Fun things to do with a Mac Pro

That's why god invented pet insurance.
Of course, it would be better to not have to go to the vet in the first place.

hey... its a yorkie! he totally could have cut two popsicle sticks in half and made four tiny splints with medical tape! 😉 LOL
Get well soon "Tiny" LOL

 

[Ack]

load windows vista 64 on one of the other three harddrives you are jonesing to put in, load up a kickin windows game and go to town.

How did you know I was jonesing to put in more hard drives? OMG! It's like you're INSIDE MY HEAD!

Point Proven

I have yet to see an argument in which playing the age card is an intelligent idea.

AutoCAD (prior to that, Rhinoceros and Blender), Xcode, KICAD, CS4 (maybe 5 later), and Logic Studio, simply because I like to write music.

Happy? I'll also have a fairly large media library and I want to be able to have an internal disk backup for all of my files as opposed to a Drobo or something of that nature.

I'm not some kid looking for the cheap thrills of having the fastest workstation on the planet just to brag to my friends and play Crysis for the pretty.

I'm a computer engineering major with a concetration on hardware systems design.

My point is proven as you ignored the primary reason for my post:

You frequently post on nearly every thread that you read with quick off the cuff remarks that are rude, or condescending that are not needed and do not contribute to the generally positive environment that is MacRumors. You do not have to comment on every thread you read. A lot can be said and learned by the silent observer.

At times you do make positive contributions to the discussions, but those often come in the form of quick/short replies that require frequent follow-up by yourself of someone else who elaborates on your behalf (requested or not). Perhaps if more time was spent thinking about, and properly explaining your statements it would require less follow-up on your part.

Am I happy that you defined why and how you will use YOUR Mac Pro? I could care less. What you do with your money/computer is your decision. We all have our vices.

Lastly, I did not imply that you being young meant you were an immature kid, rather, that I recall being that age and making comments (all be it in person and not on a message board) similar to yours that were not looked highly upon. That is not to say that if you know something about a topic you shouldn't contribute, but rather contribute in a positive manner. (To repeat: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.) You may very well be extremely mature, an expert on all things Mac, and be able to use the software you previously mentioned with skills of others two or three times your age. However that is no excuse to be rude, judgmental, condescending, or otherwise derogatory towards others.

Best of luck to you in obtaining your degree. It is refreshing to see a young person who has such ambitions and goals.

If I have the answer to the question, I'll post it, though...

I have recently become aware that I'm doing this a lot more often than I used to, and I assure the community that I will do everything I can to consciously stop. 😱

My quick-fire posting is at an end; I need to focus more on this degree of mine, anyway, even if Apple is where I want to eventually end up.

My apologies to those who may have taken offense at my past posting. The era of Caustic Skil is over, I assure you. 😀

Er... Trenchant Skil? Whichever. I'm done with that. 🙂

dont even bother listening to him, you can do what you want with your time and respond to things however you want. lots of people reply in the manor you do, most of them are useless. i find yours to at least hone down on the issue and give me some insight into the problem.

do what you want.

How about we all get along and help one another, instead of flaming one another, busting chops is cool but lets not forget the purpose and reason for the posts

I second this, buy 10+ mac pros at the same time and ask for a deal. 😛
