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!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I do own macs. Just not new ones.

Me too.

Sadly? Lots of them.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Exactamundo. Though I am freakishly excited about getting back to my Wall Street.

Rob or anyone else who might know,

Are there any special Apple deals to troops in Iraq? My nephew is thinking of buying a 17 inch PowerBook G4 1.5GHz on eBay, [link] and I said I would check around.

I managed to copy the files on my iPod off to my computer, and then start up iTunes. I rule! Now, if only my BiL can manage it, given the directions I was able to convey. I fear not...

I haven't heard of any.

Hey folks.

Just got a TiVo.

Is there any way to rip the shows off it?

Sadly? Lots of them.

Me too. And even sadder? Not all of them work...but I can't get rid of them! Ittsa disease.

Two towers, one powerbook, one iMac (on which I come to you)

one new eMac...still not with new memory, but on the way!

Hm. I wonder if the tower memory could be scavenged? Nah. That would be too easy.

eta: And one very nice studio display that would LOVE a new cheap, monitorless Mac!

etaa: Hm. I wonder if I could network the monitor to the newly memoried eMac to run two screens at once? Is that complex?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All of my Macs work, but my Mac Portable locks up every time I try to eject a floppy. And its 30 Meg hard drive is about full. And it's one of the models without backlighting, so reading the screen demands carefull attention to room lighting.

Huh. Two of my three Macs were considered big failures in the marketplace.

Rip them off TiVo how, CaBil? Onto your computer?

I have so much cube envy. Just the sight of that design makes me squirm like that cartoon basset hound with a cookie. Mmmmhphmmmphmmph.

But the melty potential skeered me offa them.

Not to mention that no one mentioned...the weigh a ton!

But still...envy.
