I think for less than $100, it's not a luxury item
If it costs more than $20 for me to avoid the terrible imposition of carrying my iPod to the gym, I cry luxury.
This in no way means I won't have one in a month or two.

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

Almost makes me want to convert to MAC. Almost.
Want. A. Mini.
Unfortunately, I just bought a new Dell a few months ago, so don't see how I can justify it. It's just so. damn. cute!

Also quietly discontinued in recent weeks is Apple's original AirPort (802.11b) wireless networking card. Sources indicate that the product's discontinuation was brought on by supplier changes. Simply, 802.11b chipset manufacturers have stopped producing the product, having migrated to 802.11g.
Unfortunately, this move has left millions of AirPort-ready Mac users who may have wished to connect wireless in the future hanging. In the process, it's also sharply increased the value of original AirPort cards. Auctions on eBay for used cards without warranties have been closing around $150 in recent weeks for a product that originally cost $100 when new.

Bleargh. Adelphia.net just disconnected me for sharing copyright material. They're going to send me a letter telling me what it was, and if they catch me again, I won't get reinstated the next time. It seems like a third party is making this happen -- he told me I could download if I wanted, I just couldn't share.
Sadly, despite the "reinstatement" my splitter now won't work, so I can have cable TV, or I can have cable internet.
I must remember to switch back to TV before I leave, and put in another support call.

Tom, that is hysterical!
Now, my question.
Do any of you know anything about Quark?
Currently I use Adobe InDesign, and our "real" designers use Quark, so I cannot update their designs any more.
I know with Indesign, in order to be able to really modify pictures/graphics, I still need photoshop and Illustrator. Is that true with Quark as well, or is it all in one, or are their different programs which are more compatible with Quark.
For some reason all the info I find on Quark seems to assume I already know exactly what it does!

Pretty sure -- it's the only sort of sharing I do. If it's about what I was sharing at the time they cut me off, Stargate was the culprit. Since I've already grabbed Spooks, I'm not heartbroken, but I am miffed.
