Teppy, you may want to consider a wireless router with a built-in firewall. IMHO, NAT on a home network is a good thing.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um.
I want the iWench.
The discussion of wenches, laptops and boobies in the firefly thread is doing porny things to my brain.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Best of all, it's only an 870kb zip file and you just unzip to a directory and run it.

It looks like Jobs isn't saying when Tiger will ship, except that it's due in the first half of the year.

Thanks, Tom.
Maybe I'll buy Panther (10.3) now for my iBook. I've just discovered (on my Cube) that The Gimp will run on a Mac with 10.3 (with Apple's X11 installed).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's on the front page of apple.com, too. It's the most adorable computer I've ever seen!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, that shuffle is ... something I don't need, but want quite a bit.

It's cheap, but they're selling it without a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Buyers are going to feel like they're being nickeled and dimed, which is something I often feel when I'm dealing with Apple.
