In August 2005 I was thinking about purchasing Apple quotes: $43/45 was a good price for my wallett ;) . My Bank, instead, wants from me “things that I don’t have” (other moneys) to allow me to operate on the US market. Today is a good day but, if I had purchased some Apple quotes at that time, now I would be rich 😢 . The title? See at here for comparation between Apple and Dell on US market. ...

Mi ha anche detto che, se fosse stato in me, non avrebbe ordinato i nuovi MacBook Pro. Gli ho chiesto se ci saranno versioni MacBook dei vecchi Powerbook da 17 e 12 pollici: “Oh, sarà qualcosa di meglio. Molto meglio”. ...

Microsoft, because of the STOP to development of Windows Media Player for MacOSX, make a page on our site where we can download a nice thing: a plugin for QuickTime aims to view Windows Media Files. Seems to be a good product: I will update you soon. The plugin is Flip4Mac. The company behind this piece of code is Telestream, that sell other plugins to import/edit WMF. I have a question: M$ is the richest company in the World and… needs third-part plugin to make our file-formats viewable on MacOSX? It’s a Joke? :| ( :lol: )

From: xyz@abc.123 Subject: Powerbook support Date: January 10, 2006 4:55:31 PM ET To: Apple Tech Support Hello, I purchased a new Powerbook three weeks ago.
