I'm sick of the regular spam from your forums -- I'll check in when I want updates, thanks, or I'd at least like to be able to opt out of them. And I'm sick of not getting an answer to my requests for an opt-out option to the routine mass mailings. I've made forum posts, I've e-mailed support directly, and now I just want out.
How do I delete my account? Please, please just tell me how to do it, and then I'll leave you all in peace.
The Mactopia newsletter is repeatedly marked as junk in my Hotmail account. Which might be a telling indication of what MS thinks of its own support for the Mac.
iMac G5 20", fresh out of the repair shop with a new power supply courtesy of Apple's extended warranty programme. The old one didn't like doing its job.
Also have a G3/500 iBook that's still plugging away. It served as my main comp while I was travelling and again while my iMac was being fixed, and I was continually surprised by how well it held up to my pretty intensive daily computing. I'll put off getting a MacBook until the iBook can't hack it, which might be a while. My desire for a new MB might win before that.
Using Tiger, and I will be for quite some time, unless Leopard can wow me more than it has so far (which is to say, it hasn't).
Interesting site. I'll have to give it a thorough look-over later, though I'll say from my cursory glance that more Mac-related book reviews would be nice.
I read the Gurnaiad pretty regularly, but I also like the Times Literary Supplement, which is less hard news and more reviews. Anyone who voted for The Sun should be ashamed -- unless, of course, you're reading it from a sociological standpoint to figure out why England is turning into a chavvy cesspool.
I'd really like to see some of these amazing high-end GPUs make it into the next retail-configurable gen of Macs -- at least the Pro line. Actually, it would be great to finally have a prosumer line of Macs like the iMac with upgradeable GPUs. I find that I could get another few years out of my machines with fresh GPUs... though they do comfortably last 6+ years already.
Why not just restart? It's necessary, or else they wouldn't advise you to do so, would they? And if you hate it that much, why not switch to an OS that only makes you reboot after system-level updates?
All I have to say to the thread title -- Are rivals leaving Microsoft behind? -- is, God, I hope so. Anyone that can't surpass this incompetent, lumbering, bureaucratic joke is in pretty poor shape indeed. What's worse is when competitors have to devote time, money and energy coding for the joke that is Windows because so many people are too dim or too lazy to explore alternatives.
Well, it's not entirely MS' fault, is it? It's a malicious advertiser that posed as a legitimate one. Sometimes you can't tell if someone's up to no good until they've already proven it. Note that I'm not an MS apologist by any means.
I switch between FF and Safari. I've used Opera, and it's okay, but I just don't feel it suits me. Don't know why. I use Safari for about 90% of my surfing, but I do like the add-ons with FF. And IE is just as vulnerable as FF -- the day a browser is 100% bulletproof will be a happy day for Web surfers everywhere.
