whose would it be?
Surly there is somebody who's personal stuff you wouldn't mind taking a nice long look at.
Personally...it's a toss up. I'll post what I think later.
What about you?

Since I have no real life friends and the Macs at work aren't quite "cutting edge" (Fastest they have is a G4/466 Gig Ethernet/Built-in CD-R) I can't say I'd steal one from anyone. I wouldn't mind swiping a nice Dual GHz G4 from a CompUSA or Apple Store though
And for the record the statement about not having any friends was not a desperate cry for help, just the facts.

I've heard that he (and Clinton) is a Mac user, but you're probably right about the secret documents. He probably only uses his Mac for Tetris!

Mike you need my new Instantapersona� application. Then you don't need friends.
Everyone has seen in these forums where I reply to myself with semi-witty commentary.
I've been beta-testing this app with various levels of success.

ASCI (not ASCII) White would be incredibly boring for what information it contained... that was the purpose of this, I think
But hey, if I had a powerplant or something under my house, sure, I'd take it!!

Jonathan Ives- head of Apple's ID group. I'm really curious what his desktop looks like.
Plus, I bet there are a few interesting peeks of the next Apple hardware designs lurking on his HD.

that would be the most powerful computer of a government agency, or etchalon.
I'd use either as a firewall and server for my G4.

I'd take one from the NRO Office. Get me the codes and access data for sattellites and I could possibly retask one. Next time I'm away on vacation and need a house sitter I could have Keyhole12! Of course the downside is that embarrassing moment when someone from the National Security Agency calls me up and asks, "Uh, Rambo47 - why is KH12 above Denville, New Jersey instead of Pakistan where we left it?" I hate when that happens.

I heard he's got like two or three Dual G4s rack mounted on their tour bus, that would be rather sweet to play with, just imagin how much shit there would be on there, countless remixs, unreleased stuff. Then you could create your own shit right there, that would be rather amazing. He also droped some serious coin for his home studio. Set up a huge lan party and have great music going while we play RtCW.

Would you remember that? I remember East Berlin, Alexander Platz, summer 1987. Lot's of concrete, lot's of tourists from East Bloc countries, strange cigarettes, cheap beer, unfriendly people. I was lost, didn't know what to make of it.
