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.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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*.)

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

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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd double-check to make sure the memory is properly seated. If it still doesn't work, I'd try removing the memory and putting it back in. Most of my "computer doesn't recognize the memory I just put in" problems have been resolved by one of those two things.
It's also possible they sent you the wrong memory.

I'll reinstall later this evening.
Fingers crossed.

It depends on the system, but usually there's some sort of visual indication that the memory has "snapped" into place, so you might want to look for that too.
