Apple Dumps IBM/ Does Apple Have A Secret Plan?

[keith]

First of all this has nothing to do in these groups.


But to stay in tune with you, we dont need to find uncensored ways to
speak here.

Oh, and I forgot, messing with headers is worse than not using deoderant.

In a contingent reality, Benoit Leraillez possibly said:

Well there are people who are stuck with apps that have never been
upgraded to OS X. So they have to run Classic. And these same persons
also need to upgrade their machines because speed is after all something
not that bad for the rest of their apps.

Wow, reading comprehension isn't one of your strong suits, now is it?
Here, lemme make it real easy for you:

IF YOU NEED TO RUN CLASSIC APPS YOUR CURRENT
MACHINE WILL RUN IT AS FAST AS IS POSSIBLE

A newer machine will NOT help much, if at all. This is like complaining
that your accounting software is DOS 3.3 and you're pissed that Windows XP
won't run the stuff. Why are you wasting money buying 3.6 gig Xeon
machines instead of investing a few hundred bucks on Quicken or something?
The whole argument is asinine.

Please look a bit farther than your nose when you think before you
talk/write ;-)

Ummm, okay. How about you actually form a coherent retort before you spout
off stupid bullshit?

No wonder you are concerned about deodorant: you mix up headers and
footers. Now get that mascara off your toes! And put those socks over
your feet and not over your ears!

Classic wont run on Os X running on Intel. Learn to read something
else than all caps text.

Frogs smell! ...get it?

I'm dumbfounded that anyone could be this ****ing dense.

 

[George Macdonald]

Perhaps not, but it was *FUNNY*. Speech in these groups isn' tightly
controlled by a NG-Dictator. ...and I got a lot of play from this one
today, and may copy it to a few other groups I hang out on. ;-) Do you
have a problem with humor? Yes, it was directed a bit too much, but it
*was* funny, given the circumstances.

Hmm, I thought it was kinda.... err, ultra cheap, gratuitous, tacky and
irrelevant. It is also false by modern standards - I'd call it
misdirected. If it came form a Brit it'd be quite ironic. The French
caught the American habit of jumping in the shower three times a day around
the same time, or maybe even slightly ahead of the Brits... and they do
have better showers than the Brits, who have traditionally built houses and
even some hotels, without pressurized hot water systems.

His choice of a news server is rather expensive (and the tag is
obnoxious), but is that any business of yours? Many people speak through
pseudonyms here, so?

When people post vitriol from behind a pseudonym, it always reminds of the
school coward, yelling abuse from a safe distance/point. OTOH if this guy
regularly posts as George Kerby in the mac.misc group it's not really
anonymous I suppose.

Actually, no they don't - that old cliche is way out of date... and lost
relevance 20years ago or more.

Thanks George! How goes those new salads?

Actually, the olfactory nerve (V1) in amphibia is quite developed.

My pressurized power shower works just fine thanks. And we have
electricity too ;-)

Hey genius! I'm over halfway to triple digits and have extensive
experience in the computer industry. I'm well aware of the problems
keeping old apps going, but you still can't expect some piece of
software written years ago to work with today's operating systems and
hardware.

You can if you run Solaris

 

[Nate Edel]

You can if you run Solaris

You can do so pretty well on Windows... the majority of DOS and Windows 3.1
software will still run on Windows XP, and that which won't will generally
run under readily available emulation.

For that matter, with the quality and quantity of emulators available today,
you can run just about anything on a modern PC: other 1980s 16/32-bit PC
architectures (68K Mac, Amiga, Atari ST, etc) no problem. IBM Mainframe? No
problem. Vax, no problem.

Thanks George! How goes those new salads?

Huh?... new salads? I like good ol' traditional salads: a vinaigrette with
just a touch of chopped shallot, mmmmm, the best.... try it.

 

[George Macdonald]

Err, a pressurized hot water system is not the same thing as one of those
Rube-type (Heath-type ?) in-line water heater jobs. The only thing that
aggravates me more than having to jump out of the scalding water when
somebody flushes is those ****in' British hotels that only give you hot
water on *their* schedule for 4-5hours a day. Sorry, but British plumbing
stinks.

Just make sure you get the aluminum-free stuff!

Right....
What? Huh?!? What are we talking about?
I forgot already...

Or are serios about computing and run zOS. ;-)
