my Cell Phone anymore until the mobile people fall into line with the rest of the world. Actually not being so available is relaxing.

    Apple, Tell the Telcos to Play Nice
  • I have several of the "Take Control" books and I refuse to share them with people because they are reasonably priced. If I see someone who needs some of the information, I tell them where to get the book and what it cost. I sometimes print the books on my double sided laser printer and put them in a binder. This allows me browsing in the book without having the computer in front of me, or for reference when I am working on something.

    DRM Free O'Reilly Titles? An Author's Perspective
  • Make the pad detachable but please add the bar! I spend about 1/3 of my time on my MBP and 2/3s on my iMac. I find that I am frequently going for the trackpad when I am working on the iMac. You will still be able to use a mouse without deactivating the trackpad just as if you were on a notebook.
  • Reason #10 justifies all! To be productive and creative you need peace of mind. The iPhone provides this. Buy and be happy. Bob
  • Every time I make a purchase a my local java shop they ask me if I have a customer number. I say "No" and then I pay for my java and go. This has been going on for three years. I wonder if it will ever occur to them to ask if I want a customer card?

    Welcome to the new Apple Matters
  • My 2 yr old MBP has problems the odd time with waking from sleep. I find that you must make sure the "sleep" light is pulsing before moving it. My iMac (Oct '07) has never had a sleep problem, however if you are using Front Row and have the iMac set to shut down automatically, it won't. Happy studying Chris. Cheers: Bob

    Leopard: Not Quite Right
  • Why do we need a two button mouse? I can both right-click and left-click with my mighty mouse. WetcoastBob

    My Favorite Apple Rumor
  • Let us rename the iMac; MacPanel and MacPanel Pro. The upcomming Quad Tower could be called MacBrick or MacBlock or MacMegaBrick or MacBlockBuster..... you get the idea. Cheers: Bob
