BASIC was open source. There was no graphics support. I coded the graphics support for BASIC so I could create an interactive book that worked just like you'd read a book on a Kindle nowadays. It was on Marine Biolgy. I also coded music to make singing Christmas Cards that astounded people. MIDI was already there, just no BASIC support, so I coded it. I won all sorts of accolades, and got four periods a day in middle school and high school to do genius stuff. So I did. I smoked lots of dope, drank tons of beer, and played Galaga at Sheetz while I was supposed to be doing brilliant things. It was awesome. |

I know waiting is dumb as technology is dated shortly after you purchase anyway but 3.0 USB to me would make a huge difference. I thought it was supposed to come out around now? |

You would get much better performance from an SSD over a HDD. HDD's are the current weak link in computer hardware. SSD's while still new and expensive are very fast. I'm picking one up right after Christmas. Hopefully the Intel's will get a price drop, or I'll get a gift card.
In looking at your build, it looks like you are spending $2500+. Wow! I knew Macs were expensive, but I honestly had no idea they were that expensive. |

I just built up an overclocked i7 photo-processing rig, and there is no better component to look for a performance gain. I'm considering going dual 80GB for my rig. Dual OS boot with a switch on the case and enough space on each drive for programs. That said, 95% of users probably wouldn't notice the difference. |

Jobs sold the Apple to a shop, then he and Woz and a few other dudes cranked out 50 machines to fill their first order. |
