    Dan,

    Stop telling me stuff about the iPhone 3GS that I already know! I know about the processor and the RAM. What about stickers?! I'm tired of just getting white Apple stickers. I want puffy stickers and hologram stickers and maybe some scratch-n-sniffs. How come MAC can't ship rainbows and kitten stickers?! The technology has been out there for MONTHS!


    I'm not buying this iPhone 3GS unless I am assured that it comes with a shiny hologram sticker of a unicorn with a rainbow, three kitten stickers, two pony stickers, and a peanut butter scratch-n-sniff shaped like a peanut (NOT A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER!!!) If MAC can't do that then they can't have my money.

    @Nick: Dear "Bertha"


    UR STUPDI AND CANT READ GOOD!


    I said a shiny hologram sticker of a unicorn with a rainbow. Not a plain unicorn/rainbow sticker. I already have two of those on my lunchbox. It has to be a shiny hologram sticker!


    Wear did you learn your maths? Steve Jobs is not a kitten. Steve Jobs does not equal one kitten. Steve Jobs doesnt equal three kittens. Kittens are better then Steve Jobs. I don't want your dump Steve Jobs sticker.


    I don't like boy ponies cuz they smell and fart. Girl ponies are better betcause they liek to have their mane (that's what they call hair on ponies and horses) brushed and you can put ribbons in their mane. You only got half right and Mrs. Armstrong said that a 50% is an "F" so you FAIL!


    Did I say I wanted a Mr. Peanut sticker? READ DAMMIT! It needs to be shaped like A PEANUT NOT MR> PEANUT. Why do I want to smell Mr. Peanut he prolly smells like old people and he's a poor because he' can't even afford a whole pair of glasses.


    Bertha, your a bad worker and I hope that Woz runs over you with his Segway and then sits on you and uses you to dry his sweatstains. You can't even fill a simple request for STICKERS!!

    @vinceoftexas: I tried to think of an intelligent and witty response, but unfortunately the gayness of me having ordered my brand new iPhone 3G Ass has gone to my fashion sense.


    SO here's my response.

    Marketing folk are lying too.


    Apple is killing

    Microsoft's schilling

    The whole world's gone to hell

    But how are you?


    I'm super

    Thanks for asking

    All things considered

    I couldn't be better I must say


    I'm feeling super

    No, nothing bugs me

    Everything is super when you're

    I'm so sorry

    But I just can't feel too bad for you right now.

    Because I'm feeling

    So insanely super

    That even the fact that you can't walk

    I have 6GB OCZ Platinum 1600mhz, that I underclocked to 1066 in bios, for tighter timings of course, and then OC'd it to 1500mhz. My QPI is linked to my OC so I'm at 3.8ghz clock on my i7. Technical enough for yalls?

    In reply to The Three Things You Really Need to Know About RAM
    As long as computers have Turbo buttons, I've never needed more than 1028K of main RAM and 384K of extended RAM. Plus, if you put HIMEM.SYS in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you'll really see results.


    I've got a 80MB hard drive in my computer and with DOS 5.0, I have no lag in loading things. I have to put /p after all of my "dir" searches because it runs so fast.


    My system doesn't ever slow down, not even when I have AOL and Netscape Navigator both running. I got the new version of Winsock and hacked Windows 3.11 to recognize it and my system is TOTALLY SWEEET! I got Norton Desktop on it and everything! I downloaded some .WAV files from 2001 off of AOL and while it was downloading, I was printing a 20 page Word 2.0 document. No slowdowns!


    Plus, for gaming, a full megabyte of RAM is the bomb! I tear up things on Wing Commander. Put me in a Sabre and I am totally unstoppable. Kilrathi fear me.


    Seriously, bumping my RAM from 640K to a full meg was the best $50 I ever spent.

    @Elijah Dukes' Illegitimate Son:

    Same, but I've never had any issues with it.

    I multitask a lot, including things like watching live tv, while running other Operating Systems in vmware

    Long story short, Macs multitask better, and have less wasteful eye candy, which bogs Vista and Win 7 down. In other words, 2gb is good on a Mac, bad on a PC.


    And people think Macs cost more...

    $1200????

    This is why Apple is such a crap company.. just bending people over and raping them for the price of RAM.

    Plus all the fan boys will pay it cause they think it has Steve Jobs love paint spewed all over the insides.

    I have 8gb in my computer now and it cost me less than a $50 (after rebates)... love live the economical and practical PC. :)

    not to start a flame war or anything but, to upgrade the ram on my HP would cost about $150.00. and since its Vista 64 bit version i can slap in a boatload (theoretically 10TB of ram)


    now, for apple to do that it would cost a lot. (billions?)
