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!
You'll have your cool compact PowerBook to keep you company while Apple gets the kinks out and more developers switch their code to run natively on Intel.
Thanks Spidra - I needed to hear that. I was just microwaving my lunch and thinking back a couple years to those unbelievably frustrating few months when my office switched to OSX and how every day revealed some new and even more frustrating problem to spend an hour working on - just so you could print. Thinking of this, I muttered to myself "Totally. totally." (Which, of course, was the answer to my internal question "Do I keep the powerbook I just bought?") just as a co-worker walked in. Heh.
Besides. I just bought this awesome laptop case. So I have to keep the 12"!
Apple is still selling PowerPC-based iMacs and PowerBooks along side the new Intel versions, which sort of implies that even Apple is admitting that the Intel boxes aren't for everyone.
Also good to keep in mind.
I'll have to look at the new Macs when I'm not on my Treo.
On the camera side I've go a Canon SD500 and I adore it. Amazing 7.1 megapixel phots and it's tiny. The new SD550 has a larger 2.5" screen. It works like a charm with iPhoto as well.
iTunes 6.0.2 includes stability and performance improvements over iTunes 6.0.1.
Ah. Now I can update and see if it solves that annoying shuffle problem.
2 processors in every Macbook pro.
Guh.
Not only that, but they are both on one chip, to faster interact with each other.
Random question: Why is Ebay telling me (not from a spam email or anything, just when I go to the site) that in order to change my email address, i have to give them a credit card to have on file? I don't want to do that! I rarely use Ebay, and when I do, I use paypal. I don't think they should need my credit card info! I just want to change emails...because the current one will likely be going away. (I'm trying to change to a yahoo account, so maybe that's the issue, but geez--I've had THAT for 7 years, the ones that aren't free come with my internet and that's changed over the years!)
Huh. I just changed my e-mail address at eBay, and they didn't ask me for a cc number. I don't have one listed in my account, either.
The only thing I can think of is that I've never sold anything there, so they've never had to bill me any fees. It may be worth asking them what's the deal.
I can't think how to phrase this question to google an answer. Suggestions for that (or actual answers) would be fervently appreciated.
I have a large data file and have done calculations with a small number of the records (the calculations are so unwieldy I can only have about forty records in the calculation file).
I can copy the next 40 records in to the calculation file and save as file 2, but doing that thirty times by hand seems excessive. Is there a way to automate this? I do have experience programming in VBA.
Thanks for any and all help!
this sounds like the job of an excel macro.
