There were also strong rumors about the Intel MacMini at MWSF and also big ones about an Apple branded Plasma display. We'll see what happens. I like the new MacBooks but I need to wait for a 17" model and to see how well ProTools will run under Rosetta before I can really get one.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Somewhere else I read a rumor that the new Intel dual-core chips are gonna be in tight supply for a bit, which is why we're not seeing the Intel Mini or other sized MacBook pros.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You mean the rumor that comes right before the one you linked to?

Does anyone know why a PS2 game from America wouldn't work in a Playstation bought in Ireland? I thought they weren't regional?

Is it an official PS2 game? I've read that Sony keeps on updating the firmware to prevent the playing on unofficial games.

Yeah, it is. It just won't play on my PS2. It's a Sega game. Might that have something to do with it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is cool, LeN. Apparently I have the wrong service for my neighbourhood.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Probably excessively dull question:
Zmayhem has come into a small bit of money, just large enough that even though most of it will go toward debt reduction, we can set a very small bit aside to get a color printer/scanner for our G4. After slogging through a metric shitload of printer listings and user comments at Apple and epinions, these four appear to be both affordable and reasonably well-liked by the people who've used them. Does the hivemind have any recommendations/HELL NOs from this list, or printers we haven't looked at yet but should?
Many, many thanks. Printer choice is possibly the least exotic and exciting tech dilemma ever presented to the hivemind, but I trust the hivemind much, much more than my own.
