You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

tommy, Word does that for word docs...which should work on text files.

Yeah, I've used Word to compare text files; I just don't like the way the comparison is presented. (I prefer the two files to be side-by-side, like the Mac FileMerge does. With Word, I have a hard time keeping straight which file the underlined stuff belongs to, and which file the crossed-out stuff belongs to.)

My iBook is ordered! 14", combo drive, standard factory specs (1.33 GHz processor, 60 GB hard drive, 256 crummy MB of RAM, etc.).

::bounce, bounce::

I'm hoping it'll be delivered by Friday.

Dude, I am SO increasing my RAM, but not through Apple. They charge so much for RAM that I would expect it to be magic pixie-dust RAM.

What's the max RAM on an iBook these days? (I have the last of the G3 iBooks - my RAM is maxed out at 640 Gig.)

I know I could look it up at apple.com, but more fun to ask here....

It ships with 256 MB and has one open SO-DIMM slot that can handle up to 1 GB. Which I plan to get, b/c I use Photoshop and Quark XPress, and those eat RAM in huge gulps.

Not sayin' it is, not sayin' it ain't.

Great prices and service on Mac Memory from Other World Computing. I've been using them for years.

This probably falls in the "Well, duh!" category, but just in case folks find it interesting...
