    Anand, maybe you should endorse the Seti@Home team by putting the mac to work! Could use all the help we get...

    Anand - good luck. Let us know how it goes. I am still a hard-core gamer, and still have the gaming box, but most of my other machines are now Macs.

    It takes time to overclock so many cards and figure out differences between each manufacturer. They are not gods so obviously it was going to take sometime. Yes, I do agree that the estimated date he posted was way off but we need to cut them some slack.

    I have been noticing this on many famous sites. People expect the best reviews from these sites but when they miss like a date or something; they get flamed. Isn't the effort worth anything.

    BTW, I am only talking to the 1% population of this site. Many of us can wait for some good content.

    The paragraph following that entry talks about Derek's Video Card Roundup that they hoped to posted by the end of that week (friday would have been 1/23) and ended up being posted on 2/4 - if that helps with guesstimates.

    From Friday, Jan 16th entry:
    I've received a lot of emails and comments asking about the status of the Raptor review I was working on a while ago, so I figured I'd provide a bit of an update. BAPCo has released SYSMark 2004, which is looking like it will be a much more valid benchmark than its predecessor. Unfortunately, just like SYSMark 2002, the benchmark takes about an hour to run on the fastest hardware and about the same amount of time to install. I put off the review in order to include results from the latest benchmark, but I'm hoping that the end result will be a much more thorough analysis of desktop hard drive performance.

    #10, he already said that he will be delaying the article because it takes too long to benchmark and he doensn't have time right now.


    Can't you read...

    Why I love Apple's new iLife
    http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/AnchorDesk/4520-7298_...



    Mr.Coursey understood what Apple's OS X could do for him in his particular life of daily tasks and is a better user for it. I like his approach to the issue of computing and the phrase he's come up with as a result "Be an adder not a Switcher". He emphasizes and understands the user needs the right tool for the right job. Each OS has specific capabilities and does them well but no one OS can do it all.

    The iLife suite is an introduction for the average user to the world of content creation and is not the be all and end all of apps for the category. Although a more advance user could do some curious and cool things with them.
