Are you or your friend sound engineers?

My families business still has an Mac 128k in the office that is still used! My G4 tower shipped with OS 9.

It was released in 1999. It's utterly obsolete.

OS 9? tell him to stop wasting his time and move on!

No worries. Logic is a bit of a strange one because of all the content it installs and makes available to all other pro-apps. Nearly every other mac app can be uninstalled in the copy to trash manner. Most apps (that is, if they created a plist) will leave behind their preferences in the...

Logic is a pro-app so it actually installs other stuff in other places. Removing the main logic app will leave a fair amount of stuff still on the machine including the apple loops which will account for most of the disc space logic takes up. This document here details what you need to remove...

Steve Jobs is way cooler than Bill Gates, so there. Nerrr. Nerrr. :p (no returns).

Don't worry. It's a slippery slope. Soon he'll be using AOL too..... :p

Sure. Probably shiny too. ;)

Oooh..cryptic. "A landmark event in more ways than one" With a picture of the golden gate bridge underneath. Place your bets now!

I had a sony dvd player. It broke. I replaced it with another sony dvd player. It broke. I replaced the replacement with another sony dvd player. It also broke. Conversely, the cheap £20 no-brand dvd player that I won years back still works. My cousins sony dvd player also broke. I don't...

Anybody remember Arthur? I remember having parts of RiscOS3 about a year before it was released!

Nice, although I've got my eye on one of these as a dev machine.... http://www.apple.com/macpro/ 8 cores of goodness.

pr0n on the road?

Yeah. Sky one rules. :p Got 3 feeds from the LNB. Two for the sky+ and one for the multiroom.

lol. I doubt it. There were a lot of them about! I remember an original prototype of the ARM1 silicon in a bbc "tube" extension didn't sell for much on ebay when it surfaced a few years back - that is proper computing history. I believe it ended up in some computer museum.

I don't think you mean Thrust, thrust was a BBC game. I think you probably mean zarch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarch Zarch was a demo that was supplied by Acorn with the computer. Written by David Braben who wrote Elite. The Archimedes also has the best version of Elite ever.

Yep. I wrote a lot of software for these, I've still got a couple of machines stashed at my parents house. I still find it amazing that most mobile phones use Acorns processor design. Steve Furber and Sophie Wilson are gods.

I had an account with astraweb as well, I'd recommend them as well. I just find downloading NNTP headers very dull and wasteful, hence why I use easynews. No need for newzbin either because they have an uber-impressive search engine.

That'll be retention. (or possibly completion, the files might not have made it to your usenet server) Who did you sign up with? How old exactly are the files you're trying to download? You're usenet provider will state what their retention is. Easynews is 50 days. I wouldn't bother with...

Depending on security settings, doesn't this pop up a security warning about the active-x control in ie? Great code though! We're not digging the clock are we?!

Oh dear.... See above! ;)

My boss said "lets sign up", but the developer programme is not available outside the US yet - and it's only available to selected developers at the moment as well.

Serious platform kill. Farewell windows mobile, we knew you well... The application sales model is killer.

Is Leopard & Intel only. And confirmed. The "free sdk" cannot run apps on the phone, you need to pay the $99 to run on real hardware. Which confirms what I though I was reading on the Apple site in places. I think they need to clear up their site because their is confusing & conflicting...

Textmate trumps them all. Although, I'd rather chew my own arm off than use emacs.

arse. It's intel only.

emacs is the work of the devil. Well, rms, but same difference.

I'm downloading it now - all 2+ gigs of it. I might get a chance to have a play later. No interface builder in the new one, which is a bit of a shame because that is one of the real kick-ass things about the desktop development environment. I still think the $99 is a good deal for developers...

pah! 15 minute edit... Still not entirely clear! Although I'm now leaning more to the the everybody can compile+run on a real device. Different apple pages seem to be contradicting themselves! The keynote contradicts their own site.
