But I like picking on Macs...

My friend bought an iMac, a purple one, and he is so frustrated cuz all the stuff he wants he can only find for pcs...

So I get to pick on him too.

I just want to know when they'll start putting lights in those things...just picture the amazing neon glow emitting from that shiny shell....*L*

A customer of ours was shocked the other day to find that he cannot configure his DSL modem/router because it uses a serial connection, and the iMac has no serial port. He's off in search of a USB->Serial connector....heheh...

He said he wants CorelDraw, but can't find the apple version in stores.

Other than that, I'll have to ask him...

Gah! Don't buy computer stuff in stores. That's what mail-order is for.

I just looked through a few catalogs (MacMall, MacZone, MacWarehouse, MacConnection) and they all have CorelDraw.

Well, there are red iMacs, but they certainly don't qualify as pink. That is, any more than a power button can eject a floppy disk.

My humblest apologies, I stand corrected. Martha Stewart does not own a 'pink' iWhack, she owns a STRAWBERRY iWhack. Yes, you heard right. they don't even come in COLORS--they come in FLAVORS!!!! *rolls eyes and mumbles something about what'd you'd expect from a company called 'Apple"*

Just like there are people stupid enough to think that a computer's power button will eject a floppy disk.

Yes, when it's perfectly obvious that the 'put away' command hidden in the FILE menu is used to eject a floppy disk. (not)

*will refrain from bopping the people making comments about eject buttons* if there is a button beside a slot into which one inserts a disk, it is only LOGICAL to assume that said button would eject the disk. granted, there was an 'on/off' sign on it, but THE DAMN THING WAS NEXT TO THE DISK DRIVE FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!

*SIGH* okay. i'm done. 'anger, fear, aggression, the dark side are they'. *chuckles*

The button isn't next to the floppy at all...it's at the bottom of the front, several inches down.

Frank: On the one I used, it was RIGHT next to it. Maybe it was just a *real* old model, but that's EXACTLY where it was.

There was only one case with the form-factor I mentioned, so that had to be it. I have one, actually.
