New Apple G4's Powerbooks

Comprox

If you take a look at <a href='http://www.apple.com' target='_blank'>http://www.apple.com</a> , you can see information on their new powerbooks, one even comes in the 17inch display <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Auto sensing glowing keyboards for typing in the dark and lots of other fun stuff.. now if I only had the cash!

Only thing I ever really liked Macs for are 2 things:

1) Dino Tycoon
2) Number Cruncher

Which brings me to something else, back when I was in elementary school I managed to get THE highest score in Number Cruncher (or was it Muncher?)...then what happens? <b>My teacher TURNS OFF THE POWER SWITCH</b>. I am STILL **** about that to this day.

Macs - Spend 2/3rds of your time looking for software to replace the tools you used in Windows. Then mess up your work because of the uber **** 1 button round mouse (who the HOLY HELL thought up a 1 button round mouse???).

Linux - I still have shreds resembling a life. I take showers daily. I still have a chance with the opposite sex (hah!). And I have Slashdot in my Favorites, NOT as my startpage. That means I am not qualified as a geek...

Windows - Does what I need it to do, runs the games I want it to, XP dosent crash much (if ever). No one will hack my system, why? If they can hack at all, they won't be enough of a moron to think my computer has anything of significant importance or value on it. Unless they are really desperate for a copy of NS...in which case its no problem <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Sorry to go into a rant here....but in a perfect world, we would have Mac style computers with Windows style ease of use blended with Linux security and complexity and wraped up with universal compatibility with all OS's.

Which brings me to my next point, which is completely off topic, my 3 goals in life:

1) Take over the world (yes, im serious <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )
2) Design a OS thats compatible with Windows apps, and as secure/stable as linux.
3) Marry a redheaded girl computer geek who likes to spend her time programming and gaming.

Ok, its 3:30am...im done.

ROTFLMAO!!! It was Number Muncher BTW, and I doubt that your high score could have compared to mine, unless you know what 35 x 23 is by the time you finish reading this sentence. I loved math in elementary school <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> and I hated those damn Troggles.

Another game I'm really good at is Galaga. I got the chance to play over the new year's holiday and scored something like 190000, but I didn't even get a high score <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> The trick to Galaga is to get the double ship before the first challenging stage, and then pwn the bugs through the first map cycle. (stage 15 i think?)

I'm quite happy with my laptop. I have used macs up until I started school, and my school required the purchase of a PC Laptop. I was kind of nervous, but the XP OS is very stable, and it has NEVER crashed on me when I wasn't playing games (the OS hasn't). But my problem with the 17 inch screen, did you see all of the empty space on that thing? I'll stick with a 15 inch monitor, thanks.

As for Macs being inferior, I'm not going to get into the debate, but if I had stayed with my mac I would have never played NS (and would be with the UT2k3 crowd begging for a port.) Cheers for the mac community for ripping off PowerPoint, though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> I guess we're paying windows back for copying us.

Sounds very suave Trekkish, Comprox. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those (the keyboards), if I could afford them. But then I'd have to toss away my grimy keyboard and that just wouldn't do.. I'm at an impasse!

P.S. Apple always reminds me of Sleeplessknights, or was that vice versa? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
