Thanks for this contribution. I often find much of this sort of thing of no use whatever in my situation but there also some gems. In this instance, it was a...
A search at http://www.google.com/mac didn't yeild much, except a couple of reviews from late last year, and their site. http://www.macskinz.com/ At their...
SMUG, the Stanford/Palo Alto Mac User Group, has announced its program for April 5, 2004. SMUG meetings are held beginning at 6:30PM at SLAC's Panofsky...
Hello everyone, Now, I have a rhetorical question. A couple of weeks back, Apple was taken to task over the advertisements that made claims of fastest ...
Hi All, Advertising. It is pretty funny isn't it? I have the same problem understanding the "rules" that you've been having :) As it was explained to me, you...
Hello all, There's quite a bit of hoopla going around today about a `new trojan discovered in OS X'. There isn't a security hole that's being exploited in OS...
Hello SVMUG and A32 members, a few of my friends, and all the ships at sea, This month "MacAddict" magazine has published an article "Crime Buster." The...
Hello, I work at an elementary school and just purchased 2 emacs running MAC OS 10.3.3. I set it up with ethernet and appletalk to connect to our server...
Apple released a new eMac today. Of interest, the following features are new: 333Mhz system bus (up from the old 167Mhz) 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 USB 2.0 Built in...
... Except that a comparable PC is $300 less. I wish Apple would get serious about increasing market share and provide very low margin entry level machines....
... Market share means absolutely nothing to me, as long as Apple continues to make money (and they do). The only PC manufacturer out there making money...
... I could be wrong, but I suspect if you look at the relative margins (Apple and Dell's shareholder reports might provide the info), you will find that the...
Last time I took an actual look at Dell's site, and compared spec to spec, in some cases the Mac was less expensive. Whose hardware are you comparing here?...
... Sure, I went to Dell, clicked on home&office and then selected the entry-level machine: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/ ...
Here's some actual data, though it too is somewhat misleading. Apple's gross profit margin is about 27%. Dell's is about 9%. BUT Microsoft's is 80%. So when...
... I think it would be more accurate to find Apple's margin on hardware alone. I think I remember hearing that they offered that sort of breakdown in their...
... I've noticed that Apple's high end hw (such as XServe) seems to be much more competitively priced than their low-end hw. But it makes no sense to me why...
... I've given up trying to argue with people over sticker price. If people think that buying a computer is about getting a great deal on a bunch of letters...
... I don't think that'll ever happen, but if it did I'd still buy a Mac. Doesn't matter how pretty you dress up a PC or how many neon running boards, racing...
I like my eMac. I've had it for just over a year. It has the superdrive and I've been able to make a couple dvd's (I need a nice big firewire exterior hard...
