upload the file to a FTP server or better yet, rsync the file to a remote server for 100 % non corrupted file once the rsync is done.

Not quite accurate. The people who designed and wrote the first MAC OS were part of the Xerox Star project of Xerox PARC in Palo Alto. the Xerox Star was the first computer to be shown it a true graphical user interface (GUI) it was never produced commercially. The people behind the Star OS eventually were recruited to do work on components of the Mac OS.

 

The Mac OS was NOT a unix system. It was proprietary code. It could not be Unix based because the first mac had to ran with only 128 kb of RAM off a 400 kb floppy drive.

 

If at all, the projects that came out of Xerox PARC served as inspirations. X Windows is a Unix based GUI that was adopted in graphics workstations such as Digital Equipment Corp's VAXstation III and running under DEC's Unix implementation, Airix and on IBM's System 6000 workstations running under IBM's unix implementation AIX.

 

I ought to know. From 1986 to the '90s I was an employee of Apple Computer.

I responded to this in the other thread where I said CDs and snail mail/courier may still be the fastest and most convenient for your dad if he is not tech savvy. But if you really want to do the electronic download you can use the idisk feature of dot mac. Of course it will cost US$10 but it will be the simplest way to do this.

PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE MARCHES ON...

 

 

Apple Announces new iMac

 

(from CNET)

 

New iMacs announced at Apple's summer press event!

 

As we've come to expect from the folks at Apple, today's press event was top secret (with possibly a few leaks to the Web) until Steve Jobs hit the stage. The wait is over: sleek new iMacs are available in 20-inch and 24-inch models. To go with the smooth aluminum design and glossy screens, Apple has also introduced two new keyboards--a larger, wired version with flat keys and a smaller, Bluetooth wireless version. The lowest-tier 20-inch iMac will replace the older 17-inch models, but it will still sell for the same price of $1,199. A second-tier 20-inch iMac is also available with a faster processor for $1,499. The third-tier 24-inch version sells for $1,799. The highest-level 24-inch iMac, running the 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme, will cost $2,299.

 

-----------------

 

I checked out the new iMac at http://www.apple.com/imac/technology/.

 

Gone is the chintzy plastic casing. The iMac now sports a very svelte and stylish brushed aluminium case like the Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. The C2D processor is now bumped up to a standard 2.0 ghz with options to 2.4 ghz and 2.8 available on the 24-inch.

 

A 17 inch model has not been mentioned. Only the 20-inch and 24-inch now remain. Graphics is now a Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128 mb of GDDR3 on the low-end and a Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256 mb of GDDR3 ram on the 24-inch.

 

Hard disk storage starts at 250GB/320GB on the 20-inch and 320GB on the 24-inch but get this, Apple will supply larger hard disks in 500GB, 750GB and 1TB if you want it. This explains why my Apple dealer has 1TB drives. They are already stocking up on service parts as required by their Apple dealership agreement.

 

RAM maxes to 4GB using 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM in SO-DIMM format. It ships with at least 1GB.

 

The LCDs are now glass-encased glossy screens. 1680 x 1050 on the 20-inch and 1920 x 1200 on the larger unit. It uses a slightly taller 16:10 aspect ration with a black bezel surround that hides the built-in iSight camera.

 

Bluetooth, and WIFI N (Airport as Apple calls it) are built in as are a superdrive, and a slew of ports.

 

I should have waited for this instead of blowing my wad on a MacPro.

That is really sexy. FrogDesign, the Scandinavian industrial design house that does the designs for Apple really does a good job. They also do industrial design for Bang and Olufsen. Well, if Apple decides to send production to China so that they keep their margins high and costs low, expect bargain basement pricing for China made knock offs soon on that keyboard.

You don't have to whine about blowing your wad on a MacPro. the new iMac may look sleek but nothing beats the MacPro when it comes to performance. You don't get all the space for upgrades from hard drive, memory, and other expansions in an iMac. The MacPro may not look as nice but it sure got a lot more juice when it comes to performance.
