Oddly enough I just bought a set of component cables (red/blue/green ) from BestBuy which caused everything to look pink. When I replaced them with a set composite/audio cables (red/white/yellow) that I had laying around everything looked fine.

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. Maybe the blue and/or green cable had an internal break?

Maybe msbelle tampered with them.

I'm looking for a Mac FTP client with the ability to schedule uploads. Anyone got a favorite?
(Currently we're using Cyberduck because it's free, but I could probably persuade my boss to shell out for something more full-featured.)

I love Transmit, but I’m not sure if it schedules uploads. Transmit just got a new upgrade.

Scheduling's not on the Transmit feature list, but it could be worth a look.
YummyFTP looks like it does everything we want - anyone ever use it?

More Mac help - DH's 5 year-old iMac has developed an internet problem. In that it will randomly drop his internet connection even when everything else in the network is working fine.
Any tips? (Other than buying a new computer, which we can't afford right now.)

iPad Killing Netbooks Already?
An interesting chart released from Morgan Stanley Research this morning shows that during the month of April - the month the iPad launched - netbook sales stalled. Did the iPad really have that much impact on an industry that was once the fastest-growing segment of the PC market? Or was the netbook's fall from grace bound to happen at some point, with or without the Apple tablet's help, as consumers discovered how hard it is to type on those tiny keyboards?
The netbook market saw incredible growth around this time last year. CNNMoney's Philip Elmer-DeWitt, who uncovered the chart in a research report about HP's acquisition of Palm, notes that netbook sales peaked last summer at "an astonishing 641% year-over-year growth rate."
But in January, coincidentally (or not?) the same month that Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the forthcoming tablet computer dubbed the iPad, netbook sales took a nose dive. But by nose dive, we mean they only saw 68% year-over-year growth during this time frame, the first month of the new year. That's not actually all that bad, is it? It only looks bad in comparison to the incredible numbers netbooks saw last summer.
But what's more telling is that the numbers continued to trend downwards since then: 53% in February, 25% in March and a meager 5% in April.
If the iPad had been available a few years ago I would have bought one instead of my netboook. I'm still tempted to get one....
