Hi,
I am C3PO, and have just written my review of Who Wants to be a Millionaire on the reviews page.
I wasn't here when the discussions were going on about bugs, but I have found one that is very bad.

When you review a game you are told that only 6000 characters are aloud. i had about 8000 so I had to shorten the review in word. I was then told that I had 5800. So I tried to submit, but still I was told by the autometed statement - sorry your review has exceeded 6000. Err, no it hadn't - who do you think you are? I thought, but tried to submit again after reducing it to 5700 characters. This time it worked. Thismust be a flaw, as the little charcaters remaining number on your site quite clearly told me how many more I could put in! Strange...

Also, I am not in favour of losing all the paragraphing that my review originally had, and so I was shocked to see that all the sentences had been crammed together. This will deter people from reading the reviews - such a large chunk of writing that isn't allowed to be split up?
please sort it out. You'll have a better site then.

cheers
C3

No, I don't read MacWorld.

Apple Macs use Motorola G3 and G4 CPU chips.

If they use any Intel chips it certainly isn't for the CPU, and it's not Pentium.

I have a few old Mac 9600's which have a 486 chip in them to give PC compatibility, but it's really two computers in one, with separate RAM and everything.

U obviously dont read MacWorld!!
Intel Chips are being used in most Imac.
U can get imacs for as little as 300!!!
Have a look at loot.com and qxl!

They are cheap for what they can do, I have 4 and they are wickeeedddd.

Personally i think the DViSpecial SNOW colored is the best

No Pentium chips in iMacs, that's for sure

Motorola, or is it IBM in the new fangled ones

I think Imacs look awfully stylish myself, but I can't afford both. What Pentuium chips are used?

I'm interested in getting an Imac, but £649!!! At least you can have a choice of colour other than the boring PC grey colour. Indgo Blue or Orange...

Obviously the people who have never used an MAC would never know and cant judge, I use a G4 (dual processor) and can honestly say it is the best machine I have ever used and I have used a lot for webpages including crappy Windows.

And to answer C3PO's point, Mac are doing 3x better business at the moment then Microsoft, IntelPentium chips are used in iMacs and Microsoft have asked Apple for there assistance in a new program.

Macs are the best, Quake III is wwwiiiiccckkkeeedd on the Mac.

PC versus iMac

Obviously those supporting PC's have not experienced the pleasures of being able to do things the quick and easy Apple way, prefering instead to:
1. spend three days restoring their entire system from time to time
2. worry persistently about backing up
3. worry about whether the back up will work if they have to restore it
4. look through some mounds of spaghetti to find that they have no port left with the right number of pins which does not clash with something else
5. Take their desk apart to get to the back of the machine when something goes wrong (often)
6. Not have a proper working copy of Netscape and all the speed which comes with it due to it somehow never being quite compatible with Windows.
7. Dig through some haystack of files to find where the hell the last thing they saved has gone.
8. Fight with the illogical menu's where wallpaper comes under preferences and important things are buried three levels deep under various headings like ACCOUNTS!

C3PO

Thank you for the bug(s)

I have e-mailed your comments to one of our programmers. The system was recently revised to allow longer reviews and I agree that some paragraph spacing would be necessary.
