are rebated are 60GB.
I'm confused:-(

When Leopard comes out I'd be interested in trying out the server
version of the OS to see if it will work for me with Panther clients.
Apple don't do tryout versions of their OSen, and I don't fancy paying
out for it to try it, in case it's no use....potential wast of money.

First off I have to say that LIttle Britain is the most overrated and
annoying piece of crap on tv
the first few shows raised a smile, but it was then repetetive..
so i was watching a very recent Oz episode (not yet on BBC - we'll see

I like iTunes 7, and it hasn't eaten my hamster.  It hasn't quite
downloaded *all* of my library's album art, but I wouldn't expect that
as much of my library isn't *on* the iTMS.  Is it just me?

I'm following an Italian newsgroup about mac, which is really nice (and
full of nice people) but I guess not really technical.
I own a macbook ( I had an iBook before) and I like it.
With my iBook (with both APExtreme and DWL122) I could change my mac

The cheapest TFT monitors are available, especially second-hand, for
less than £100. The cheapest data projectors cost quite a bit more.

Well, here I am typing this on my MacBook Pro 2.0Ghz, a mere month and
three quarters after initially hitting problems. I can tell the MacBook
Pro is back, because all of a sudden I'm wondering about air
conditioning again - my god these things are hotter than I remembered.

I'm writing a wee shell script to ping a remote host every {mumble}
seconds/minutes. In the event of three failures it will open a telnet
connection to my router and issue a 'reboot' command. I'm hoping this
should nicely automate getting rid of ADSL stale sessions.

I'm not sure I get the market for this product.
I watched the stream and the interface looked pretty much like Front Row?
but with a few tweaks. I didn't think the graphics were that great as Steve
did.

...the SuperDrive is dead.  It spins up OK, but won't read any disk I
throw at it.  Oh well; given its a BTO I'll try to get Apple to send me
a new drive for a DIY fix.

Would like to know of some happy mac digital photographers that have used
mid ranged (cost) photo printers or dual purpose printers. Brands and models
please. Are they comparable to kiosk type ones at shopping centres or photo
stores. Tired of driving many kilometers to get photos ...

Apropos absolutely nothing, I just want to say the best piece of
hardware I ever bought was my 2nd hand Laser 16/600. £100 5 years ago;
still spitting out the pages in a nonchalant way quite happily. If only

Today it's Elana Kehoe's turn with the cake and candles. 21 again! Happy
birthday Elana, hope you have a good one...
