Apple Mac 3 5 Online Service

2 stars (Too expensive and much to basic, otherwise good.) - First let me say that I am a long time Mac user and I am trying to see all Apple services from it's positive side, so don't thing this is a beating from a Mac hater or something like that.... The pro's: -Very nice integration into Mac OS X -Very convenient backup possibility -Very nice website templates -Stylish email address (@mac.com) -Massive load of clips and sounds for "Garage Band" -Free virus scanner -Premium customer service (for .Mac services only) Now the con's (which are overwhelming) -The Price ($99 for 1000MB of space (for hosting and email), are you kidding me? Considering that you get a free email account with 2.5 GB right now.... Apple, please upgrade your service. Also they let you pay for every extra. You are paying extra for another email address and if you like to have more space. -The webhosting is much to basic. You can use simple html and that's it. Apple doesn't offer you to use scripts, databases... nothing. They don't even offer to host your own message board, blog or chat. I realized for the most basic user this does not mean anything, but for advanced users the webhosting is much too basic. -When you sign up you have to select a username. This username will be your email (yourname@mac.com and your URL (members.mac.com/yourname). You might think that there are not that many .mac users (about a million, the last time I checked), but thing again: Every time somebody signs up for a free trial the chosen username will not be deleted for years! This means if I just signed up for a free trial in the year 2000 with the username "user555", then this name is still taken today. This means it's incredibly hard to find a good username today. -The mail service is much to basic and impossible to use for power-users: I had the following confirmed from the .Mac customer service: You can not send more than a certain number of eMail an hour (I believe it was 20), because this is co...

Xandros Linux Desktop OS 3 0 Deluxe Edition

5 stars (Driving to a Friendlier Linux) - Linux?# has been portrayed as a "nerd's only" Operating System. Xandros?# Linux?# has proven wrong that assumption. From the moment you put the CD-ROM on the drive, there are few and simple instructions to follow. The process is very user friendly. Once installed there is little grief for the programs used regularly on Windows?#, since Cross Over Office runs the most popular programs. Besides the novelty of loading a new OS, I get the tranquility of a virus free, spy ware free, environment and a safe heaven for my data. 2 stars (Cheap version of a Mac Computer) - A linux that tries to look like Windows, save your money and buy a real MAC. 5 stars (LOTS of bang for your buck, secure, easy to install OS) - I have been using Xandros 3.0 Deluxe Edition for about two months on my laptop computer (an HP Pavilion dv1130us), and yesterday I installed it on my old desktop (HP Pavilion 4535) and I would like to share my experiences on using the OS. EASE OF INSTALL Xandros is very easy to install. Just put the install CD in, and the computer will boot from the CD (older computers may need a boot floppy). Within a minute or two, the main installation screen will show up. You have the option of allowing Xandros to take over the entire hard disk (which would make one partition), take over a partition (this also allows you to make a dual-boot system with either another Linux distro like Linspire or a Windows OS), and make a new partition (if you want to make a dual-boot system but have only one partition). Next, Xandros will ask you to choose what kind of installation. I always choose complete/full installation (because I can...lol). Then you will give the computer a name, and you will also enter in a password for the administrator (a password is mandatory, and I think that helps greatly in making Xandros a secure OS). Next, just kick back as Xandros installs on the hard drive. Once the install is complete, the CD will eject and you...

Mac OS X Server 10 4 Tiger - Unlimited Clients

1 stars (OS X is flawed for server work) - I love OS X but what do you buy a server for?... to centralize tasks such as web hosting and databases. This article: http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2520 points out how OS X is horribly crippled to handle such server tasks when compared to Linux running on a G5 or an AMD chip. The article is very fair and every effort was made to figure out what went wrong and the conclusion was that OS X has very poor threading functionality - something critical server applications like mysql and apache under heavy load. The Linux running on the G5 is upwards of 1000% faster than OS 10.4. Given the cost of Linux I'm not sure what would prompt me to purchase this server OS for 10 times worse performance on the same Apple hardware. I also find it ironic that Apple has touted the benefits of a single company making hardware and OS for years and this is the result. Embarassing. 1 stars (Be Careful Before You Upgrade) - I thought for the first time that I'd stay on the cuttng edge of Mac OS. Little did I know that under Tiger all of my applications would crash more often and run more slowly. I also didn't know that Symantec wouldn't support Tiger, so that my old versions of Norton Utilities and Norton Antivirus no longer work while Symantec does not plan to sell versions that do work on Tiger. Both my classic applications and my OS X applications run slower and crash more often. I really regret upgrading. Sure, the widgets function is nice, but not worth the trouble Tiger has caused me. 5 stars (Great update to the OS system) - With the exception of one (big) negative, this has been a terrific upgrade. There is no doubt that this is an 'optimized' system, as my Mac G4 is blazing through things faster than ever. Standards like iPhoto and iTunes still put Apple on the cutting edge, but new features like Safari and the Dashboard/Widgets are great for making your life easier. So, what was the one big negative, you wonder? ...

WebEasy Professional 5 0

5 stars (This is a strong product - confused by all the bad reviews) - I love this product. It is a very powerful tool and is so much better than fumbling around with DreamWeaver. While I'm not a mind reader, I feel that some of the bad reviews are from folks that thought it would be super EASY as in you snap you fingers and your website magically appears. You do have to read the manual and the instructions, but with taking a little time to learn you have a lot of functions at your disposal that are very easy to use. I have to admit that I haven't tried to access the HTML code yet, but my understanding is that you can't do this which I could see becoming frustrating. If they added that feature into the next version this product would be perfect. Nevertheless, I gave it 5 stars because as of yet there hasn't been anything that I've wanted to do that I couldn't do yet. 1 stars (Program is more complicated then learning HTML) - By the time you figure this program out you could have learned HML. I`m other word it not a very good easy to understand format where you can just start using it right away. I gave up wasting my time on it. . I have seen a few hosting services that have easy to understand templates that are very well formatted and easy to manipulate, but you really got to look around unfortunately. Maybe I'll just serch simple html code "basic easy html... 1 stars (Sucky Program) - I think that this "web easy 5" software sucks, the link thing did not work either, it kept opening it up in new windows! It really sucks, I am getting web editor 6.0! ...
