Be sure to stop and say "Hi" to me.

Standing in line already?

Actually, I've got the opposite problem of Jess and amych. I have to go into work tomorrow, so I can't upgrade my computer at home until tomorrow afternoon, at the earliest.

Amych, I want it, too, but I'd have to get more RAM for Fredlet first, and I've got windows installing as we speak, so no $$$. (Err, house windows, that is. The sort that don't come with a million bugs and actually improve your quality of life.)

However, if I manage even two 40 hour weeks before this contract is up, I may splurge on a Mini for the house.

Mine hasn't shipped yet. On the dual upside -- Panther is still new territory for me, and Tiger's only costing $10.77. I can wait.

The evil genius that is Apple. If you're going to sped $129 on an OS, why not just throw in the extra bucks and get a Mini along with it?

I'm about to confess purest heresy: Tiger's features (from the descriptions and demos on Apple.com) don't thrill me enough that I have a burning need to upgrade immediately. My iBook is new enough, with Panther, that it does what I need it to do. And I'm still learning all its ins and outs. (Remember, I went from [gack] Windows ME at home and OS 9.1 at work to Panther on my iBook.)

I know, I know. I'm crazy in the head.

I wouldn't mind getting Tiger for work, but that's because I'm still on OS 9.1, and now I'm used to Panther's dock and Expose and other goodies, and then I come into work and try to F9 for Expose and nothing happens and it makes me sad.

I'm excited about the Widgets and the Search functions. I should have Tiger up and running soon, so I hope it's as cool as it's supposed to be.

I want the widgets, and the better iSync services and such. I live and die by having all my machines in sync and I'm a heavy user of the .mac services. I also want Mail2 and some other items.

Alas, I don't think I'll be able to mess with it until next week at the earliest.

Has anyone here created an RSS feed? I'm trying to organise mine, now that I've conquered the basic coding.

I have five subdomains whose updates I want to send out. Five separate feeds have the advantage that people can get all niche with their interest. However, it'd be simpler if I rolled them all into one, and when I add a site, not so much upheaval, just some code mods.

The units in the RSS file are channel and item. Do I make one channel with up to five items, or five channels? Am I allowed more than one channel in a file?

I'm stumped and the last few days Google has not been my friend. Is there anything I should be wary of or avoid when buying a second internal hard drive?
