Wow, these Apple sites keep popping up. I'm starting to feel like there's no reason to have my own.

a very poorly designed broken linked outdated site with no locateable useful information.

Sorry to be so negative, but it needs work.


And yes I am a mac person.

here is why i think the mac is so great. i get home, and for shits & giggles, i turn my mac & my windows2000 machine at the same time. By the time windows was up, i had downloaded & opened 7 messages in my inbox, replied to one, and had safari open to the forums. pulled out my bills and waited for explorer to start.....

The speed a system boots has nothing to do with its usefulness. My Linux boxes take long times to boot, so I very rarely boot them. 63 days uptime isnt so bad.

true. my redHat box takes a bit to load. But it is nice to have a computer that starts up really fast. especially since i shut it down every night..

That could be a useful site, that is if it wasn't a bit outdated and if all the links worked.

I think all the info. is good, and he has been keeping it up to date, but for some reason or another a bunch of the links are broken!

I should write him an e-mail, cuz ultimately it's a good site, just needs better design is all.

Looks like the webmaster is on holiday in Switzerland (he posted a notice on his site), so I guess that when he comes back he'll update his links.

Maybe that they are freakin awsome!  :D

Hey Dr. V, aren't Mac's generally more popular in Japan than in the US? And, how close are they to M$ over there?

Just curious.

Well, they are still far behind M$, but they are pretty popular.  I don't have any statistics, but they are definitely alot more popular here than they are in the US.
