Mercedes
cost, schmost. Why expect the Mercedes of the computer market compete in price with the Yugo's and Daiwoo's? The idea is to provide an alternative. Evolution is about environmental wedgies, those who survive continue. Those who just wear tighter underwear get lower spermcounts and die out.

I think recent years' crops of Apple hardware have been damn cool but I'm not particularly attached to the hardware. I would run OS X on a loaf of pumpernickel if I could and it were cheaper. I'm not quite sure how Apple could make it pay, though.
Who says Omni Group is porting it?
I heard from the deep source in the pit that Omni Group's plan is to get people to love their port's and then MAKE THEM USE A PC FOR THE PC VERSION OF OS X!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I'm not a coder. I'm an artist. I could provide a dumbass proof concept with good flow designed for Joe User but don't expect me to code or compile it. I like the Idea of a mass-processing, logged-user concept that shares the power of all available machines to crunch Data in disgusting quantities. How about Napster-like file sharing for searching and high bandwidth user rings for serious packeted parallel processing.
If the Idea isn't sound it should be good for a laugh. Cider OS could be a Killer OS for the Web Appliance Market . It's not a whole OS but rather an alternate face to the standard Aqua.

Don't forget to vacuum out yer Mac every QP or so after all that Ganja. Smoke Dust kills HD's and internal components pretty good. If you haven't yet: just think about how much like the inside of a post-dorm Bong it'll look. Ick.

Eek. I was actually listening to that very Hendrix piece when I checked back and refreshed the page. Yer Imac smokes just as much as the average non-california waitress- twice as much as you. Though it may not have a fan to pull it through it still gathers dust. Lucky Guess: very few folks will speak of such things after college openly.
Caution: Extended use of Itunes visuals with max RAM allocated while Baqued may result in Vertigo and/or Ben and Jerry's fixation.
The Sturgeon General recomends the Exclusive use of Glass whenever possible to avoid Aluminum Oxide inhalation.

You could build in a Substance and desease index from the CDC to allow private consultation in just how suicidal some common mixes of prescription, elicit, and legal substances actually are. For the portable version you could have GPS and Cellular built into the hardware so if you wander aimlessly at three in the morning it'll call a cab. Add a new button to the desktop then: Brain Alteration Guide.

they won't because XP is ugly and made for the computer-retarded, it's so simplified that it's pathetic, you can't do anything to it (icons and such)
trust me, XP will make the pcs explode into a million pieces and die and everyone will be forced to use macs.

Windows Virus
Windows not a Virus
Viruses destroy your hard drive. . . wait, Windows does that.
Viruses eat up all your system resources. . . Windows does that, too.
Viruses destroy your valuable data. . . DAMN! Windows does that, too!
Maybe it is a virus. . . Oh! Wait! Viruses are small and efficient, viruses are written by talented people, and viruses eventually get more
advanced.
I guess that is proof that Windows is not a virus.
I got this somewhere...

no, semi-seriously
Both BSD, Both using a similar enough title that you'd expect one or the other to get uptight about it. Both scheduled to hit the mass market in the same 6-month window. Both moving away from Icons on the desktop. Apple still hasn't said ANYTHING about the anti-trust case, even though they'd be the lynchpin. I'm sure that Aqua and XP are different but I want to know about the rest.

Apple is still in the lawsuit
Apple has it's name in the lawsuit. Of coase the case will now be destroyed, one reason. Bush, he will tell the Supreme Court to thrugh away that case and Mircosoft will continue to gobble up companies. IS YOUR BUISNESS NEXT???

Okay people
Why are we talking about PC hardware?? We are all mac fans and PC hardware SHOULDn't ever enter our house. Why? Why? I have an old 486 BUT ONLY FOR MY electrical engineering stuff. Anyway I dont like windows and I dont think we should be putting OS X on pc machines.
That's like asking bill gates to live in a cardboard box.

because pc hardware is a valuable compare and contrast for mac users, especially if you read the rest of this discussion.
Re: A new OS
Look out! QNX Real Time OS graphic interface is named "Neutrino": somebody already used that name.
Without the brandname Micro$ozz nobody in the wintel world will be ever buying it.
Don't dream, Kela.
Ciao!

the topic is like a bit old Walla.
Also, you sound like a freakin gothic church that told pioneers like galelio, "dont dream" But we now know how right he was. You are the kind of person who would have sided the flat world advocates.THINK DIFFERENT or succumb to the power of Microsoot.

Nice to hae ya back spikey. Wonder how come I didnt get banned. How did you get on again? Let me guess, you are a honorary member of board?? In the mean time you were gone, many othre discussions have sparked up serious attitudes. Funnily enough I refrained from indulging.
