LeN, I'll look at that when I'm not on my PDA. Thanks.
Perk, I don't usually use a case-I have a handy pocket in my purse. I have been known to use an Uncommon Goods pouch on occasion.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
what sorts of cases do you guys use for your PDAs?
I bought an E&B "Slipper" case for my Clié. [link]
I like it a lot, and it has held up really well through four years of constant use. It is padded enough to protect corners and edges, soft enough to be comfortable, and hard enough to protect the screen. I really like the magnetic catch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So, I finally got a straight answer from the apple repair people, and they can't find the part they need to repair my computer, and I am still in the extended applecare period, so they are going to give me a new computer, and just put my hard drive in the new one.
The transfer of the hard disk should save my ass from the fact that I haven't backed up my itunes or iphoto in a really long time, right?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Unless they blank it first, which would be silly, as they could just as well have given you a new computer with a blank hard drive.
OTOH? Maybe your new powerbook will be faster.
Make sure they give you at least as much RAM was you had, if you had upgraded.

Thanks Daniel. That's a good reminder, since I had upgraded the memory, and while hopefully I would have thought of it, who knows for sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do websites hosted at .Mac allow hotlinking of images?
Is it still naughty if you do it to yourself?
eta: Or, is stuff in a .Mac Public folder accessable through a browser?

All is well that ends in pizza.
When I had my .mac account, I hotlinked all the time.
I don't recall if the public folder is accessable through browsing.
Here, it says you can: [link]
But I can't test it, having no .mac account

Hey. New board.
Well, I have decided that I have room in my budget to replace my rapidly approaching dead iBook (it's started to flicker regularly, and it sometimes makes scary sounds). Thus, in a week, when the check I just deposited clears, I will be putting in an order for the lower-end MacBook Pro and an additional 1 GB of RAM at Other World.
Here's hoping the Early Adopter Bugs don't bite me in the ass.

It takes a week?

Ooh! Good luck. I'm jealous.
hmmm...
Once you get your MacBook, are you planning on selling your dying old iBook?
I would love to tear one apart and see if I could fix it. But then I say that about all the dying tech I get my hands on... :)
Maybe if I get a job soon...sigh.
