Reply to Apple sucks iBalls! in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

I will admit, that in that 10.4 is an improvment, over 10.3. But The killer app I wanted was Dashboard, and it turned out to be useless. Plus the removal of iPhoto, pissed me off. My entire point is that for what I use my mac for I could have kept 10.2 and it would have been exactly the same. I wrote this while pissed so it is not entirely free of mallace. But more or less I stand by it. Tiger is a nice upgrade for mac people. Is it a reson to switch to Mac. No. Not if 10.3 was not, or 10.2. Ill

Apple sucks iBalls! in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

Today was a great day of disappointments for me on the computer front. After much pondering, for reasons I will explain, I decided to take a trip to the Apple store and Upgrade my Mac to OS-10.4 "Tiger". I have had a Mac for 3 years now. I spent $3000 on it, and have used it probably a grand total of maybe 80 hours. This is my own fault. There is nothing really wrong with

Icon 86 (RAM Drive) Today's icon is pretty obscure. Not many of us use RAM Drives these days, but it is supported in the default icons in an Icon Package. This one is always kind of odd, but I tend to use a Memory Chip. Today we will do the same. The techniques for doing today's

Icon 85 (SD Card) Moving on through the Drive icons, these days I find myself using SD Cards as my primary form of flash memory. Since I use it the most I want to get it out of the way right away. The steps for this are almost identical to yesterdays icon. The only real

Icon 84 (CompactFlash) I want to do several more drive icons. We still have a few of the defaults left, but just for fun I think I will do the Compact Flash drive icon. This one is nice because it is pretty common, so it should be useful to a lot of people. </FONT

Upgraded to 10.2 tonight. Big waste of 129 bucks. This entire upgrade can be sumed up as "pritty but useless" Not only that they took all the i Apps out of the OS, except iTunes, so if you do a fresh install you lose them all. And have to buy iLife if you want iPhoto or iMovie. for an adtional $79 bucks....

Icon 83 (3.5" Floppy) Now for a bit more useful drive icon, though not for long I suppose. I realized as I was doing this that I do not even own a 3.5" floppy drive on any of my 4 working computers. It seems that this drive format as well is not long for the world. Until then I s
