Re: OT: Apple Macs

The price of new macs seem to be very similar between suppliers. If you are going to buy new I'd choose a supplier close enough to collect it from as I've had more than enough gear damaged by carriers. The cost of the latest version of Quark will make you weep too. As it's DTP you are using it for you could consider a second hand G3 running a later version of the classic operating system with say QE

The machine of choice, no doubt, for paedophiles on the run?

It all depends what you mean by "modest" - I've recently bought four Powerbooks from eBay for a grand total of less than a hundred quid, but they're ancient 68030/040 models from 1993-ish ...

If you're happy with a minimal spec desktop, take a look at eBay.co.uk item #2743716100.

If your still worried, Martyn, take a look at the online Aberystwyth paper now, you know, the one your friend Gareth writes for? You might find some very interesting articles there today! And as usual, go and publish a website about it, best advice I can give you.

Come to think of it, why didn't you get that pic at Billing? Is it because of *certain* things you've been warned about?

I have both. One of the original Bondi blue iMac's and a Tangerine laptop. I have also had in the past three different PC's which have ended up at the dump and I wouldn't have one again, unless it was free. In the past 5 years of owning the iMac it has only ever broken down to the point where I copuldn't fix it myself, and the cd rom has never been the same since Joanne told Isaac that it was hungry and they fed it a marmite sandwich.

Yeah, seen it - all it affirmed for me was that UWL is a right little nest of paedophiles - first you, then Janiurek...

And which one of your paranoid delusional fantasies are you working from now paedophile?

Be seeing you, Tony.

Funny how Januirek reckons he knows you quite well, then!

ROTFLMAO!

And which one of your other paranoid delusional fantasies are you working from now paedophile?

So long as there's a paedophile on the loose, I'll ensure people know about it. I kept quiet for long enough. If you don't want to read it, plonk the thread, or me.

Your actions are wearing thin on all of us these days.

Probably not as much as your actions have caused to countless children, paedophile. I hope they cut your balls off in prison.

There he goes again, trying to shift the blame onto everyone else but himself. Typical Bailey antics.

I can't see what this has to do with the original post which was about apple macs. You could have at least changed the subject line so that those who don't want to read it can ignore it.

Not much.

Why? The original thread was way off topic in the first place.

Well, because it is a different topic.

Nikki seems to have neatly achieved it anyway!

Usenet is pulp, people have short memories. For around 3 months Luckwill replied with something null to almost every thread to which I contributed. I, in turn, exercised restraint and did not reply - even to the most crass, incoherent, paranoid and fabricated drivel.

I am now determined to continue to highlight what he is - for the benefit of those who may be new, or been away or simply have a short memory. I'm tending to do it 'within' threads, usually threads which are 'off topic' in the first place. Frankly, I'm getting my own back, and I'm enjoying it (nothing tastes quite as good as seeing a paedophile squirm, and also a touch of 'I told you so'isms).

I do not feel it's unreasonalbe to make such comments, in off topic threads started by other parties - it's easy to plonk a thread, equally easy to plonk me, that decision is down to the individual reader. I'd hope that my overall ratio of signal to noise is worth putting up with a little self indulgence - which is, after all, easily avoided should you not wish to read it.

May be so, but so is this and has nothing what so ever to do with the original post, which although was not about Land Rovers, was asked on this newsgroup because he knew that several people on the newsgroup use or have used macintosh computers.
