Looks like AOpen is going to make a Mac Mini knock-off (with Linux or Windows of course).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's AOpen's quality like these days? Back when I worked for a VAR who was being cheap, we integrated a ton of them. They were horrible wrt reliability.

No idea. The only AOpen hardware I've used have been a mouse and keyboard. I don't have much interest in a computer that small anyhow, I like having all standard sized parts. Nice looking piece though.

On the low end they are only $100 cheaper than a Mac Mini, and it sounds like the Pentium M model will actually be more expensive than a Mini.

Is there a Mac utility for cleaning out disc space? Emptying FCP's Capture Scratch (and DVDSP's MPEG folder) isn't quite getting me far enough for the current project I'm working on, so I'm wondering if there's a slew of temporary files I can trash or something.
(The ideal solution would be to get permission from management to buy an external hard drive, but I need space *today*.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anybody got any recommendations for a good cheap printer for use with an iBook?
My magenta decided that it really and truly hates me (we've been touch and go for months now)

I've got a Canon that's been quite good to me.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I saw an article a while back that said HP branded printers were the best for OS X, but I don't know if it was a real comparison or a puff piece.

Blargh.
I installed the extra memory we talked about the other day...just cuz it was here and, why not? The eMac doesn't seem to even recognize it.
System Profiler says 128 built in and 256 L2 cache.
If the memory card was any good, it would say 256 built in, right?
Or am I misreading?
