There is always a race for the latest and greatest, but I think systems have become so powerful that anything bought in the past year or so will now be viable for many years to come. Kind of like cars...... dramatic changes in the first 30-40 years........ but progress kind of leveled off after that....... or at least slowed to a point where a 20-30 year old vehicle could still operate on a highway without a problem......sort of like my mint 1980 Jeep CJ7:cool:
Just got an e-mail saying the Dual G4 Quicksilver is sold out. Back to the iMac!:D

... really strange, because those doping accusations don�t come from mere conspiracy, but from serious research on the side of the testing facility as much as from the journalist who uncovered his identity related to the positively tested probes. The DNA testing method is accurate, the EPO separation and testing is accurate, too, all scientifically waterproof to the roof.
He didn�t do anything to prove them wrong, just some rhetorics in that regard, noisy patriotic screaming live on CNN.
Don�t misunderstand me: I don�t hate Armstrong, but to me his behaviour seems to be troublesome at the least. Indeed he did nothing serious, nor anything productive and helpful to falsify those completely fact based accusations. Those results aren�t made up by the french because they hate him.
Actually he behaves quite like Mariah Jones, e.g., or similar doping cases in the last few years. Something seems to be wrong, and probably not only in terms of the 1999 tour.
What do you think?

Well, I finally got something else different to the 6701s:
Project 6067
TPF: 5min 11s
PPD: 7906
Not bad, especially for just 60W of power.
Rob
nice! so i wonder, is it capable of bigadv units? (not that i'd do that, but knowing that it could)

I had one dead pixel on my old Sony Vaio which was stuck bright and it was really annoying, even on a 1024x768 11" screen. That one doesn't seem nearly as bad.
Apple is not going to replace it with one bad pixel...

Here you go... my entry is entitled "Newton's Apples"
It's difficult to tell from 75x75 pixels, but it's supposed to be Isaac Newton under a tree, getting bombarded with various "apples" :D

Is a shorten keyboard ideal to learn playing on? I see Garage Band has some lessons but I would imagine as a beginner, the last thing you want is to adjust knobs and sliders to move up/down the octaves.
I like the M-Audio Oxygen 25. Looks like a very compact but has a lot of features.
Any thoughts?
If you actually want to learn how to play a keyboard as an instrument get a 49 key or higher MIDI controller. A 25 key is best used for melodies with one hand. I can also vouch for the Oxygen. A Keystation will do the trick too.
And while the knobs and sliders (the control surface) are not that useful for playing, they're extremely helpful in music production.
After you get your controller, mess around w/ garage band let your needs dictate what gear you buy...
- speaker monitors
- pad controllers (IE MPD's)
- audio interfaces
- better software / instruments
- etc

What is a good app for a newbie to create a webpage? I want something simple and easy, free would be a plus. I also have a simple knowledge of html.
technical speaking vi from the terminal; which means open up terminal and typing "vi" is the hardest app to work with. however, if you can learn vi which has a fairly high learning curve and be able to create webpages it will assure you that you can use any html editor of your choice without any problems. the down side vi is quite confusing if you never used before. the up side is your'll be able to use any *nix flavored server and be able to create a webpage without the aid of the special software because vi is installed on ever unix severs. however, if you don't need the functionality go with bbedit or subthaedit.

use a lightly damp paper towel. then wipe it with a dry paper towel. thats all you need.
A paper towel can scratch the display. Use a micro-fiber or soft cotton cloth instead.

I have had no problems pushing a Vizio 47" LCD, or a LG 37" LCD with my 5 year old Mac mini, 3 year old MacBook (both in sig), or my girlfriend's '09 13"MBP.

By no problem, do you mean that you feel no difference between 10.6 an 10.7?
Well the cursor is not as fast as in Windows, but it's managable.
I don't notice a difference between 10.6 and 10.7 as far as tracking speed, but I don't do much gaming and mouse speed is not an issue for me.
I don't use Windows on this Mac, so I am not sure about the speed in between Mac/Windows.

Hi all,
I recently purchased the new 2011 MBP and a friend provided me with a cracked, full version of iWork which was installed as normal and required a serial number which worked successfully.
My MBP is now telling me that there are software updates available for it however I was wondering if anyone knows if I perform the software update will my version no longer work (i.e. will apple know I did not buy the product and it won't let me use iWork anymore)?
Thanks
Daniel

Hi all,
Just curious to see how many have a apple laptop and and Ipad. Work just bought me a MBP last week and I already have a Ipad 2. Just trying to justify the two, maybe I sell the ipad 2 because I have to keep the laptop. By the way, I love both of them...I use the Ipad 2 for reading books, magazines etc...
Thanks for the comments or thoughts...

Thanks for your replies.
I'd kind of like to do it all myself but am also interested by the blog option. Are there free blog hosting and domains out there which will give me the required options?

Hi Guys,
The monitor is still for sale! I had listed it on eBay and it sold quickly but the buyer had an unconfirmed address with PayPal so I could not take a chance and go through with the sale.
I am also lowering the price to $440 + shipping. Please PM me if interested.
Thanks!

can someone develop an application for OSX Snow Leopard/Lion, that works, that can backup a Windows 7 Boot Camp partition, and then restore it? i would pay $50+ for an application that can do this successfully. why hasn't anyone developed anything yet?
i've already tried Winclone to no avail...all i get is errors when i try to restore. i guess Winclone hasn't been updated in a while and isn't supported by Snow Leopard.

Go to Macromedia's website and download a free 30 day trial of Dreamweaver. The interface is easy to understand. The color coding text makes looking at the code alot easier. And, you can preview pretty much instantly what you've done, so you can toy around with the code to see what everything does. Good way to learn. I learned on Dreamweaver(pirated), then went to notepad when i re-evaluated my morals, and then went back to buy dreamweaver for mac when i switched over. If there's a notepad-equivalent for macintosh, you can probably use it for webpages once you've learned html for about a month.
