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

So, are there not many 1TB harddrives available for the MacBook Pro? Is this a good one? [link]

Our wings are not tired

The 1 TB drives are pretty new in laptop size. I don't believe Seagate is making one yet which is what I'm waiting for to use in my machines.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Now that I've upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard (er...a few months ago), I'm getting around to setting up Time Machine. I'm backing up to an external HD that's plugged into my Airport Extreme base station. I've downloaded TimeMachineEditor to change the backup interval, because doing it hourly is crazy. Anyone have any other useful Time Machine suggestions?

All is well that ends in pizza.

-- allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices called dongles if the dongle no longer works and cannot be replaced.

All praise LOC, LOC is wise.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Apple has new iMacs, a 27" display, the Magic Trackpad, (which I will probably end up getting), and, finally, new Mac Pros (available in August).

the Magic Trackpad

Oh man, I want that for my work machine! Except it's an old G5 with no bluetooth. BOO.

I wonder if you can use a bluetooth USB dongle?

Wouldn't help - Snow Leopard only runs on Intel.

I didn't notice that Apple will be dropping both the 24" and 30" monitors, and will only be selling the 27" going forward.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Magic Trackpad
Pretty sweet! Love the new trackpad on my new work MacBookPro. Dunno if it's worth $70 for a 'mouse'.
