The only thing I wish I could get for the mac

is a stable RPG map maker... nevertheless today I fired up corel painter and just did it, a world map... but I still wish I could just fire profantasy.. and no Dunjinni is not that stable.

As is those are niche products, so I get it

Perhaps one of these days I will have to learn how to program and produce my own program... or just stick to what I am doing... Corel Painter.

1. Well, if you have an Intel-based Mac, you can always use Bootcamp

Parallels, or Fusion to run Windows and profantasy

2. Nah... I can use the Win machine and keep the

mac machine free of any windows

I have a windows box.

That said, I got the art and will see if I can make nozzles and use them with corel painter

3. I downloaded the demo of their $99 version of Painter.

I love it. It does some things I need to do in PS.

Failing Seagate drives haunt MacBook owners

A previously reported manufacturing defect is resulting in permanent data loss for numerous MacBook owners, according to Retrodata -- a UK-based drive recovery firm. The company says the critical flaw resides only in Seagate 2.5-inch SATA drives produced in China with a firmware version of 7.01, and an Apple spokesman has acknowledged that the company is looking into the matter. Retrodata says the problem is so severe that Seagate should recall the hard drives, and that Apple is responsible for replacing the drives free of charge.

8. China needs a few more years and should do what the Taiwanese did.

They learned from the Japanese. The Japanese opened plants there and the Taiwanese learned their methods and practices and built their own industry from what they learned. Their quality went from shit to world class.

9. Yes, but both Japan and taiwan started their own brands from the git go

the Chinese are not doing that

And the truth is this country could not build a computer right now from natively made components

Let alone a cruise missile

10. True. China is very good at reverse engineering. That's how Japan

was able to kneecap us. Asia is turning out many more engineers than we are. The sun is setting on us.
