Apple Dual Booting, "Boot Camp" made by Apple. Options

[impala454]

here's a concept: those mice, that plug into the computer (or in most macs cases, the keyboard) you can UN-plug those.


Now all you need is a hand-dandy USB 2-button (or 12-button, nobody cares, knock yourself out) mouse.


Even the old PS/2 Macs supported 2-button mice. Apple just shipped them with one button as per their own philosophy.

the mouse that the computer came with was a 1 button mouse. in other words, apple's base mouse was a 1 button mouse. the thing was clear and essentially the entire mouse was the button. that is gay.

apple ships their pc's with 1-button mice, but you can use 2-button mice. whats your point?

hartman called my buddy an idiot for saying apples come w/a 1 button mouse. apparently they do. guess he's not an idiot after all.

Nowhere in my post did I say he was an idiot for thinking that Apple shipped with a single button mouse. I simply pointed out that he needed to do a little reading to understand that you can use a two button mouse, or use the mighty mouse... but twist it any way you want, I don't really care anymore.

[zetec]

1) he called him a moron
2) no, he's still a moron, we get what he was trying to say.


Your "buddy" (i'm having difficulty believing you have the ability to maintain any sort of social relationship with anything or anyone. even if it were possible, they're friends with you which should speak to their own intelligence as well) is just as dumb as you.

i guess you dont see the irony in apple's shitty state nowadays, hence you dont understand the joke (or just now are getting it).

apple has been one of the biggest opponents of intel/microsoft for what, 20-25 years? and now they have intel based macs that run windows.

apple has 5, maybe 10 years left in the computer business. this use of intel/microsoft is a last ditch effort to save themselves.

[Hartmann]

Apple was knocked away from Intel by Microsoft... They specifically did not want to be categorized with anything that had to do with them.

And you think Microsoft will be around? Doubtful.

their shitty state?


maybe you haven't noticed, apple's fucking raking it in. Whether you like them or not, they're making some serious cash. And what's wrong with selling macs that run windows with intel processors? if anything, they're conforming to what has been established as a more standard, more reliable, more programmable architecture. They're allowing people to use their machines for windows as well. It's not like you can get a mac without paying for OSX already on it. What do they care if you run windows off of it? you've already bought it and you've already paid for the OS as well. If anything, this will attract MORE customers. I already stated that my next machine will be an apple, even if I don't use OSX on it. They still get their money, and microsoft still gets theirs (assuming i'm using a legit copy of windows).


Funny thing, people were predicting that apple had 5 years left back in 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01... when did the ipod come out?

yeah most companies that net 12 billion a year go down in flames in 5-10 years.

and zetec, i said apple has 5, maybe 10 years left in the computer business.

funny, someone who didn't even realize that apple made a two-button mouse is predicting the course of their business over the next 5-10 years. That's got some credibility to it.

hardly ever to statements like this make me laugh, but Zetec has a point.


not agreeing or disagreeing about the future of Apple. I just think its funny that Impala comments on something he SEEMS to know little about.
