Also, no more 12" PowerBook.
Nooooooooo! I like the teeny ones!
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. Once nice thing about PowerBooks is that they have DVI (digital video) output and can be connected to monitors with much higher resolution than the PowerBook itself (neither is true of the iBook). So my idea is to get the 12" PowerBook and connect it to a big LCD display when I'm at home and need the extra screen real estate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the name of the bar at the bottom of IE (6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920) where it'll show the URL of the link you're hovering over, and the type of site you're on? Something I did on this training machine means that it's defaulting to not being there. One of the web apps will spawn a window with it on, so I'm using it to generate my windows, but I'd rather know what it is, and where the setting in Internet or Folder Options to put it back.

Hmm. I don't see the relevant setting in either Folder or Internet Options.

On my IE, you just open the browser, go to View and check Status Bar.

DORK!
I'm talking to myself, by the way.
I have no idea how that got unchecked.

I'm convinced that, every once in a while, your browser just likes to uncheck stuff to fuck with you. Like "Block Pop Up Windows."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
But the 12" ROCKS!
Sigh. When and if I am able to get a different Powerbook from Fredlet, I suppose I'll have to grin and bear the 15".

So is Mac OS X for x86 going to be able to run on non-Apples? I assume that's not going to be the case since then you could pick up a powerful $700 PC notebook and spend an extra $150 bucks on OS X and undercut the lowest priced Mac notebooks.
