Perkins, why not voicemail through your local phone service?
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I thought of it, but tt's the cordless phone part that's fried, so I have to get a new phone in any case, and in the long run, it's cheaper to get a answering machine than voice mail.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have this phone, and it's been great. We've had it for over a year, and haven't encountered any of the problems mentioned in the Amazon reviews.

Hey. New board.
is it possible to use Windows PDAs with Macs?
Yes, to a limited degree, using Missing Sync. It syncs fine, but installing some PDA software can be a total bitch - a lot of it only comes in Windows-only install EXEs, rather than portable CAB files. Annoying, and one of the big reasons I switched to a Palm, but most people really don't need to install new software on their PDA every day, so may not be a dealbreaker for you.
In other news, my MBP came today. So far, I am loving it. It's kind of burning my legs a bit, but I could probably fix that by putting on pants.
The new sharing-enabled frontrow installed on it just fine this morning, and I played around. Pretty nice - with the Divx and XviD Intel Quicktime components installed I seem to be able to play most downloaded movies (VM and Arrested Development worked fine, as did Trapped in the Closet) using it. The iTunes frontend works well, too. Interestingly, the remote will control iTunes/Quicktime Player/DVD Player even if you don't access them through FrontRow, so you can use it just to turn things up/down from across the room. Also, works to control KeyNote, which will rock for presentations. When somebody writes a plugin to make it work with VLC, then I'll be a completely happy camper.
Oops, he's about to go to sleep. I am calibrating the battery, so I'm supposed to leave him asleep for a while. Plus, I should sleep myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nice.
Adium lovers -- does it work with the iSight?
Also, anyone have any recommendations for small (for use in a cubicle) air purifiers?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Apparantly it takes more work to replace the memory in the Intel Mini than the old one (you now have to move the HD out of the way first). Which is nice to know, as I gotta add memory to my old Mini.

Yeah -- the link that went to that page recommended getting the extra memory with the box, but that seems a bit overkilly.
