xpost I've had no problems with my iPod, amazingly! I imagined it'd like disintegrate as soon as I tried to use it but my battery has held up amazingly well.

I like OSX but it is orphaning older machines too quickly and Apple's build quality has slipped a great deal recently.

There is something of a cult following for the Color Classic. They are quite rare on the used market -- and some users have managed to hack in 68040 boards and even G3 upgrades into the smallest color Macintosh.
Shit! Why did I give this away? Why?

Perhaps that why he calls it 'bastard' and 'oh you motherfucker' so often?

Also this is secondhand information, but I would suggest that the Sony VAIO line is just as "overpriced" performancewise and just as likely to have some kind of stupid hardware failure in the first two years as any Macintosh product.

I wonder how long before Linux runs and is usable with WiFi on it. It'd be cool to netboot it and use it as an X terminal.
YO STEVE WHERE ARE MY SWITCHABLE WORKSPACES THAT I CAN ASSIGN DIFFERENT BACKGROUND GRAPHICS TOO AND NAME STUPID THINGS
There's actually an API for this in OS X that a ton of the free workspace switchers use. I saw one particularly good workspace switcher that added a folder named "Desktops" to your home directory, allowing each desktop to have items unique to it as well as the global "Desktop" items.

but back on topicI mean seriously though why do I have to go download an extra application to make all my files visible on OS X? On Solaris I just told it to stop hiding shit and boom, even .. becomes a clickable directory. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS STEVE

Most LCD monitor warranties require you to have a certain percentage of dead pixels before you can claim. It's usually about 5%, which is a hell of a lot given that one or two pixels in the centre of the screen can be damn offputting.

Thinking about it, I don't think it's a flat percentage figure - and there are separate limits for dead and miscoloured pixels.
The general point - that there have to be quite a lot of dead pixels before you can think about sending the monitor back - is true, though
(and 1600x1200 TFT monitors are still vv expensive, so might have different warranties - all the TFTs I've come across in the past year or so have been 1280x1024)
xpost: well, yes. But as i said, I'm too lazy to do, like, *research* myself.
(why do you think I've got a blog?)
