what is that old laptop

[macmostvideo]

The one at the bottom right of the frame? That's a PowerBook G3.

How do I get the new snow leopard Build 10A394?

[macmostvideo]

Snow Leopard is only available to Apple developers -- those who are paying members of the Apple developer program.

[Aegrim]

you're a salesman right? you're getting paid for this, otherwise :S

[macmostvideo]

Not sure what you are implying, but I certainly don't work for Apple, if that is what you mean.

Biggest thing I noticed in SL was the space that was freed up. Good to see the changes to the dock menu for downloads and documents, too.

Quicktime is probably the worst media player I've been forced to keep on my harddisk. Doesn't at all work with ANY codecs from anywhere.

See that monitor in the background with the three legs? I have that, only the legs would not sit right on my desk so I had to flip it, then invert the screen.

every thing you predicted is in snow leopard.

Mac sucks. Windows sucks.

Linux rocks!

[pcfxer]

Agreed! Even with their decreased quality, they are better than Dell, HP, etc.

[hkseo100]

Lenovo sucks at making their PCB and Capacitors in their IdeaPads, Thinkpads are still really good.

i have a g5 power mac, bargain from ebay, doubt i will ever find one so cheap again! I love it, but is is being sold again, as i already have an iMac g4, power mac g3 and a macbook pro! Too many lol How come you called your cat nipples! :)

[RedSecodaMusicMYS]

My cat is called Nipples. Not the first and am sure not the last.

OSX 7 Nipples "Milking you for every penny you own" Just an Idea.

Nah, I love OSX But will be a awhile till I can upgrade to a decent spec Intel G5 anyway. You would think that apple can afford to bring the rrp down on these suckers now.

[pcfxer]

Sweet I'm elite! ...or 1337? Anyway, I'm a programmer and my interest is Networking and kernel hacking and I love the mechanics of OSX and FreeBSD.

I also possess an electrical engineering degree and would say Asus, Lenovo and Apple all have high quality PCB, components and build quality, though, Lenovo is dropping in quality for lower-end stuff.
