Hardware categorization discussion seeks your opinions. There is a straw poll to see what usage to adopt as far as copyrighted items that begin with a lowercase letter (like iTunes, iMac, iBook, etc.). Wikipedia:Macintosh collaboration "goes live"; this collaboration will replace the improvement focus.

[edit] Welcome

Hello, Charles Gaudette, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Somehow, you managed to have an account for a while without a welcome message, so there you go. Thanks for your suggestion on the Ultimate (sport) talk page. If you're feeling bold, you might as well add a discussion of the importance of the throw to the article. Don't worry if it's not perfect. Good luck! --Christopherlin 21:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from mboverload

Thanks for taking the time to cleanup the heatsink article. =) --mboverload @ 00:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not done yet either! :-) --Charles Gaudette 00:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from FrostyBytes

Nice work on the Computer cooling article, even though it's almost exlusively changing "heatsink" to "heat sink". I'd have been to lazy to do it. ;)

Thanks, user:FrostyBytes, for the positive re-enforcement! The whole [Computer cooling]] article is going to take time to clean-up. (Please sign your comments.) --Charles Gaudette 20:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moving Battery

No worries, mate! Didn't mean to mark the move minor, that was an oversight on my part. I don't mind being called on it when I mess something up, but would appreciate a some gentle explanation on what problems I caused along with it. If I don't know exactly what I did wrong, I'm still liable to do a again! ;-) --jwanders^Talk 21:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Safari

The Zoological Center Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan (which includes both a safari park and a regular zoo) is special because it is also known as Safari in Hebrew, in other words, Safari is one of its names. By contrast, for example, is Longleat, which no one would call just 'Safari'. However, if you feel strongly about it, please create a list of safari parks or something. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 02:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smith

I think the "bookshop" would be descriptive enough to disambiguate W H Smith from other Smiths that someone might be looking for, without "chic" (or "high street", for that matter). -- JHunterJ 02:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see -- I was unfamiliar with the phrase "high-street chic". It would be clearer to use it as a hyphenated compound adjective, "high-street-chic bookshop", I think. -- JHunterJ 12:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

Sorry about the vandalism on the carbon nanotube article, it was probably one of my brothers. --213.202.143.137 21:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oxford Dictionary of English move

Hi, I see you were correct to move the article to the new location Oxford Dictionary of English. How did you do it? It appears that the history has not been copied over, so could it be possible that the page existed already, and you copied and pasted? I just find it difficult to check the history now. May I suggest that you ask for admin assistance to move the history over. Thanks, Widefox 00:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] x86-64

"A main logic board designed for 32-bit CPUs can never be upgraded with a 64-bit CPU."

"Sentence is inaccurate; there are motherboards for 32-bit athlons which can be upgraded to 64-bit ones"

Wouldn't that be the other way around — "there are motherboards for 64-bit Athlons which can use 32-bit ones."? Maybe I was trying to be too concise, but the point remains: if you don't design for 64-bit from the beginning you cannot get there later.--Charles Gaudette 16:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Well no, there were 32-bit processors for Socket 754, so someone could design a 32-bit system with a 754 motherboard and later stick in an athlon 64 model. After Socket A was discontinued, people designing 32-bit sempron systems would use socket 754, for example. I guess it's more of a corner case than I originally thought, but is the sentence necessary anyway? At this point, I think someone would really have to go out of their way to find a non-64-bit-capable AMD socket. Kundor 08:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
