I recently stumbled across an application called EagleFiler from
Michael Tsai <http://c-command.com/eaglefiler/>, one of the increasing
number of 'information repository' apps like Yojimbo etc.

Are there any apps that'll produce fictional maps like you would find
in a fantasy book, like the one in the Lord of the Rings. Either by
generating them at random of letting you drag and drop items like
mountains, etc. from a palette?

The Apple UK store doesn't show up properly in Firefox (no pictures) on
this 'ere Windows box, which makes it kind of hard to use. It's fine in
IE. Been like that for a couple of days now (probably more, but I haven't
been looking).

Just curious... how difficult and time-consuming is it to upgrade a hard
disk in a MacBook Pro?
It looks like removing a handful of screws and removing the top, so half
the effort of replacing an iBook battery but twice that of a MacBook?

Being new to the Mac I still haven't figured out a relatively quick way
to convert my eyeTV recordings, which I believe are in Mpeg 2 format to
AVI or DivX format to play on my Archos AV700 DVR. Tried MPEG Streamclip
which will play them ok but wont convert despite installing the ...

Daughter has AVI file which she wishes to put on a web site using iWeb

I have a MacBook (Core Duo with 10.4.8 installed), and a miniDVI to VGA
adapter.  I've connected it up to my Toshiba 32WLT66 TV via VGA, and set
Mirroring on.  With the MacBook closed, I can use the Apple remote to

Here's a true story - do with it as you will.
A man bought TV Mini HD from Miglia at Fry's electronics through Fry's

It was priced higher than similar US products, he knows now, because TV

...but this time it's my fault.
Started the upgrade to my MacBook Pro last night. Wow, what a lot of
pointlessly fiddly screws there are to get to the drive of this
machine. Still, disassembly was relatively easy, swapped the hard drive

I have a problem, in that a recording I made in EyeTV and burnt using
Toast results in a recording without any audio.
