... NG is just incompatible enough to 3.x to be uninteresting, but not incompatible enough to be modern.

This.

I thought we were discussing how under powered the PPC CPU and its architecture were...   Not the price.

Why do you hate capitalism?

WOW! Were we discussing capitalism?  Oh, that's right, we weren't.

Will let's update that "list" a little more. :)

Not going to lose any sleep over you putting me on your ignore list.

But, if you are honestly interested in why that was said, just peruse your "sad" thread and any other thread where you rant on about the poor plebs unable to afford an X1000, or AOS4, or whatever.

Anyways, I'll return the favor, as you've shown no ability to contribute usefully to any of the conversations, either with knowledge about the subject at hand or with witty banter.

i doubt ignore lists have any effect on whomever isnt strong enough to read a post and ignore it out of his own free will.

It doesn't block that they've made a post, just the contents, which is even more useless.  For example I tried to block someone who never contributes to any discussions, just posts "stuff for sale" ads all the time, because I didn't want them clogging up the homepage.  But they were still visible.  Not as useful as the Facebook "block" option.  Although that can be kind of funny, too, when you see someone having a one-sided conversation with someone that you've blocked (or who has blocked you).  ;)

Meh.  i don't really care, as danbeaver's posts aren't really worth getting excited about blocked or unblocked.  I simply thought it funny that every time someone calls him on his crap he trots the "ZOMG - you are teh ignoreds! ROFL!", thought I'd try it on, since it seems to get his motor running.

I could say the same about Windows NT4 and all the windows after it. Or About the various opensource unix clones. Or about the first and the latest OSX version...

Not exactly...there are considerable differences between the first and last OSX, or even tiger and yosemite.  Try throwing Ubuntu 5.04 and 15.04 on a virtualbox and tell me they are the same.  Even NT4 and 7.  Huge differences.  Key words are "progressive improvements".
