Hmph. Stupid iTunes. Life was so easy when I just played tapes.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FYI, I installed the new version of iTunes, and all seems to be well now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Recomendations for a "HiDef-ready" LCD TV around 28"-31"? Need DVI input, so I can copy ND and connect my Mac Mini to it.
There seems to be a huge variance of price for TVs like this.

I'll keep you posted. I'm starting to do a little research on the LCD TV's as I kinda think I might put a 27" or 30" one in my bedroom.
What?
Don't look at me like that.

I ended up buying this: [link] 30" LCD TV, as it got a good review... somewhere, and was only $1099. It works great, except for an annoying buzzing sound. It's there when I run the signal from my TiVo via coax, but it's much worse when I use the composit cable from the TiVo. Maybe I'll try component cables. Or perhaps better shielded cables, as maybe there's something else I have that's causing interference. But I never had this problem when I hooked my TiVo to a VCR and then to my ancient TV (using composit cables to the VCR and coax to the TV).
The Mac Mini works great hooked up via DVI, except that for a PC input it only has a mono input, which means I gotta wire the stereo output from the Mini directly to my stereo. Now to get WiFi and Bluetooth installed in the Mini.

Cheaper to DIY than to buy it that way?

No. To buy it that way you gotta order from Apple. I couldn't wait so I bought one off the shelf. eta: And when the Mini was in my bedroom the lack of wireless was not an issue, but it is when the Mini's in the living room.
The WiFi and Bluetooth upgrade kit is not supposed to be DIY, although it looks doable. But I'm not sure if someone who's not an Apple store or repair facility can buy the upgrade kit.

I downloaded the technical manual for the Mini other day.
The Mini has interesting instructions for opening. Reminds me of the classic style Macs. Break out the wide putty knives!
