Well done T-Mobile - doubling prices at a time your main competition
has just launched a new shiny thing, whilst simultaneously
demonstrating contempt for the customer in actively trying to work

I downloaded it, tried the install the way they suggested (drag one
icon onto another in the window you get from opening the disc image)
and it tells me I don't have enough privileges.
So I try simply dragging the Firefox icon into the Applications folder

That was a bit sneaky. I just joined in with the rest of the plebs and
downloaded FF3, just to get in on this download record thing.
Just launched it, and I thought I'd opened Safari by mistake!!

The DVI adapter I ordered arrived this morning, plugged it in, and the
display popped up immediately, and swapped the default desktop straight
onto the larger display.
That's *exactly* what I wanted to have happen. I'm impressed.

I've been using the prerelease versions of FireFox 3 for a while now,
and one thing I found really neat about them is that they used the OSX
spell checker.  Now that FireFox 3 final is out it seems that once
again you need to download and install a spell checker extension

That's that done then. Got the new RAM (from Crucial) in yesterday, that
rebooted and worked as expected (why not?).
The new hard drive arrived this morning (got a WD Scorpio 250GB from
Dabs for £52), and I got a USB-SATA enclosure off eBay for just over a

I downloaded Rocks 'n' Diamonds from here:

It's a PPC binary and I thought it was running slow under rosetta. Some
