OS/2 has it. And that picture is probably from 1994, when Macs looked less
or more like this:

And that was the _actual_ resolution you would have had to work with.

I will paraphrase this for the rest of the world: You will go back _on meds_
during December and they will give you new medicines and put you through to
cure your dementia. Sounds good!

Professional things to? No ****? Wow! We were all sure you lived off of food
stamps and welfare. No people with a job has so much time on his hands to
harass people in newsgroups, with a daily overdose of his masturbations and
thoughts nobody is interested in, over a computer software.

Help and guidance so that people can manage to **** up the almost userless

I hope by the time of February the mental hospital where you reside will
pull the plug on your Internet connection. It's probably the doctors' way to
get rid of yourself for a couple few hours, but it doesn't mean we are
supposed to cope up with the bull**** of a brain scarred jerk like you.

Good find, Curtis. This guy is obviously one annoying dullard. He kept
saying Leopard was running at full speed on his computer, he said all the
troubles were caused by people trying to run it on Hackintosh PC's, now we
read a story where his precious Apple laptop's performance was destroyed by
Apple's latest OSX release.
Timmy is a train wreck. The way he embrasses himself so deliberately makes
me feel he has no sense of decency. He has littered his name forever and
still he has the guts to troll around, just making his reputation even
worse, if possible.
By the way, I didn't bother to update my iBook. It doesn't take much to
understand the first release of a new operating system can't be as stable
and solid as a seasoned one. That's also why OS/2 rocks and I have to reboot
my Aurora server once per year, less or more :-)

Deceptive editng - but what else is new from an NT user lurking in the
OS/2 newsgroups?
How many people do you know that have a high-end Mac Pro with a high-
end ATI graphics card and a 30" Apple display monitor? I'll wager
none. You avoided the truth, as usual: Apple made sure Leopard works
well on their bread and butter products: MacBooks, MacBook Pros and
iMacs. They write their own graphics drivers and have a bit of
adjusting to do on the high-end graphics drivers. I can live with
that. I do have Leopard installed on my 24" iMac and my new "Santa
Rosa" MacBook.
If you had a 3GHz Mac Pro with 8Gig of RAM and 3TB of hard disk space
and asked me if you should install Leopard my answer would be no, wait
for a few updates. Or would you rather I lie to you?
Tiger is an excellent OS and Apple continues to upgrade it. Must
drive you nuts being forced to rely on Microsoft as you do Curtis.
Thank God that isn't my choice of operating systems.

Oh! So Leopard doesn't work because you're special! You indeed are special,
Timmy: if ignorance were a disability in USA, you'd be the only one who'll
get the full pension! Just to remind you and the others:
Google search on "leopard blue screen", 133 hits:
http://news.google.it/news?hl=en&ned...rd+blue+screen
Google search on "leopard crashes", 105 hits
http://news.google.it/news?hl=en&ned...eopard+crashes

You still are special, though, Timmy, "in a way"! I bet you thought it was
just coincidence that your parents had the same surnames before they
married!

Special has nothing to do with it but thanks for the compliment. It
has to do with a high end graphics card, 512mb of RAM on that card and
a 30" Apple Cinema HD display monitor. I know that is hard for you to
fathom - owning such amazing equipment - but for those of us with
higher IQs it is a requirement.

Oh my Gawd Ricci, 133 and 105 - that's God awful, isn't it? Lessee
Apple sold over three million copies of Leopard and you were able to
find 133 references to "blue screen" and 105 hits for "leopard
crashes". ROTFL!
Try this Ricci, since your such a big Microsoft lackey. There are
over 4 million hits for "Vista Crashes" and 3 million hits for "Vista
Blue Screen of Death". And Microsoft has only sold a 6 million copies
of Vista! Bummer, huh? You must be peeing your pants right about
now. Go ahead, show us that Vista search button again. We love
seeing you spin like a top!
Take a hike you MS whiner. You aren't worth my time nor anyone
else's. LOL! What a Wuss!

Now you're just outright lying and your original post proves that.
You provided no such link, you illegally stole information from my
blog and purposely posted it out of context. Here's exactly what you
posted:

You are ridiculous CB - but it is no surprise coming from a failed OS/
2 user now relying on a old Microsoft operating system to get along.
I think we all assume you are just too poor to "move up". It was just
a matter of time before Apple's Tech Support provided the answer and
that answer came quickly. The advice was the installation of a fan
regulator for the ATI X1900 graphics card because the original fan
settings were just too low. That's an ATI error, not an Apple error.
v10.5 [Leopard] is now installed on my Mac Pro and running beautifully
just as it is for all those who have taken the advice to install the
free regulator program. Granted there are those who refuse to do so
insisting Apple should have included it in the first release but no
company or operating system is perfect. Dear God, that's clearly
evident with your dependence on Microsoft's NT. Apple has promised to
include the fix in the next 10.5.1 update.
Here's my current desktop: http://os2guy.com/images/p001.jpg
You can't mistake that 30" graphical screen display, the mirrored dock
and the transparent top menu bar all belong to Leopard nor the system
information screen. 10.5 is Leopard.
And then, of course, there is this: "Leopard is back!

Now you're just outright lying and your original post proves that.
You provided no such link, you illegally stole information from my
blog and purposely posted it out of context. Here's exactly what you
posted:

You are ridiculous CB - but it is no surprise coming from a failed OS/
2 user now relying on a old Microsoft operating system to get along.
I think we all assume you are just too poor to "move up". It was just
a matter of time before Apple's Tech Support provided the answer and
that answer came quickly. The advice was the installation of a fan
regulator for the ATI X1900 graphics card because the original fan
settings were just too low. That's an ATI error, not an Apple error.
v10.5 [Leopard] is now installed on my Mac Pro and running beautifully

BTW, see those two LaCie external hard drives up there in that left
hand corner? They are both 1TB, one used for hourly system backup
with Time Machine and the other for extra space. The Mac Pro itself
now has 4TeraBytes of internal hard disk space and 2TeraBytes of
external hard disk space.
It is nice to have lots of space! :-)
New Mac Pros will be coming out soon with 8-core configuration that
employs two top-of-the-line quad-core "Harpertown" chips. These new
machines are expected as early as the end of November for those of you
interested. They will probably start around $3,000 for a basic 750Gig
system but expandable to 4TB, 16Gig RAM with two Blu-Ray superdrives.
I can't wait and very excited!

I hear rumours of new Mac Minis with faster CPUs in the works.

I guess he was relying on you being like the entire rest of the world.
