Re: [Audyssey] mac is a joke (was windows xp,

[Jody McKinniss]

Exactly.  I have a mac that runs Windows.  I can tell you from
experience that I have many, many fewer errors as opposed to running
Windows on a regular PC.

 Happily, Windows these days is not so easily broken, i.e. back in the
 bad old days of Win 95/98, where it did not take much to crash the
 computer. XP introduced a much needed level of stability, and for the
 time, it was a decent operating system. Then Windows 7 came along
 (after Vista, I am aware) and I have had to actually try for a blue
 screen of death. Any crashes that occur on my Windows 7 machine have
 little to do with Windows and more to do with JAWS.

I know that in Pokemon yellow you could put your name or pick a name from the 
selection.
Ash was one of the name.

Re: [Audyssey] Manamon main character.

[dark]

Probably because pokemon yellow was specifically meant to tie in with the tv 
series, with you automatically having pikachu as your starter.


All the best,

Ash's name was only revealed in the tv series of pokemon, in the games 
you just named your character.

In that way, the main character in my manamon game is called dark :D.

All the best,

Whatever you  name him at the start (it is definitely a him).

Ash's name was only revealed in the tv series of pokemon, in the games you 
just named your character.

In that way, the main character in my manamon game is called dark :D.

All the best,

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] mac is a joke (was windows xp,

[Tim Morris]

Windows, linix, and macs do have there place for what they can do. However,as 
far as building a windows box to equal a mac is more trouble because of the 
faults of windows. Anyone that has a mac and ran windows can tell you windows 
runns better on a mac. The reason macs are high priced is better hardware then 
you will find on any windows box sold unless customized.
