LOL.

I store my collection of keycaps in a MacBook box like that. I don't have any Apple products, but I snatch Apple boxes when I can - they are high quality. The laptop box stores vertically, has a handle, opens up like a briefcase.

Awful music in that ad. It sounds like some demo tune in some music-making program.

I forgot all about Barney...

Couldn't they have made an evil Barney? One that would make sarcastic remarks if you delete a whole paragraph or keep misspelling words.

We're constantly told to "use Microsoft colours" in our GUIs that we make at work, but so far exactly what constitutes a "Microsoft colour" has not been defined.

Have you any suggestions, O President?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Tried that (sort of, not exactly in those words).

Tried showing the old 16 colour palette - no go.

Tried showing a 256 colour palette - no go.

Tried showing HTML standard named colours - no go.

When I say "no go", I mean more like "no coherent response clearly identifying the exhibit as "Microsoft colours"".

Light reflected or refracted from various surfaces that absorb different wavelengths.

Something like that anyway.

The absolute BEST years of Apple using that logo.  All my PowerPC's still work even today, who would of thought that pc's made in Singapore would last this long?

My home server is a MacMini G4 and it runs flawlessly.

253 days uptime record for my home server baby, running TS3, VNC, FTP/SFTP/SMB server and print server. Gonna turn to DebianBox soon doe, more projects on their way!

Little Tin jewelbox computer is on a shelve, silent with its little shinny little light up front. Damn those designs were good.

Crapple MACINTRASH G4 products are some of the worst computers ever made. Anybody who owns one should promptly throw it in the garbage. They are slow, unreliable, and have poor software support. You'll be better off with Windows 95 on a Pentium than Mac OS X on a G4.
