Well, it's not a terribly wrong conclusion. ::grin::
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Speaking of things gotten for Christmas, I'm going to talk to my IT department (but hold out little hope)--I got a jump drive with the idea that I could then easily get things between my home and work computers....but today tried to use it at work, and didn't seem to get anything, becuase it's Windows NT. Am I right in suspecting NT is eeeeevil? (The support page for the specific product said for Win98 you needed a driver, and for Win2000 and XP you didn't....but didn't mention NT).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ever since I bought my iBook, it's been my favorite computer ever. Well, my Apple cube arrived today and it's my new favorite. Such a beautiful design (along with the 17" Apple LCD display I bough). It has no cooling fan so it's eerie how it's completely silent.

I just gotta get Airport, bluetooth and a wireless keyboard and mouse. Then I have to decide: upgrade the 450 mhz G4 processor to a 1.7 Ghz processor, or two 1.5 Ghz processors....

When your cube is reduced to a blob of melted plastic, you know where to find another...

For anything but copying music from an iPod to your computer, [link] is a good source of information.

Hey, people do it with add-in boards designed especially for the Cube. There are three companies that offer them. (Of course, cooling fans are required.) eg: [link]

All is well that ends in pizza.

Think Secret claims Apple will release a $499 monitorless iMac.
The problem is, this kind of thing has popped up often over the years.

I'm remembering the MacChimney. Looked like the Tin Man's hat. Or Tom Teriffic's.

Well, Dan, the rumours are supposed to be pretty well-founded. It would be a sensible business move, because I know plenty of people who'd own a mac if it were affordable. Like me. Or rather, I do own macs. Just not new ones.

Me too.
Sadly? Lots of them.
