I've not messed with the white balance extensively, but it seems to be pretty good. Also, since it can shoot in RAW format you can do a lot of adjustment to the image after it has been shot if you have the right software. I've been using it with Aperture.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
And there's always BitchX in a terminal, if you're hardcore.
sirc all the way :P
Although that would involve gettin' perl, which seems like effort. I'm liking the pretty at the moment.

Hey. New board.
perl should be pre-installed, actually. If not, it's easy if you have fink or darwinports (I very slightly prefer darwinports) which you totally should get if you're a Unixer.
Looking at macupdate.com, Conversation looks pretty nice (and very Mac-like) but doesn't work with Intel yet. And ircle seems like a popular choice, but it hasn't been updated in a LONG time.
Looking over the options, I think I'd probably use X-Chat Aqua even if I didn't know it. There's a reason it's the most popular graphical chat client on Unix machines too...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thanks, Jon! I may do a little price comparison first, but that's good to know.
I own that camera and love it. It takes really good low light shots.
Thanks, ND. I may pick your brain about Aperture at some point.

I have the bit older Rebel XT rather than XTi, but I love mine. Super camera.
Newegg has it for $779.99 with lens or $699.99 w/o lens
There are also lots of user reviews if you want to read them.

Not sure how valuable digital camera reviews from PC magazine are, but here's their take on five current models, including the Rebel XTi: [link]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
One of the Macbooks at school got the port for the power cord kinda shoved in, so it won't charge. My impulse is to open it up and nudge it back out. Is this a very, VERY bad idea and I should send it to the people who will fix it and charge us money, or have a go at it?
