OK, I see these on my 'Phil and Dave's Excellent CD' developer collection of early OS's. I think I still have a working Mac Plus that would support these, if I can find the 800k floppies to create a System disk.

Is there any correlation between who calls you Racer Ten and the person you're going to hurt?

I'm just imagining you talking with a few people -- one of them calls you Racer Ten, and you turn and smack an innocent bystander.

:D

Well, there is the fact that the only person I'll actually see who might call me Racer 10 (so I can hear it) is Craig... tomorrow night... so we'll see.

:rolleyes:

Of course I was going to try to bum a ride off him to get home, so that'll probably play a large part in what happens. ;)

while i was on hold waiting thru the jibba-jabba CDW pipes in your ear, i distinctly heard the canned woman say 'mac os-sex'. it struck me as odd, from someone who is authorized to sell the stuff.

prolly hasnt changed in a couple of weeks. 800-all-macs

The canned voice people probably don't know anything... they're just hired.
Still, next time you call you should ask them to get it redone.

A lot of companies that have been creating Mac software for a long time still refer to them as MACs. Which seriously rubs me the wrong way. WTF is that an acronym for?

lol...lot's of stuff apparently: http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-quer...=MAC&Find=Find

I didn't mean literally, of course. When I think MAC, I think ethernet hardware address. But please don't get me started on the whole MAC vs. Mac debate.

That site is wrong, BTW, right off the bat.

That is NOT an acronym. BTW is an acronym. NASA is an acronym. FBI is an acronym. LAPOS is an acronym.

"Mac" is an abbreviation. :)

is it "Oh Ess Ex" or "Oh Ess Ten"
 

Since the X in OS X is a Roman numeral, I'd go with "OS decimus ten point five".

Few.. resurrecting a thread that is almost 4 years old! :)

This thread is weird to me, because I've never actually seen this debated anywhere. Isn't OSX pretty much just called "oh ess ex" these days? Even by Apple?

I like it when people say "Oh Ess Ex" fast and it sounds like "Oh Es Sex". They are sexy computers though:rolleyes:.. Just look at that stainless steel and those delicious icons..
Did I say that out-loud? :D

If you want curves nothing beats the old clamshell eh?

I loved those things.. Wonder why they stopped making them:eek:..

And speaking of sexy, check out this macbook:rolleyes:..

Always remember, Felix, to point out if links are work safe. It took me a couple minutes, because I was busy checking out the 15" MBP, but I eventually noticed that there was a woman behind it, and the MBP was the only thing she was wearing... ;)

Too funny.
And Felix, great link.

For a minute there, I was completely baffled.. After revisiting the link and inspecting the photo in detail, I noticed that you guys were right.. there was a naked lady behind the macbook :D It almost ruined the picture
I'll try be more careful next time I post links like that on here:rolleyes:

I downloaded the photo, and set it up as the desktop picture in my son's login on the mbp we all share. I'm hoping to be around when he logs in so I can see his reaction.

Now, why doesn't my dad do that? :D
