Has anyone else had problems getting to Hotmail lately? My work computer (which, admittedly, is slow) has been giving me server errors whenever I try to access the site for over a week.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I had no problems getting to Hotmail this morning, LJ.

Is anyone using the Voice over IP technology for their phone line?
I'm looking at one of the Vonage/Linksys products for my FAX line.

I'm not, but my buddy uses Vonage and thinks it's great.

Cool. I use my cell phone for everything and I'm tired of all the hidden charges and stuff on my landline bill. All I really need the line for is FAX and occasional voice calls.

Re: Applecare. One good thing about Applecare is that you have 1 year from your time of purchase (of your computer) to buy Applecare. I recently used this option as it's nice to not have to front the entire cost.
Also, if you are deciding between a 15" and 17" powerbook, I strongly suggest you physically see/hold both before buying. I have a 15" instead of the 17" because the 17" is just too big for where I generally want to use it.

The 17" are quite wide and deep, that is very true.
I was looking at 15's when I got mine, and thought that the 17 would be too unwieldy. The thing that Apple got so right is making the 17 so thin. I carry it with me all over the country and have been quite amazed that the size hasn't bothered me.
I ended up on the 17 because the extra screen real estate trumped the potential hassles of a big machine. I do audio editing and being able to see a few more tracks on a mix is worth so much to me. I also do a lot of remote desktop control where I'll have up to 5 computers controlled from my laptop and again the extra screen area makes a big difference.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to stop by my local Apple store and touch them both. I don't want the laptop to be a) the "little" computer or b) so large it never moves. What's the selection like on computer bags for 17" laptops? Getting better, I figure. I'll need to track down a knapsack.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I like my 12" iBook because it is so small. Oddly enough, the 14" iBook has (or had when I bought it) the same screen resolution, even though the screen was bigger....

I've got one of the Brenthaven bags designed for the 17" PB's and it's quite nice. They are a bit pricey though. I think mine was around $170.
